Reversal of Roles of Con
tending Armies Now
Seems Presaged.
LLIES VIGOROUSLY
TAKING OFFENSIVE
lermany Appears to Be More or
Less Seriously M enaced By
Army of Russian Duke.
London, Nov. 9. (1 -.05 .p.
At three points in the
a of hostilities in'. Silesia,
East Prussia and in Alsace
!orces of the allies were on
rman soil today, and for the
;t time since1 the outbreak
hostilities, conditions seem
to presage in the opinion of
tish military observers, a
ersal of the roles of con
ling armies.
Jp to the present time Ger
ly has been fighting, gener
' speaking, in the territory
her enemy, , but now she
ild appear to be more or
i seriously menaced from
east by the victorious ar
s of Grand Duke Nicholas,
Eussian commander-in-;f
in the field, the advance
rds of which are less than
miles from Berlin; It is
e that there was a brief
ssian invasion of East Prus-
during the early stages of
i war, while the French have
a long time held their posi
a in Alsace; but the latest
,relopment in the Russian ad
i,ce, if the interpretation
ced on it in London' is not
wrong, is the most import-
t of the campaign up to the
:sent time. It is mere spec-
tion of course to say that
rmany may bo forced forth
lh to retire from Belgium or
m cease her offensive in this
na. ' '. ...
, Vigorous Offensive,
tn certain areas of France
1 Belgium the allies are tak-
a -vigorous offensive, but
is too early yet to predict
t Germany will not renew
smashing tactics in an ef
t to break through the line
1 that there will not be much
d fighting around Ypres.
a any event, German retire-
nt from Belgium probably
ild be very slow, as 'the
ees" of Emperor 'William
o made the entire country
ind their battle line one

even more carefully prepar-
than those they are still

dominates the military situa
tion today. The speed with
which she has cleared the in
vaders from Russian Poland
must necessarily have a great
effect on the campaigns m the
other war theater.
Already the inhabitants are
reported fleeing from their
prosperous Silesian homes, de
spite the fact that General von
Hindenburg's. strong army is
between them and the advanc
ing Russians. ' But something
besides the might of the Ger
man army may enable them to
remain still and Sot soiue Jtisj
in security for a significant
message from Petrograd that
announces that Russia may de
fer the invasion of Germany
until her historic mission to
ward the Bosphorus is accom
plished.
Turns Toward South.
This mission includes the
complete subjection of Austro-
Hungary as well as the invas.
ion of Turkey, and if this is the
actual plan of the Grand Duke
JNicnoias, tne Kussian commander-in-chief,
the Russians
may be content to hold their I
present positions along the
German border while making
an aggressive war toward the
south and east.
Crucial Week.
Persistent reports continue
to reach London that the Ger
mans are sending heavy rein
forcements to their western
lines. News of a contrary na
ture, to the effect that the Ger
mans are preparing to retreat
through Belgium, also is rife,
but the experts seem to place
more credence in the reports of
reinforcements and the coming
week is looked, forward to as
one of the most crucial of the
war.
Cossack Raids.
Cossack raids across the
German' border continue, and
Berlin now admits that the
Russians are well beyond the
river Warthe. The Russian ad
vance has been made over bad
roads at the amazing rate of
14 miles daily, and the German
retreat has now passed Czern
stochowa "without stopping.
The Russian line is well back
of the Warthe between Czern
Btochowa and Kalinz.
Active at Ypres.
Another Tetrograd report
states that Czcrnstoehowa is

ered one of the most brilliant, schol
arly and forceful charges heard In

given close attention by the members
of the jury and the large -number of
DeoDle in the court room, many, 01
whom stood throughout the hour and
twenty' minutes It took to deliver the
charge. ,
Judge Cline touched on local con
ditions here when he referred to the
investigations that wee maoe by 'the
last grand Jury into the alleged mis
conduct of certain magistrates in the
city and the reports of alleged Inhu
man treatment of convicts in camp
No. 3. under Captain Grady Ander

T. E. Wilson was sworn In as offi
cer for the grand Jury.
Judge CUne's charge in part Is as
follows:
Judge Cline said he has been In
Buncombe county almost continuous
ly since July 13. last, the present term
being the eighth week of continuous
court The large civil docket Is due",
tho court Bald, to the fact that Ashe
vllle has a large number of varied In
dustries and the large number of crim
inal cases are due to the fact Ashe-
vllle Is a cosmopolitan city and has a
large floating population and he be
lieves that the- permanent cltlsuiia of
the city and county are not largely to
blame for the large number of crim
inal cases.
He took occasion to commend the
juries he has had In the courts here,
as ha stated under the present system
of sending the Judges to different sec
tions of the state, that this would be
the last time he would ever have (he
opportunity of addressing a grand Jury
In Bunoombe county. Judge Cline
said he had always found the mem
bers of the different grand mries pa
triotic. Impartial and ever willing to
do their duty as they saw It He fully
believes, ha stated, that ths present
Jury would measure up to the respon
slbllltles upon them, as ths other Ju
rles have done.
He told the Juries thai ihey c-UKht
lo "catch ths wsrmth of the llro that

and Iny aside he restless endnavor to

He stated that he believes this is
the time of 'ell to do something for
others, "In this day when the lust of

Berlin, Oct. 20. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-They still
eat wheat bread in Berlin. Amuse
ments proceed with little sign of
abatement Few posters to call men to
arms are lnevidence and there are
many able-bodied men on the street
in civilian , clothes. These conditions
In striking contrast to the situation
in neutral Holland, where all people
are compelled . to eat bread that has
a 75 per cent admixture of rye and
where almost all walls are covered
with official announcements relating
to mobilization, and the regulation of
prices were sources of wonderment to
a correspondent ot the Associated
Press who has Just arrived from con
stant scenes of war and its aftermath.
That Germany Is at war could not
be gleaned from street impressions
though a person might speculate on
the causes that have led to two condi
tions. Everywhere one sees large pho
tographs of the emperor, the German
crown prince and Generals von Hln
denburg, von Beseler and other mili
tary notables exhibited. The second
condition ip the poor state , of the
iHHejr -wbAdr do i . tht -hauling. In th?
city;;" All good horses 'have been re
quisitioned for military purposes.
There are surprisingly few soldiers
to be seen in the streets of the Ger
man capital." .
Business in Berlin Is normal as far
as can be ascertained, shortly after
mobilization some of the large amuse
ment places, concert halls and. vaude
ville houses closed up. Many of them
have been re-opened with the coming
of the winter season, The cafes are
crowded to capacity.
"We must win," is the slogan of
everybody la Berlin. To make this
possible everybody accepts resignedly
While the armv has the hard work in
the battle line the women, Including
the empress and the ladles of her
court, knit socks, wristlets, gloves,
sweaters, abdominal bands and even
calf "warmers."
There Is so little excitement In the
capital that even the war bulletins of
the newspapers get but half the at
tention they do elsewhere. .

state coaches of the lord mayor and
other civic dignitaries, the parade to
day showed little color. The men
were clad soberly In khakt and there
was none of the' brilliant display
which usually distinguishes the pro
