military critic, Lieutenant Colonel
Rousset, declared the battle still can
last for some time, pointing out that
modern encounters last as long as for
mer campaigns did. In 1859 the situa-
tion was settled in two months, while
in 1870 it took thirteen weeks, the
fighting after Sedan and Metz being
merely a contest for honor.

ing is in progress in and around the
town OF Douai. midway between Arras
and Valenciennes on the railroad to
Mons, is taken in London to show how
surely the allies in northern France
have pushed the forward movement,
and the hope that they will envelop
General Won Kluck, commander of the
German right wing, in a net of steel.
For the last week the Germans, SO
far as can be ascertained from the few
facts known in London. have been
vainly hurting themselves against the
different points in the allies line in
an endeayor to discover a weak mesh
IN the net. Al the present time, in the
view of General Joffre. commander in
chief of the French forces, the process
u attrition has gone far enough to
Justify the resumption of offensive
movements on the part of the allies, as
is announced In the latest comn1uni-
cation from French headquarters.
Battle For High Lands.
Apparently the plan now is to at
tempt something decisive against the
German right wing and if possible
bring to an end this contest, which for
magnitude and stubbornness is without
precedent in history.
The series of high lands stretching
north and south along the allied left
are the master keys of the battle and
a considerable force from overseas and
elsewhere have been pushed up to
secure control of them. AT SCISSORS the
German trenches already have been
captured but the Germans continue to
fight fiercely and are still attacking at
this point as along the entire line Of
battle, which their latest official report
asserts is going in their favor just as
confidently as General Joffre maintains
the contrary.
On Defensive in East.
In the eastern theater of the war. the
Germans would appear, according to
the observer, to be preparing a series
of defenses before taking the offensive
They are busily engaged between
Thorn, East Prussia and Galicia. in en-
trenching themselves against the Rus
sian host gathering on the other side Of
the frontier. 1t is calculated there are
no fewer than 100000 men fighting ip
this eastern arena and repetition of
the long and arduous battles which
have been such feature of the struggle
in France, seems certainty.
Russians Got Foothold in Hungary.
The Russians continue to push east
ward on Cracow, evidently with the
hope of getting thence to Breslau, and
they go on strtehcing their tentacles
out southward toward Budapest. Cos
sacks are well in on the plains Of Hun
gary. Even Budapest admits that they
have crossed the river Thesis. which
was regarded as one Of the main
obstacles to their progress. BY getting
across the river at Szitegh they secured
the second line leading to the Hungar-
ian capital. They had already seized
the L.emburg- Budapest line at Ungh-
var.
The Austrians on the other hand
claim further victories against their
smaller enemy invading Bosnia. but
they are silent on the subject Of Sara
teyo, which. according to Servian and
Montenegrin statements. IS surrounded
by their allied armies.
