 l. Germany is striking anotheFl mighty blow along the whole 1 line of battle.( Rescrudescencet of activity is indicated by to-3 days official French statement8 which mentions severe eneoun43 ters at various points betweem Flanders and the Swiss border
 Meanwhile, fighting is pro- ceeding actively by land and ,byl sea in the new war zone ereat- ed by Turkeys entrance into the conflict, and a British war ship is said to have met with disaster in the attack on the DardaneIles.
 The battle in Belgium has re- suited in no decisive advan- tages for either side. The f1ereest encounters center about a sharp bend in the Ger man line forming a triangle with the northern base af Dix nude, the southern at Ypres and the apex at Ronlers. Around this comparatively small area are canapnessel great bodlas of men eng ed in fso deadly q struggle that, heed less of the effectiveness of ar ,tillery fire, the opposing forces have pushed forward until they have come into active physical contact. Only sheer weight of men and metal is sufficient to win a temporary advance.
 Reports. from British and French sources make the claim that the German attack is weak ening and the allies now have a reasonable hope of driving back their foes to the interior of Belgium and thus compelI- ing a general retirement along the. rest of thel inc. German advices, however; offer no basis for such a conclusion. Alp parent1y the Germans are bringing in heavy reinforce ments, in the determination of increasing instead of diminish ing the fury of their attack Emperor William is said to be at the scene personally direct ing the attack. Forty heavy German guns from the Krupp works at Essen are on their way to Arras at which point the attack is developing with violence. in pursuance of the supposed new plan of the Ger mans to pierce the French line at that point.
 Germans On orrensive
 Along the rest of the line the offens- i've remains generally with the Ger mans. The French statement says that lin the region of the Argonne forest, in the woevre district and further east. around Nancy. there have been heavy engagements. in some instances leading to bayonet encounters. No important victories are claimed by the French, although minor advances arc said to have been made at Various points.
 In the east the Russians claim a de- cisive~ victory over the Austrians- They have recaptured the town of Jaroslau near the long disputed fort lress of Przemys1, Petrograd reports. capturing 5000 Austrian prisoners. The Austrians are now said to be in re- treat.
 In Poland the Germans have ean- ployed the same tactics as in France, by pushing forward their troops as rapidly as possible and meanwhile fortIfying a strong line to the rear to which they might fall back. They have given way to these selected po- sitions and the Russians now face the same problem which confronted tho French and British in France of driy- ing the enemy from the strongly forti- fled places For that reason, it is said that some time will elapse be- fore the issue in the cast is decided definitely.
 Russia is prosecuting vigorously war against Turkey. Petrograd advices are that Russian forces have entered Armenia by two routes and that sew eral Turkish regiments have been cap tured The Turkish fleet continues its activities in the Black Sea, having bonabarded the. fortified Russian ssa7 Taz4
