Reports Disagree on
Russian Army Situa-
ton: Is Il Impotent!
Germany Still Pursuing Russians,
Japan May Become Factor in q
the Dardanelles Fighting.

Germany is still chasing the Rus
slams towards Petrograd, according
to the latest information. This is ad-
mitted by Petrograd authorities, al
though there is a difference between
the two reports concerning the effect
OF the German invasion.
From German sources it is learned
that the Russians have been practi-
cally rendered negligible as a factor
in the war, their vast armies having
been driven in confusion with no
prospects of recuperation within the
near future, whereas Russian reports
indicate that the army is still intact,
the losses having been but nominal
during the great retreat from ;Galicia.
German Objective ~.
Posen, Sept. 1.--Politics and not
military strategy may decide the OBJ
jectiye of the next German offensive
The Russian armies are apparently
in hopeful position in the Pripet
swamps and the Ebjleswiec forests
and are ready to fall.
Victory Not at Petrograd.
Shall it be Petrograd or Odessa?
Petrograd which is already being
evacuated in view Of the expected
fall of Riga, would be the center of
the worlds attention of the German
armies marching toward it, hut even
its capture would hardly bring the
Russians to their knees.
Attack Odessa; Save Turks.
To attack Odessa would mean the
establishing of a German line to the
Black sea around the Balkan states;
it would also establish connections
with Turkey, end the doubt about the
Dardanelles and make progress there
by the allies impossible
The next possibility is real Of
fensiye against Italy. So far the
.Austrians have only held a defensive
position and have suffered small
losses. 5 4
On the west front the biggest OBJ
jective is Calais, but the eastern war
zones have gradually assumed great
er Importance. Here the German and
Austrian forces are POUNDING way

Japan May Participate.

Paris, Sept. What appears to
be an intimation that Japan may CO.
operate in the campaign to force the
Dardanelles is contained in an inter-
view with Baron Hayashi, japanese
ambassador to Italy, sent to the Petit
Paris zen by its Rome correspondent.
Must Keep Movements Secret.
81 cannot say much about that" the
baron is quoted as saying in reply to
a question regarding the Dardanelles,
"forI we must not allow our enemies
to profit by information about the
