Saws ENEMY Is Cornered.

Telegraphing from st. Petersburg, the
correspondent of the Reuter- Telegram
Company says:
1.-THE principal Russian losses in Prussia
up to the present have resulted from the
determination of the rank and file of the
Russian army to get at the enemy. AL
though the mounted guards in the center
have suffered heavily. the infantry ad-
vances have been more than satisfactory
The enemy is virtually cornered in east
ern Prussia.
Mounted officers arriving in St Peters
burg in relating their stories of the front
dwell on the fear displayed by the Ger
mans of the Russian cavalry.
Military experts say the equipment OF
the Germans is excellent. and that their
artillery is good, but that thier rifle
shooting is deficient as regards accuracy.
They add that the Japanese were Infinite
~ superior in this respect in the Russo
Japanese war and accomplished In an
hour what the Germans would require a
day to do.

Advance on Paris Predicted.

The German embassy made public
dispatch said to have been received
by wireless via Sayville, L. l., saying
the greater part of the Belgian French
frontier was in German hands, and
Paris.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British
ambassador, and Viscount Chinda, the
japanese ambassador, called at the
State Department just as Mr.. Jusserand
was leaving. The three diplomats
chatted in the diplomats anteroom.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice has Issued a. state
ment disagreeing with an interview at
tributed to Count Johann H. Won Bern
storff. ambassador of Germany, given in
New York
This disagreement is couched in diplo-
matte language as follows:
''The ambassador says that he does not
wish to enter into a conflict of fact with
the German ambassador, but if the Ger
man ambassador is correctly reported
the British ambassador can only say that
this report differs materially from that
of the British ambassador in Berlin
Who Sought the WARP
Count Won Bernstorf is quoted as say
ing that England Sought and declared
war with Germany" adding that she had
arranged with France so that the latter
country would be able to withdraw her
entire fleet from the Atlantic seaboard
and transfer it to the Mediterranean.
But while this was known in the for
eign Office" Count Won Bernstorf was
quoted as saying, sit was not known
among the German people. and when the
news reached Berlin that Germany, be-
sides fighting Russia and France. would
also have to fight England, a strong wave
of feeling was aroused. A crowd gath
cred in the street before the British en-
bassy The police held them in check
until one of the windows of the embassy
was opened and lot of cigar boxes and
copper coins were thrown down to the
crowd Then for a moment the unruly
element got control, and broke some of
the embassy windows. The police gained
the upper hand, and nothing more hap
pened. This is in strong contrast to what
happened in st. Petersburg, where the
German embassy building was actually
destroyed"
The British ambassador took exception
to this account of the incident in front
of the embassy in Berlin, making it alb
soIutely plain that he felt to be unwar-
ranted the statement that the officials of
the embassy had thus insulted the crowd
in Berlin. #...

Germans the scene of interest shifted
to the Paris railway station, where the

without theatrical display.
The station at the time was crowded
with Americans who were on their way
