ODDS AGAINST GERMANY Rule of Contending Armies Now Re- j versed, and Germany Instead of I Fighting on Enemies' Soil Finds Menace from Three Sides. At all three points in the urea of hostilities?in Silesia, in East Prussia and in Alsace?the allied forces were on German soil last Monday, and f, for the first time sine*# the outbreak of the war conditions&seomed to pre- j sage, in the opinion British military observers, a reversal of the rules of the contending armies. U'p to this time Germany, generally sneaking, has been fighting in the territory of her enemies, hut now she would appear to be more or less seriously menaced from the cast by the victorious armies of Grand Duke Nichj olas, the Russian commander-in-chief in the field, the advance guards of which were less than 200 miles from Berlin. It is true that there was a brief Russian invasion of East Prussia during the early stages of the war while the French have for a long time held their position in Alsace; but the latest development in the Russian advance. if the interpretation placed on it in London is not all wrong, is tho most important of the campaign up to the present time. It is mere speculation, of course, to say that Germany mav hr> f<W'l>rn\ ('rvl.t ^ .V..V1 vi ivi iiivvkii 111 rcurc from Belgium or even rouse hoi* offensive in this arena. In certain areas of F ranee and Belgium the allies are taking a vigorous offensive, but it is too early yet to predict that flt-rmany will not renew her smashing tactics in an effort to break through the line and that there will not he much hard fighting around Ypres.

Russia dominated the military situ at ion tne first of this week. The speed with which she cleared the invaders from Russian Poland must necessarily have a great effect on the campaigns in the other war theatres. Already the inhabitants are reported fleeing from their prosperous Silesian homes despite the fact that General Von Hindenberg's strong army is between them and the advancing Russians. A message from Petrograd announces that Russia may defer the invasion of Germany until her historic mission toward the Bosphorus is accomplished. This mission includes the complete subjection of Austro-Hungary as well as the invasion of Turkey. If this is the actual plan of Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian commander-in-chief, the Russians may bo content to hold their present positions along the German border while making an aggresj sive war toward the south and east. Persistent reports continued to reach London that the Germans are sending | heavy reinforcements to their western lines. News of a contrary nature, to the effect that the Germans are pre- j paring to retreat through Belgium, al-! so rife, but the experts seem to place! , more credence in the reports of reinforcements and the coming week is' I looked forward to as one of the most j crucial of the war. The latest" Paris oflicial communiea ilion states that the invaders are eon-! ; centrating their activity about Ypres without as yet achieving1 any result.; The allies are reported as holding*j their own everywhere on the Alsne; ; while to the northwest of Soissonsl I -Annual m Eating riuest of many friends we will continn > weather is cod.

Private reports reaching ?Berne, Switz., from Constantinople indicate that Turkey has entered the war with at\ empty treasure. She has exhausted the German loan and used up the money derived from the tax on imports. The Knocker's Prayer. Lord please don't let this town grow I've been here for thirty years, ami during that time I've fought every public improvement. I've knocked everything and everybody, no firm or individual has established a business here without my doing all I could to put them out of business. I've lied about them, and would have stolen from them if I had the courage. I have done all I could to keep the town from growing and never have spoken a good word for it. I've knock ed hard and often. I've put ashes on the children's slide and I've made the marshall stop the boys playing ball on my vacant lot. Whenever I saw anyone prospering or enjoying themselves I've started a reform to kill the business or spoil the fun. J don't want the young folks to stay in this town and I will do all 1 can by law, rule and ordinance to drive them away It pains me, O Lord, to see that in spite of my knocking it is beginning to grow. Some day I fear 1 will be called upon to put down sidewalks in front of my property and who knows but what 1 may have to help keep up the streets that run by my premises? This, Lord, would be more than I could bear. It would cost me money, though all I have was made right here in this town . Then, too, more people might come if the town begins to govv. which would cause me to lose some of my pull. I ask therefore, to keep this town at a standstill, that 1 may continue to he the chief.
