 OF WAR TIDE SOON
First Anniversary of Sanguinary War Is Near at Hand: Con- quered Territory Will Be An- neXed to Dominion Lands.

LONDON, July 9. - The complete surrender Of the German forces in German Southwest Africa, the French successes in the Vosges, where they made an advance of seven hundred yards on a front of six hundred and captured 500 Germans. and the splen- did stand of the Russians in Southern Poland, give the British military crit ics subject for comment on what they term the turn of the tide" of the war which is approaching its first anni- versary.
 Botha's victory with the Germans cut off from the rest Of the world, was a foregone conclusion The fact that he won after five months warfare de- spite rebellion in his own country, and under many natural disadvantages is considered by military observers to have been a remarkable achievement. To gain a victory Botha's forces had to march through blisteriug heat and almost waterless country in which the few wells had been poisoned and where sand storms made it necessary that the soldiers wear gaggles. With rapid sweeping strokes. Botha worked around the Germans who were forced to surrender. or suffer annihilation. This prevented them from breaking mp into parties and waging guerilla warfare
 It is expected this territory of some 5000 square miles, will be annexed to the Dominion of South Africa In parts of this country, particularly about Luederita Bay, there are yalu- able diamond mines. BOtha is send ing his citizen army home and will commence immediately the organiza- ton of a contingent to assist Europe.
 The announcement from Austrian and German officials that there is no change in the situation is taken to mean that the Germanic armies have not recovered from the defeat which the Russians inflicted north of Kras- nix. where the Austrians are operat- ing in conjunction with General Von Mackeuzen.
 It is uncertain whether Grand Duke Nicholas, commander of the Russians, intends to make a final stand on the present line or fall back to the River Bug, which might involve the evacua- tion of Warsaw Military men say this doubtless depends on his supplies of munitions which are reaching him through Archangei and which the Ger man submarines are trying to cut off.
 A submarine today sunk the Hull steamer Guido. bound for a Russian port but she was only loaded with coal A submarine also sunk the Rus sian bark Anna, which was also bound for Archangel, Hull
 Severe fighting continued at several points on the western front The British report the repulse of all Ger man counter attacks that were made in an effort to regain lost trenches north of Ypres and stated that the British gain had been extended and that the German losses were severe.
 On Che other hand the Germans claim repulse of the French attacks at Souchez and assert the Teutonic troops made further progress in the Woevre region, where they state they captured some trenches and 25O pri- soners. The French victory in the Vosges appears to be the most i'm portant which has occurred on the eastern front in some months.
 The Turks continued their attacks on GallipoH peninsula and regained some trenches, according to German correspondents They made their ap pearance in the vicinity of Alden, the British free port in Southwest Arabia where British troops and warships arC said Co be ready.
