BOTH iSIDES CLAIMING VICTORIES
And Heanwhile the German Advance To
ward Paris Continues
This the fourth week in the conflict of all Europe
now raging on the eastern and western frontier f of
Germany and of Austria has been one in which the
matter of keeping up with the trend of events has been
most difficult.
The Germans have continued their advance to
ward the French capital pressing forward slowly but
with great steadiness. Twice it appears they have out
flanked their opponents, the French and British, and
compelled them to fall'back
. fl
Mitary expdrtfe have appeared
inclined to the opinion that the
German were bound to reach
Paris1 sjieedily in order to meet
the invading hostfc of Russians
on her eastern frontier. But
there are Higs now which in
dilcata that Germany has dtfer
mined upon dividing her forces
and keeping up simultaneous
battle to the Kiudward and to
the westward, one of aggress
ion in the westward, and onie
of defence to the Eastward.
Tlie confutsion which has cloud
1 rei torts of engagements with
the Rurisiians wan lifted on Wexl
nefiday by tlie annoumceiuent
that in battle with the invad
ing hosts the Germans bad been
victorious while the Austrian
liad suffered severe defeat. In
eaat Pruspa the Germans claim
that thev defeated the Russians

the interior. How seriously mis continual advance
of the Germans is regarded by English and French is
altogether uncertain. The falling back of theallies
may be only a part of a pre-arranged plan. But the
dispirited tone which has prevailed during the past
week in dispatches fram London and Parisjs regard
ed as evidence that the Germans have been harder to
check'than the allies anticipated.
