FRONTIER FIGHTING CONTINUES SEVERE TODAY
What is regarded as the chief developement today in the European war sit
uation is the steady advance of the Russian forces, who have as their objective
Berlin, the capital of Germany. The Russians are sweeping Germans before them,
capturing large supplies without trouble. Germans are concentrating today at
Osterode for a desperate stand against the Russians.
Numerous dispatches show thatthe Germans continue to advance into French
territory. A town 125 miles from Paris has been captured. Paris is being pre
pared for a siege, supplies of all kinds being rushed into the city. Antwerp is
supposed to be besieged, as London has received reports of all means of commu
nication being blocked. ,
Just what has happened at Namur is merely a matter for speculation.
