raitted oepeiaI.

London. Oct o4.-Superlative have
Seen so frequently used in the at
.empts to describe the engagements OF
The present war that the emphasis OF
such terms as "most desperate,
7ioisne" and crucial" has been
Weakened by daily use; but today as
If by mutual agreement both German
and British characterize the conflict
along the front line from Lille in
France TO the Belgian seaboard as the
greatest struggle OF all.
London newspapers were quick TO
seize the suggestion of a German mill
tary expert, as cabled. that this is
the crucial conflict of the whole cam
paign, and whether this be SO or not
II is contended that the outcome is
likely to decide the future of German
operations in France. Reinforcements
of 100000 men are said to have been
rushed to the German right wing and
it seems no exaggeration to say that
these operations fill the supreme ef-
fort of the invaders to break thru the
allies line.
Airehip. Hurled Into Fray.
Being denied the use of warshlps,
which have been rendering good ser
vices TO the allies, Germany is said t
have been hurting her air craft more
I and more into the fray, and news dis
patches relate that the operations Of
Zeppelins have been marked feature
OF the fighting to the southwest OF
Ostend. toward which seaport the
troops of France. England and Belgium
are said to be working their way.
This in brief is broad view OF the
situation in France and Belgium from
the English standpoint. Which SIDE
had the advantage is not known ex-
cept to the general staff of the op-
posing armies All the public VIII
know. barring something unforeseen IN
the nature of catastrophe to one army
or the other. will be that the terrihc
artillery duel near the Belgian coast
has continued and that one side was
pnshed back here only to advance
there. as was explained in the official
communication issued in Paris last
: night.
Russians Hold Upper Hand.
That the Russians generally speak
ing. continue to hold the upper nand IN
she eastern arena of the war is the
sist of most of the dispatches reaching
london, and accepting this as true,
England thinks that the putting OF
Germany on the defensive in this ter
ritory will prevent her from trans
ferring any forces to the western arena.
The french force at Verdun came &c
the fore again today as a result OF
news from German sources TO the eHect
that German forces are drawing closer
~ ,hese positions and that the French
sorties are failing.
London newspapers are treating a:
s;gnifcan. the withdrawal OF German
,raans from Antwerp and Brussels. bu
thcse movements would appear to bt
on,v part of plan to reinforce the
fighting line.

out hut there has been temporary
1n,l in these efforts. due to the lack O
adequate detention camps.

Eorejun Forces.

Washington. Oct. 23.-The probabil-
ity Of increasing American forces in
China along the railway to the sea. be-
cause OF the withdrawal OF the troops
of other nations, is being considered by
the war department. The railway and

sary additional guards.

Germans TO Respect Monroe Do.trin.

Germ ans to Respect monroe OoStft0e.
Washington. Oct. 24.-The German
ambassador Count Won Bernstorff,
said today that early in the European
war he had assured the United States
government that no matter what the
outcome of the conflict, Germany
would respect the Monroe doctrine.
Count Bernstorff said ne had filed
with the state department on Sept. 3.
soon after his arrival in this country
from Berlin, written official state
ment that Germany would not in
fringe on the Monroe doctrine, no mat
ter what the outcome of the war.
The ambassador said that his assur-
ances had first been given Informally
in a conversation with one of the Off
cials of the state department. He could
not recall whether it was Secretary
Bryan or Councillor Lansing. Mr..
Lansing said today the assurances had
not been given to him. and that he did
not know of them. Secretary Bryan
is now in the west speaking in the
congressional campaigns.
The ambassador said the statements
was made because of statements from
various English sources that Germany,
IL successful, would not respect the
Monroe doctrine, and doubtless would
attempt to make great colonization
schemes in South America. The am
bassador said he later put the letter
in writing.
