 THE SITUATION.

The battle of the Aisne is enter . ing upon it's fourth week with : evry little change along battle front of 120 miles. The Allies ' continue to push their lines grad ually northward, although Gen. von Kluck on Monday succeeded in foiling their attempt to turn the German right wing. There are constant encounters, and fre- quently great loss of life all along the line, but the positions of both ' armies appear almost impregna- ble. It is reported in London that ! the emperor has removed Gen. von Moltke as Chief of Staff be- cause of difference of opinion in the strategy of making an at : tack in force with air ships on
 seNand.
 The East the Cars armies =,es9nave begun their advance on Ger man territory, having completely defeated and routed them at Au- . gustowo, Poland It is reported < thatlth Germans lost 10000 in 7 that battle. The Russians are al- so swarming into Hungary. eSG ' Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 London.-Roye, the little town on the main road from Amiens to Noyon the heights around which have been alternately occupied by the French and the Germans during the past week, still is the center of battle of great violence.
 The Germans, who are fighting stub. bornly to protect their flank at this point, have brought up reinforce. ments but, according to the French of1cial communication all their at lacks have been repulsed. The ac tion, however, still is proceeding and upon it much depends, for if the Ger. mans are beaten, their line of com. munication at Tergnier will be se- riously threatened.
 Of other operations on this front which extends as far north as Arras nothing has been disclosed since the French themselves announced that their force debouching from Arras had fallen back slightly on the east and north of that town.
 There Is evidence from other sources that the Germans are making preparations to protect their flank should retirement become necessary They have evacuated West Flanders and their attack on Antwerp is be- lieved by many to be designed to keep the Belgians busy and to prevent them from operating on what would be Gen eral von Kluck's left should be fall back through Belgium.
 it may be many days before either side attains it's objective. Except for the forces absolutely needed else where, the Germans are maintaining their strength in France and besides fighting off the French efforts on their right, are themselves remaining on the offensive on the French right
 The army of the crown prince, which has been in the thick of the fighting since the Germans began their invasion of France, made an at ,tempt to slip through the wood of La CrnfT, but the French report says was thrown back to the north of the Varepnes-La-Haraze ViennaLa-Ville ross.s This road pierces the northern part of the Argonne forest, so that the French must have made a con siderable advance in this region and strengthened out the line from the north of Verdun to the north of Rheims.
 This attack of the crown princes army doubtless is what the Germans referred to in their Fridays report
