Teutonic Moves in Recent
Days Reveal Difficulties
Facing the Kaiser.
EXTENDED WITHDRAWALS
OF LINES NOT EXPECTED
Might Lead to Demands for Peace
Owing to Temperament Of
Teuton Peoples.
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

New moves are being made on Eu-
ropes great military chessboard. Each
day sees the forces of the entente
slowly but surely making progress In
practically every direction, even though
the cost may be great. Germany con-
tinues to wage a defensive brand of
warfare as she has since the great
Somme offensive began, but at no time
has the critical position Of the central
powers been so manifestly made plain
as during the past week. In this period
Germany's own actions have revealed
the severe straits to which she is put in
meeting an enemy which would press
the conflict onto Teutonic soil. there
of peace.
Two events particularly have indicated
Teutonic uncertainty, if the German
rent happenings. Possibly the most
important of these is the demonstra-
tion of the fact that no longer can
the kaiser move his men from one
arena of war to another with i'm
punity. No longer can the German
general staff fout the power Of the
enemy In any particular arena and then
transfer great masses of troops to an
other region. there to attempt strik-
Ing successes. Germany it would seem,
must keep the bulk of available forces
at their present stations, else the Teu-
tons stand in danger of being pushed
back and back until the German hope
OF victory fades as the mirage This
fact Is brought out forcibly by the
attempted moving Of great bodies of
men to the eastern arena to strike
heavy blows against the Russians. 1t
Is the belief of the German chief of
STAN. Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
tnat the war undoubtedly will be de-
aded in the regions of the east and not
IN the west, he personally being per-
Iectiy willing to surrender a great
amount OF territory in the western re-
sions II victory may be gained through
the medium of tremendous blows
against the Russians and other
enemies to the east. Immediately fol-
lowing the announcement of his plans
troops were sent on their way toward
tne most vulnerable sections of the
russian front. They did not arrive
me french and British gained so much
GROUND and brought such menace to
ene whole German scheme of things in
france that it was absolutely incum-
pent upon Won Hindenburg to halt these
eastward-b bound forces and again brine
snem Into play along the battle lines
of the Somme.

H..
ties in the two days fighting at this
point are declared to have been pro-
digious.
Early in the week the Germans di-
rected heavy attacks in the Cham
pagne in the sec
Tou+one cfr;Lo ~. tor between Sou
:, ain and. Somme-
the Champagne. Py, where the
Russians are holding down the line. but
notwithstanding their efforts. with the
purported object of cutting through
and reaching the Paris-Verdun rail-
road, thereby isolating all the southern
French armies, they were forced to fall
back It now is declared by entente
military critics that this move evident
ly was made as a shield to the with
drawal of an army of 10000 from the
Aisne front for operations along the
Somme.
The Germans also delivered heavy at
tacks against the British between Mar
tinpuich and Flers, but these evident
ly were of weak character, for the
forces in this region were driven back
by the British at will later in the week
time to move up in this section.
Notwithstanding their great sue
cesses at other points the British and
French still have been unable to dis
lodge the 8 Germans from Combles.
Peronne or Chaulnes. The 'reutons
have heavily fortified these positions.
and it is believed that the French ana
British generals are content to pro-
gress between these points in order that
all may be thrown in pockets from
which they eventually must retreat II
they are not forced to surrender in
great bodies.
Although the Germans made small
gain on the slopes OF famous Dead
Man hill the French successes on the
yerdun front are declared to be of some
Importance, they having overrun Ger
man trenches for several hundred
yards near Thiaumont and Vaux. In
the yosges the Germans have delivered
attacks, but these also have beer re-
pulsed, according to official advices from
Paris.
