France by the amazing German rush
through Belgium, Nicholas attacked
sooner than he otherwise would have
done. AS a result, he met two disas-
tiers.
He sent General Samsonoff into
East Prussia from the south and
General Rennenkampf into East Prus-
STA from the east, the latter winning
the first large engagement of the war
in the East at Gumbinen.
At this moment the Germans, be-
lieving that the French were well in
hand and about to be surrounded on
their eastern frontier, quickly with
drew 100000 men from France and
hurled them by rail into East Prus-
STA, where they fell upon Samsonoff
with crushing force in the great Ger
man victory of Tannenberg Aug. 2S).
Meanwhile, the Austrians, leaving
only few troops in Galicia to hold
back the Russians advancing from
Tarnopol on the line of the Gnila-LirN.
struck the Russians en- masse at Kra-,-
mix and routed them to Lublin.
Most Bloody Drive of War.
With two armies in difficulty, the
grand duke decided to abandon one
to. its fate and save the other. He
threw re-enforcements into Lublin
and ordered the line of the Gnila-
Lipa river be forced at any cost. In
one of the most bloody drives of the
war the Russians advanced into east
ern Galicia and occupied Lemberg.
The Russians then advanced to
Rawa Ruska and took the Austrian
armies in Poland in the rear, cutting
them up frightfully.
Meanwhile Won Hindenburg had
completed his victory over Samsonoff
by turning on Rennenkampf and clear
ing East Prussia Of Muscovites. But
though Rennenkampf had been de-
feated and Samsonoff almost ami
hilated, the Germans.
The Russians were now as far west
as Tarnow in Galicia, while their
Cossacks were able to make raids into
Hungary farther south. Hindenburg
concentrated great force suddenly
in Silesia and began a drive from the
west against Warsaw and Ivan
gorod. The Siberian corps arrived
in the nick Of time to save Warsaw
from the enemy.

was fought the desperate first battle
OF Ypres, when the Germans suffered
enormous losses in attempts to break
through the line in Flanders and reach
Calais. They succeeded in pushing
back the allies only little and the
invasion Of Silesia by the Cossacks
finally induced them to desist and
send re-enforcements to Russia.
The Germans in September had per
formed the feat of pushing a salient
into the French line south of Verdun,
which terminated on the west bank of
the Meuse river at st. Mihiel; while
the French had taken the offensive
with some success in Champagne at
about the same time.
For the most part throughout the
winter the fighting consisted of regu-
lar siege warfare, with heavy artillery
combats and mine and countermine.
The flooding of the River Aisne
from winter SHOWS gave the Germans
chance to entrap the French troops
on the north side Of that river in the
vicinity of scissors for considerable
distance and kill or capture most of
them (January 14).
Take Offensive in Spring.
With the spring, the French and
English attempted to take the offensive
at several points. Always preparing
the way with tens or hundreds of thou
Stands of shells, they tried joint after
joint of the German armor.
In the Vosges the dominating height
of Hartmannsweilerkopf was taken
and retaken several times in sanguin-
airy charges and finally remained in the
hands of the French.

subjected to tremendous French pres

FIGHTING ON THE SEA

At the end of the first year
of war not a German fighting
craft, except submarines, is
known to be at large outside
the Baltic sea. The Austrian
warships are confined to the up
per Adriatic and the Turkish
fleet to the Sea of Marmora
and adjacent straits. The mer-
chant marine of the central
European powers has disap-
peared utterly from the ocean
highways. Sixty million dol
lars worth of German shipping
lies idle in the docks of New
York, while several times as
much is bottled up elsewhere.
At the same time the German
submarines have inflicted enor-
nous losses OF allied shipping.
While both sides have prob
ably concealed many losses,
the following is a fairly accu-
date summary of the number

doubtful The British suffered enor

Begin Series of Attacks.

French now began a series of at
tacks on the upper side of this salient,
to the north of Arras. Expending hun
dreds of thousands of shells, they time
and again blasted away the barbed
wire entanglements and concrete
trenches, held by Crown Prince Rup-
precht of Bavaria's men, and then
charged across the desolate ground for
slight gains.
The fighting centered about the SUI
gar refinery of Souchez and the great
German work called the Labyrinth.
Fighting went on in cellars and tun-
nels below the earth and the casual
ties were heavy. The French bent the
German line and captured the LADY
rinth, but whether the gains justified
their sacrifice in human life is ques-
tionable.
In July, Crown Prince Frederick

gonne forest, west of Verdun, and
succeeded in gaining several hundred
yards of shattered woodland and cap
turing several thousand Frenchmen.
There were rumors that the Ger
mans were reinforcing for another

but the Teutonic campaign in the

crushing of the much weaker enemy

On the left the French had with

The garrison of Paris was put in
thousands of motor cars and hurled on
Won Kluck's flank. The latter was not
taken entirely unawares and met the
attack strongly, but at the same time
the army of General Foch attacked the
German army on Won Kluck's left and
