ends in defeat This has resulted IN
a reduction in the Turkish territory,
especially in Europe, until it is now
one of the smallest countries on the
continent.
To hold their enemies and at the
same time infiict the greatest losses
possible, seems to be the campaign
the allies are carrying against the
Germans in the north of France ana
in Belgium. For weeks the great
forces of the German empire have
been pounding away at the allied ranks
trying with desperation to break
through their lines and force an open
ing to the French coast. But 1t mas

resistible strength of the allies the Ger
mans had to fight in flooded territory.
II was too much for them and they
were forced to retreat.
Another attempt is now being made
nv the Germans to force their way
through the region surrounding fpres.
II seems to be the last chance the
Germans will have, and they must eth
or succeed or retreat back through
Belgium. When the siege on Paris
failed, the kaiser, it is said, resolved
to begin a campaign on England. For
this purpose the control Of the French
and Belgian coast was necessary. Ant
werp was taken and the German forces
moved on to the Belgian coast. But all
was lost when they failed to reach
the French coast.
Much interest is being manifested In
the campaign in the east. With the
Great Russian hordes threatening the
richest region of Germany with inva
sion, military experts are wondering
! what will be the next move OF the
Germans. According to the latest re
ports the Russians have advanced as
far as the Warthe river, in Russian
Poland. and are now on the border
of East Prussia. The Germans are
said to have retreated into East Prus
STA. In the east of East Prussia the
Russians are also said to have made
much Roadway. With the Russians
closing in from two directions the Ger
man forces in Prussia are facing
serious dilemma.
Now that they have been cut off from
the German forces in Galicia, the Aus
TRAN armies have only one recourse
and that is, to retreat through thu
Carpathian mountains. For man!
weeks the Austrian forces have bat
tied with the Russians, but it has beef
a losing fight. When things looked

armies It appeared for a time tina
the Russians would be forced to Civ
