LONDON, Oct. 7.-Reports from France today indicate that both op posing armies have been trying tc encircle each other at the northwest end of the lines. The Germans have received 10000 fresh troops from Bel gium and with large number of Uh lans are trying to get behind the French line and cut it's communica tion with the coast, while in turn the allies are trying to throw men around the German line and cut their line through Belgium.
 Caused Change of Front. Military experts here believe that the Germans are trying a desper ate game, as they must now change front. drop the line of communica. tion through Luxemburg and depend upon the line in Belgium for all sup plies. They have already weakened the lines to the East in France and General Pau, taking advantage of this fact has made tremendous gains in Asace and Lorraine. The first pro- vince he has almost entirely in his control, having cleared the Germans out and also controls part of LOT raine. The artillery duels continue day and night.
 Gains In the East.
 From Russia come the most en- couraging reports. The Germans have been forced to abandon the German fortified city of Lyck and seek safety in the lake districts of East Prussia, while the Russians are advancing again on Konigsberg.
 Russians Spreading In Hungary.
 The Russians operating in Galicia have carried all the passes in the Carpathian mountains and have reach ed the Hungarian plains, where they cannot be opposed, as the country is flat. The Russians are reported as having sent large army of 100000 men towards Servia to aid the Ser vians, who have been hard pressed the past two weeks.
 Turks Expected In the War Shortly.
 The Turks are expected to enter the fighting in few days. The Sui- tan has refused to allow the Russian ships of commerce to pass the Dar- danelles and the allies look for trou- ble within 8 day or two. Should Turkey join Germany and Austria; Bulgaria. Rumania, Greece and Italy will join with the allies and the fate of the Sultan will be sealed.
 London is Optimistic.
 The people are very optimistic and are now confident that the allies are passed the crisis and that from now on the German strength will wane, while the allies are growing stronger each day.
 Preparing for zeppeIins.
 Military officers are preparing to receive the fleet of Zeppelins should they raid England. Fifty aeroplanes have lately been secured from Amer ican manufacturers, besides those finished at British factories and 100 aeroplanes will guard London day and might.
 Crown Prince Getting Ills. The German crown prince Is sure ly getting his. The French have thrown reserves against his positions in the Argonne district, where he has lost much ground and Is being push ed back. Generals Maunary and Du- vail are in command of the French armies operating against the Grown Prince. who has the pick of the Ger man regular troops.
 Battle Line North of vsrdun.
 All efforts of the Germans to re- ducs the big French forts at verdun hays failed and the German line has now been driven so far north of the forts that the garrison has been re- duced to a very few. while the men are operating against the crown prince. Reims is also free from at. tack. lap the German line in that section has also been pushed back af- ter being weakened to aid General von Kluck.
