Review of War Situation.

, London, Sept 30, 12:42 p. m. The

great struggle on the western front

has now resolved itself clearly into a

battle 'for Lens, in Pas do Calais,

nine miles northeast of Arras The

IK capture of this town, with its. radi-

1 atlng railways, "vouic oring into the

foreground the possibility of retaking

French on Hill No. 140, the high crest

iff t Prelude to Coming Events.

i ; The offensive ot the allies thus tar

5 baB been confined to stretches of the

K ' front amounting to less than thirty

fK : niHes in all. The general belief in

Jy England is that these attacks are only

tZ the prelude to what is coming. At

v2 . a&y rate, the public would be dlsap

S ' Pointed if the movement were not sus-

. talned.

' There is the usual speculation as

ft' lo c shifting of German forces from

HI .the east to the west, although any-

Hi

thing like reliable information is lack

ing. As against the report that some

Prussian Guards have been hurried

west, there arc rumors that Field

Marshal von Ilindenburg, still bent

on taking Dvinsk, has been reinforc

ed heavily. Moreover, the Austri

ans, judging from their new successes

in the south, apparently have received

fresh troops.

British Near Bagdad.

T-he victory of the Brltli$trTDve"the

Turks In Mesopotamia brings General

Sir John Nixon's men within 150

miles of Bagdad. The news came

unheralded to London, as the fighting

in that quarter had "been almost for

gotten. Whether the British will try

to push on to Bagdad Is problematic

al, but the consensus of opinion hero

is that the resistance of the Turks

in this region has been crushed. Some

sections of the British press see In

this victory the addition of another

British colony.

"Whatever Is done with the Turks

elsewhere," says the Pall Mall Ga

zette, "they can never be allowed to

resume tlieir bloodstained way in the

French Push for Railway.

In this district the French are push

ing for the strategic railway lino just

behind the German front and, accord

ing to their claims, must now be very

close to it Airmen have bombarded

various stations along this line.

Important supporting works to the

south of Ripont in this section also

were taken, Paris asserts, completing

the conquest of the first German de

fense line.

The only resistance of the Germans

in the Artois district, where the Brit

ish and French are pushing their lines

toward Lens with the eventual taking

of the important city of Lille appar

ently in view, was an extremely heavy

bombardment of the new allied posi

tions east ot Souchez, Paris reports.

Six German Zeppelins were sighted

today northeast of Brussels bound in

a westerly direction. Their route

would take them eventually to the

English Channel, flanked by Dover

and Calais.

Petrograd, Sept. 30, 11:30 a. m., via

London, 1:55 p. in. Territorial gains

of considerable extent by the Rus

sians are indicated by the latest in

formation received at the war office.

The Germans have been puHhed back

twenty-five miles from the terminal

station at Glubokol, on the Svlont-syanvo-GIubokol

railway, to a point

midway to the Vilna-Dvlnsk railway.

West and south of Molodechno the

Germans have been forced back eight

miles across the Lida-Molodechno rail

way. At no pnrt of the northern lines

have German gains been announced

although battles of great Intensity are

being fought on the eighty-mllo front

from Kozlenya, on the DIastila river

to Krlvo. , '.ii

The Germans have concentrated

strong forces along this line, Includ

ing considerable bodies of troops

drawn from the Prlpet region.

South of the Prlpet the Germans

have won a local success at Clarto

risk, twenty miles west of the railway

junction at Sarny. They appear to

havo gained control of the Styr to a

point south of Lutsk.

A strong effort also Is being made

by the Germans in the region of

Nowo Alexiniec, fifteen miles north

of Tarnopol. The Russian authorities

believe this movement represents an

attempt to reach the great highway

between Kremenetz and Ostrog. Fur

ther south of the Stripa, west of Tarn

opol, the Russians have had the best

of the fighting.
