Also Report Invaders Preparing to Retreat Through Belgium. London, 9:55 a. m.—Russia domi nates the military situation today.

Invasion of Turkey. This mission Includes the complete subjection of Austro-Hungary as well as the invasion of Turkey. If this is the actual plans of Grand Duke Ni cholas. the Russian oommander-ln chief, the Russians may be content to hold their present positions along the German border while making an ag gressive war toward the south and east. Diferent Reports. Persistent reports continue to reach London that the Germans are sending heavy reinforcements to their western lines. N«‘ws of a contrary nature, to the effect that the Germans are pre paring to retreat through Belgium also Is rife but the experts seem to place imore credence in the reports of rein forcements and the coming week is looked forward to as one of the most crucial of the war.

Paris, 7 a. m.—The lull in the fight ing in the environs of Dixmude and Ypres, in the best opinion here, is only the prelude of a further effort to which all the forces that the Germans can raise will be concentrated. The last attack, made with 12 army corps failed. The next, it is expected will be made by even more. All Indications. All advices from the front indicate this clearly. The report that the Germans are gathering an important army at Inglemunster, the affirma tion that the battle against France must be decided at an early date, the orders given to the German generals to break through before the end of the month and the various movement of troops observed by aviators in Bel gium, all tend to show the purpose of the Germans. Of First Importance. All of the military writers agree that the effort will be of the first im portance to the Germans. If unsuc cessful, it is contended here, it will be the last the Germans will be able to make as they will then recognize the necessity of falling back on a line a little more to the rear which will, as is their custom, have been forti fied in advance with the greatest pos sible care. Most Intense. They will therefore strain every nerve and sinew in this battle of Ypres and the fighting is likely to be of a character even more intense than any thing that has gone before. If the allies successfully resist the new on slaught. in the opinion of the military writers, the day when France will be freed of the invaders will be brought sensibly nearer. With Russ Progress. The fortunes of the war in the west are becoming more and more bound up with the progress of the Russians, according to the general opinion here. If the latter succeed in making a se rious threat in Silesia within a short time the Germans, it is anticipated, will have to withdraw troops from their western front and this will en able the allies to advance more quick ly. There is apparently no abatement of the feeling of optimism reigning in both the French army and among the French people. ANARCHIST FIGHT WITH N. T. COPS Free for All Melee in Street Ends With Reserves Being Called Out. Leaders in the Lock-up. New York. —Alexander Berkman and Becky Edelson led twenty anarchists Into a police station early today to protest against the arrest a short time previously of four of their number, Helen Goldblatt, known as "Helen of Troy,” her sister, Lillian, William Sha toff and Abraham Blecker The four were arrested after a free-for-all fight on the street between a hand of an archists and five policemen.
