london Sept. 12.Three tremen- dous struggles are waging along as many battle lines and from none or 4l,eyn coYII1sss s ei3oft Of a decisive re- eration is complicated by the news from Berlin which Ignores General Won Kluckss efforts on the German right while indicating that the German attack on verdun proceeding success fully. A
 Bavarian 9th corps seem to indicate that that army is merely expected to prevent the sending of allied rein- forcenents northward If the German attack on the southerly exposure of the Verdun forts assisted by the great siege guns, succeeds the complete in- vest1nent of verdun will ensue.
 The situation along the Russian bor- ders is becoming as obscure as the western operations. Berlin reports that the victory of General Won Hindenburg will clear East Prussia Of Russians Ebut military experts at Petrograd de- clare that 1t 1s incredible that the Russians should give up the invest ment of Koenigsberg un1css ssuff greater disaster than that which has been reported
 Tn Russian Poland the Russians stil1 claim to be successful while operating against the Austrians alone, but they are making less impression on the coHb1Re0 AuStrO-German armies on the Vistula- The stand being made along the Vistula has caused several military experts at Petrograd to assert that German achievements from France are being sent to Galicia in- stead of to East Prussia as was at first reported. This done, according to the opinion of these experts, because Ger many feared that an overwhelming disaster Of the Austrian forces might lead the dual monarchy to conclude peace independently of Germany. 9th CT expert observers in Petrograd are equally firm in the opinion that Ger man veterans from the fields of Bel gium and France have been sent to East Prussia where their presence is believed to account for the Russian check. The most substantial gain by Russian forces within the past 24 hours has been the capture of Tomas zow which probably clears the way for the advance of the Russian center on the Austro-German forces on the yistula river.
