FIGHTING IN SCORE OF
OTHER REGIONS

In a score of regions there has
been fighting which would have held
worldwide attention were it not for
the mighty battle lines in France and
Poland
Servia's own war was a greater trial
to her than either of the two proceed
ing Balkan struggles. Assisted by
Montenegro, the little Slavic nation
twice threw the hosts of Franz Josef
beyond her borders and inflicted
losses of about 100000 men, but she
suffered severely herself.
The Austrians invaded Serbia in
great force about August Is and pene-
trated to the Jadar river. where
great fveday battle ended in the
rout of the Teutons
The Austrians returned soon in
stronger force than ever. They
reached Valjevo, where on November

guns reached the Serbians. and on
December 5 they turned on the Aus

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 counter-mine.
The flooding of the River Aisne
from winter SHOWS gave the Germans
a chance to entrap the French troops
on the north side OF that river in the

FIRST YEAR or WAR
IN THE EAST

The first twelvemonth OF fighting
between the Russians on one side and
the Austrians and Germans On
the other is a story of great chan ses
OF fortune, both combatants being re-
peatedly driven back only to show
the greatest rosiliency in defeat and
soon to resume the offensive in most
Surprising manner.
The end of the year. however, finds
the pendulum swinging strongly
against the czar. He may recover
and take again the roads to Cracow,
Vienna and Berlin, but just at pres
ent he is on the whole in worse plight
than in any hour since the war
started.
Russia's losses in the first year of
the war are not approached by those
of any nation in any war of history.
According to reliable estimates, she
has had between $500 900 and 4,000,-
900 men killed, injured and captured.
Despite these horrible gaps made in
her ranks, she still has millions In
the field, and her great reservoir of
personnel does not show signs OF ex-
haustion. 1t is not men she lacks, but
guns, shells and brains.
Slow to Mobilize.
On August 1, 1914. Germany de-
clared war on Russia. Almost imme-
diately the Germans crossed the from
tier at Thorn and the Austrians south
of Lublin. They were practically un-
opposed because of the slowness of
mobilization In Russia. The Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch was
forced to gather his main armies well
to the rear of the line of great fort
resses running through Kovno, Grod-
no. Ossowetz. Noyo Georgievsk, War
saw and Ivangorod.

he could to relieve the French. who

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
feet 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
OF craft which have been de-
stroyed:

sooner than he otherwise would have
done. AS a result, he met two disas-
ters.
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

With two armies in difficulty. the
grand duke decided to abandon one

war the Russians advanced into east
ern Gaicia and occupied Lemberg.

FIRST YEAR OF WAR
IN THE WEST

The first month and a half OF the
western campaign was made up OF
startling, swift moves. On September
IL, after the defeat on the Marne, the
Germans took up defensive positions
along the Aisne river. The ten and
half months since then have seen a
long deadlock
The battle line OF the Aisne and the
Disc quickly extended northeast to the
sea. Fighting has been continuous,
with tremendous losses. The general
situation has remained unchanged,
gains OF a few miles for one side at
one point Offset by minor gains for
the enemy In other sectors,
