NOT A REAL VICTORY YET.
British War once Says Both sides
Have Gained successes.

LoNroN, Aug. 22.-The official news bu-
reau 60 the War Office and Admiralty.
In a statement issued this afternoon, warns
the British public that the campaigns
now In progress are on an enormous scale
and have scarcely more than commenced
and that practically all information re-
gard lg them comts from the allies. The
statement says:
VERY little news filters In from Ger
many an Austria by the channels OF neu-
trail countries, but sufficient do filter
through to indicate that the enemy claims
successes in various quarters, both In
the Western and eastern theatrs OF war.
1T should furthermore he remembered
that these campaigns have been carried
out on an enormous seal. and that ma
jority OF the encounters which already
have taken place can only in their due
perspective be classed as incidents OF
minor Importance,
mo achievement on either side de-
serves to be called "A victory. The French
have gained gratifying successes In AL
SAGE, tho Germans by a steady pressure
have Obliged large portion of the Bel
gian field army to retire on Antwerp.

are believe to have gained ground. but
the campai Ign In that quarter can scarcely
be said 70 have commenced. The ex-
-gcration into important trlumphs OF
mino- episodes In which the allied forces
are alleg d to have gained the upper
hand Is misleading This, however, may
be said
"In the western theatre OF the war
that In which this country IL most imme-
! dately interested-one real noteworthy
succ IS has been gained, although II
should perhaps be called German fail
ure rather than an allied success.
AT the end OF three weeks the enemy
has not yet attempted to liver an at

and might have proved prejudiclal tc

this circumstance. These supposltlons
have proved incorrect. The situation a

While nothing has yet come in
through official channels to indicate
what the course Of Germany Is to be,
the general belief Is that she Will no,
yield to Japan's demands and at the
same time enter denuncatlon OF the
Government OF Japan. The Japanese
rather expect that the Emperor will
take advantage Of the opportunity to
make presentation of the German side
of the case and 1t is believed that what
he may say will be highly sensational
and hotly denunciatory OF Japan
Uncertainty exists as to the means
through which the German decision will
% made known to Japan and the rest
or the world. 1t is thought barely pos
sible that the answer will be delivered
through the German Amba ,sador a.
Toxic but 1t is considered more prob
able that II will be handed the Japanese
charge in Berlin, who delivered to the
Berlin Government the japanese ultima
tum.
The uncertainty as to this point is

that Germany will ask Ambas sador
Gerard to act as a means OF communi-
eating the German answer to the
United States and then to Japan, but
Department officials this afternoon did
not expect the reply to take this course.
Reports from Toxic that newspapers
