War Summary
The supreme efforts of tho
f-rrrhting men of five nations have
failed to turn the tide of battle
along the Franco-Belgian border.
Latest reports yesterday were
that a struggle of unparalleled
fury was still in progress along
the North Sea. where the tier
mans with reckless bravery are
flinging their troops against the
allies' forces. The French official
statement Indicates an attempt to
cut off the tierman right wing las
made some progress. If, a said,
the allies have establlshe a front
from Ypres to Roulers, the t!er
mnn Hue has been thrust bark In
n sharp angle, the point of which
Is considerably to the northward
of their force on the shore of the
North Sea.
German and Austrian forces, it
U said, have nown strong wall of
troops along a well established
line which stretches from the
northern" spurs of the Carpath
ians before the long disputed
fortress of Prremvsl and on Into
the district of Plock. Before this
line Is arrayed the main army of
the nnsstsns, now said to have
bsen reinforced by troops from
the Caucasus. Siberia and Turk
estan. The Austrians claim suc
cesses In eugivgenienls to the
northeast of Prsemysl and on the
lower San.
Latest dispatches from Petro
grad say thst the Germans are
continuing their precipitate re
treat and have evacuated Lodi, In
Poland. An attempt by the Ger
mans to check the Kunalan ad
vsnce, It Is said, was unsucewts
ful. No word had coine yesterday
afternoon of the fighting at
Tslng-Tati, where a small German
garrison Is attempting to stand
oft attacks by land and sea from
the combined Japanese and Brit
ish forces. Recent report that
relations between China and
Japan were being strained were
stengthened by word from Pekln
that the Chlneria foreign minister
bad demanded the surrender of a
Japanese torpedo boat which en
tered Chinese watera and at
tempted to tow away the wreck of
the torpedo boat beached by- tho
Germans to escape destruction by
the Japanese.
