KNEW OF HUE YEARS OF
- WORLD WIDE WARFAU ••
DARK YEAR FOR ALLIES
Opening With Magnificent Promiae

d •
With No Hof>e smiled—Allied
Outlook la Getting Brighter After
Period of Eclipae.
The third year of the world war
closes with the fortunes of conflict
favoring the Entente, except for un
certainty as to the outcome of the
Russian situation.
The Central Powers sustained mo-
raentods setbacks, both militaft' and
political, during the twelve months.
Meanwhile new enemy powers, no
tably the United States, have been
drawn in by the Central Empires
and progress toward the achievement
of tjie utimate aim of the Entente
and its Allies has been furthered by
political disturbance which will re
main memorable in the history of
all times. '
Chief among these are the fall
of two crowned heads—Nicholas of
Russia and Constantine of Greece.

In April ths British tranfsrred
thsir offsnslvu northesst of Arras,
forcing von Hlndenberg to rudlstiih-
ute his forces along n 15 mile front.
Canadians played a historic partjn
this fighting. Moncy-le-Prsux was
taken; and Vimy Ridge was captured
after one of the world's bloodiest
battles. Canadians held the ridge
against desperate counter attacks.
This success east of Arras turned
Hlndenberg’s northern pivot, and
British critics regarded it as the
greatest in the history of British
arms in the present war. This offen
sive, continued, placed the British
astride the Hindenbdrg line, and the
Germans retired to positions a mile
or two west of the Drocourt-Queant
line. These they held as the third
year closed.
Meanwhile the battles of Cham
paign and the Aisne had been carried
on by the French, who in April cap
tured Auberive. In the first days of
Champaign offensive, one of the
greatest ‘struggles of the war, the
Germans sustained an estimated loss
of 100,000 killed, wounded and taken
prisoners through their desperate de
fensive operations. Fighting in these
regions continues after three months
during which the French have ad
vanced along a 50-mile front. The
present French line runs from north
west of Soissons. through Rhelms to
Auberive.
In June. 1917, the British began
an attack on Messines and Wysrhacta
in an effort to straighten out the
Ypres salient. Again British flyers
dominated the air. The British had
spent an entire year mining the earth
for this offensive, which was begun
with an explosion so terrific that it

for the steady maintenance of an rm-

strongly here tonight.
Many of the men chosen may never
see a trench under fire. It is hoped
and believed that the first full-weight
blow of the United States will be
enough. But the war chiefs are not
going in as if it were a one-blow
fight. Two statements of the last

roughly he divided into six phases—
two in the latter part of 1916 before
winter called a halt, and four after
the Entente defensive war resumed
in the early spring.
At the close of the second year
the Germans were still unwilling to
concede failure in the operations cen
tered on Verdun. After August 3,
1916, the French gained the ascen
dancy. culminating in the retaking
of Douai, Thiaumont and Fort Vaux,
with thousands of prisoners and
many guns. By November the French
had once more come into possession
of the complete Circle of the Verdun
defenses.
The second phase dates back to
the commencement of the Franco-
British offensive—the first battle of
the Somme—in July of 1916. By
mid-September this had reached such
proportions that the Germans were
credited with bringing up seven new
divisions-against the British and five -
against the French. It whs estimated
that 38 German divisions, or, based
on the strength of those Germatf un
its at that period,, about 760,000
men, opposed the British and French
on this twenty-mile front. In this
battle the British air supremacy be
came dominant... By November the

Russians surrendered many prison

provisional government introduced a

-Very Boon.
Japan soon will he a potent fnetor
In the war on the Russian front.
This was Indicated In official Japa
nese diplomatic circles here today.
Japan, long maintaining a “watchful
waiting" attitude, has decided to
throw her power In the balance. Al
ready, it is believed, Japanese traB!>s
are on their way to Russia to folp
Kerensky in strengthening the Gallc-
an defenses.
W«ek» ago it was indicated in the
nlernational News Service dispatch
es that Japan would take & promi
nent part in the war, but pledges of
secrecy we^e exacted frojn all who
knew’ pf them. The fact that the
plans contemplated sending troops to
tussia and that the ban of secrecy
ias now been lifted, indicates to En
tente diplomats that the troops prob
ably are already on Russian soil.
Japan has been doing her “bit"
'or months by sending munitions to
Russia, but the constant stream of
shells and guns went unnoticed by'
the public because the few.who knew
were pledged to secrecy. The large
Imports of gold from the United Sta
tes to Japan which caused much
comment here several months ago,
and resulted in various evasive ans
wers from the treasury department,
are explained by the huge amounts
of material bought by the Japanese
and later turned Into munitions for
the Rueslans. Japan had.a huge
trade balance with the United States
and she was using It up. Now the
purchaeee have exceeded the balanc
es. and aatomntlcally the gold ship
ments have dropped off.

The Russian reverses on the Gal

ed as secondary in Petrograd td the
great all-Russian conference which
opened at Moscok on Tuesday, ac
cording to advices reaching here.
The outcome of this congress at
which every class and race In the
new republic will be represented,
lolds decisions of the utmost impor
tance, not alone to Russia, but to all
the allies.
One thing Is certain. Premier
Kerensky will he the dominating fig
ure of the conference and Kerensky
is the man on whom all hopes of
“pulling Russia through" now are
pinned. He la the “new Napoelon"

have the smaUest power. Germany
never had stated her alms because
she knew she would be found out
directly she put her peace terms
down in black and white.
