London, Dec. 21.--The offensive op-
erations of the allies in the west are
being carried out under conditions of
siege warfare and are being stubborn.
ly opposed by the Germans, who, in
their entertainments and surrounded
by wire entanglements, make an add
vance of even few yards costly
matter for the attacking forces.
In Flanders a little ground has been
gained at considerable cost despite
the fact that along the coast the al
lies have the assistance Of warships
which continually lombard the Ger
man positions. The advance has been
more marked from the Belgian border
south to the River Disc. where the
ground is not as wet as in the flood
ed regions of Flanders.
Along the Aisne and in the Cham
payne district the French artillery,
which now probably is stronger than
the German, has been busy keeping
the Germans on the move. but in the
Arsonne region it is the Germans who
are on the offensive and they claim TO
have made a slight advance.
The general opinion Of military men
here is that some time must elapso
before the allies can expect to make
any marked progress. Besides being
in fortified positions, which could only
be taken after having been thorough
ly searched out by the artillery. the
Germans still have more machine
guns than the allies and, as has been
long as they they can be successfully
operated make infantry attacks too
costly to be attempted

London, Dec. 22-The great battle
to the west of Warsaw has yet to be
fought out, Judging from the indica-
tons conveyed in recent dispatches
pears to British military observers
that the German contention that Cen
cral Won Hindenburg had scored a
notable success over the Russians
must be qualified.
The German army commanded by
General Won Hindenburg has made a
steady advance in the direction Of the
Polish capital, but the Russians. in
falling back, appear to have taken
new positions in strong entrench-
ments and in spite of the fact that the
invaders are within two or three days
march OF Warsaw there is sood rea-
son to believe that hard fighting must
come before the Germans can occnpy
the Polish city.
Petrograd advices say the Russian
forces still are holding at bay the
German column which is seeking to
cross the Bzura river at So::hac@eW
and advance on Warsaw. For three
days this German army OF 100000
men has been endeavoring to cross
the river and throw back the Rus.

Sweep Against Russians.

| Along the southern frontier of East
Prussia, which is north of the Wis
tula river, the Russians say they have
the upper hand, but further to the
! south, in Southern Poland, as we'll as
in Galicia, the leaders of the Austro-
German forces declare they are sweep
ing the Russians before them. That
cradle distance in the last few days
| is borne out by a Petrograd dispatch
which says that southwark from the
BaZura river the Russian line extends
to Opoczno, twenty-five miles east OF
Pietrkow, which they recently evacu-
ated and forty-tive miles east of
ScZerczow, where the Russians first
opposed the German extreme right.
This shows the Russians have been
driven back forty-fve miles since the
evacuation of LODI, which the Rus
slams say was logical sequence of
the retirement to their third line of
defense. The Russians claim, how
ever, this retirement to the south Of
iodZ has no bearing on the attack on
Warsaw.
The vigorous Austrian offensive in
Southern Poland and Galicia has ne
cessitated the withdrawal of many
troops heretofore used in Servia and
in guarding the Danube frontier, and
there are indications that the Aus
trian attempts to crush Servia will
be abandoned for the time being.
Allies Report Gains.
The operations of the allies in
Flanders and Northern France, after a
long period of sporadic fighting at de-
tached points, apparently have assum-
ed the character of general move
ment in an attempt to press back the
entire German line. The French Off
cial statement says that appreciable
gains have been made not only in
FLANDERS, but at other points in the
long battle line. although it is ad.
united that the Germans are resisting
with determination.
The French statement says the day
brought nothing of Importance in Bel
GUM, if exception is made OF some
progress in the region of Lombaertiz,
yde and st. Georges and at point to
the southeast of the Inn of Kortaker,
which is southeast of Bixschoote; the
occupation of some houses in War
telem, south of Zillebeke, and the Ger
man bombardment of the hospital at
Ypres.
Between the Lys and the Aisne riv-
ers the French say the allies have &C.
cupied a forest near the route be-
tween Noulettes and Souchez and cap
tl,red the first line of German trenches
between this highway and the first
houses of Notre Dame de Loretta,
southwest of I.oOs.

Germany must be in dire straits if
they find 1t necessary to finance Turk
ey in order to induce that country to
make common cause with them in the
war against the allies. The probabi-
tiles are that Roumania, Greece, Bull
garia and. perhaps. Italy will be drag
ged into the conflict on the side of
the allies by Turkeys attack on Rus
STA and England. and in this event the
strength that Germany gains from
Turkey will be more than counter
balanced BY the assistance the allies
will receive from the powers named.
