ADVANCING EAST
 AFRICAN BATTLE LINE
More Radical Changes There Than In
 the European Countries.
(Special to The Bulletin


 Washington, D. C., Sept. 15.-"During the past month the battle front in German East Africa has changed mor e radically than in any other theater of the world war. The British troops have been pushing the German colon ial and native troops southward over an extent of territory which if car ried forward in the same degree east ward from Nerdun would bring the allies to within 100 miles of the gates of Berlin. If the Italians were to ad- vance as far north from the Isonzo front as British troops have advanced southward from Muanza on Lake Vic toria, Nyanza, Vienna would be in the hands of General Cardona. If the Russians could have effected such a Westward drive during the same per iod they would have been in posses sion of Warsaw, Cracow, Danzig and Konigsberg today. By such compari- sons only can the reader of daily war despatches realize the extent of the territory over which the European forces in East Africa are t1ghting,' , according to the war geography bull letin issued today by the National Geographic Society in Washington.
 Tn the latter part of July General Shuts, commanding the British troops, was reported to be attacking the German forces along line ex- tending from the port of Tango, oppo- Site lnS 1SldAu OI lO INOIOE we, some fifty miles inland on the railroad line extending into the Usambara province. Another British force was operating around Muanza. By the middle of August the British forces have reached Kilimatinde, an import ant town on the German Central Rail- way, running from the seaport Dar- es-Salaam, capital of German East Africa. to Ujiji, on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, 700 miles dis tant. It is nearly 300 mics inl an air line from Kilimatinde to Tanga and almost as far to Muanza. The ad- vance along the coast has been for a distance of 80 miles, from Tanga to Sadani, d seaport of lesser import ance situated almost due west of Zan- zibar, capital of the island of that name.
 Tn their advance toward Sadani from Tanga the British captured the important port of Pangani, at the mouth of the Pangani river. Next in line on the southern advance along the coast is the town of >Bagamoyo, having a population of 1s,0oO many
