ALLIES' BATTLE LINE STILL ADVANCING

EMMY'S HUGE LOSSES " HIGH SEA RAIDERS .THE CRUISER HUNT IN THE ■ PACIFIC ' ■ , PENDING, NAVAL BATTLE ."■' ■JAPANESE AND GERMAN ' ' / WARSHIPS ■ • Owing, it is, suggested in a Sydney message, to terrific ,storms a now raging, there is a scarcity of war news to-day. Official messages from Paris indicate that right along the whole battle front, from the . .Vosges to the Belgian coast near Nieuport, the 'Allies are making Bteady progress, repelling attacks,' recapturing positions Vpreviously . .vacated, and advancing to new positions; Amsterdam^newspapers, report a procession of transport trains running eastward through Brussels and Louvain to Germany, and' carrying infantry, cavalry, and , guns. A message from a New York correspondent suggests that the German fleet in the decent naval engagement , off Valparaiso did not escape the return shots of the British cruisers, and that only a part of the' story has been told. A message from Tokio reports that the, Japanese Admiralty has been informed that a battle is pending between Japanese and German Fleets in some portion lof the Pacifio Ocean. Tho British Fleet in the. Eastern. Mediterranean, is cruising along the Armenian coast-line, and has already shelled a " Turkish land force near Smyrna. The German-Turkish battle-oruiser Goeben with her consorts has returned to the Porte. With the Russian. armies in the Eastern theatre, satisfactory progress continues to be made. The vigorous measures adopted by the South African Government to crush the rebellion have resulted in the capture of 850 rebels, with all carts and wagons; the rebels in other partß of the Transvaal are said to be dispirited. The condition of recruitingfor the Army appears to be caußing N some dissatisfaction in England, and the London "Times" discusses the fluctuating statistics' of the Army Eeoruiting Department in their relation to the fluctuating fortunes of war,'' and suggests that, more detailed and picturesque reports from the theatres of the war would act as a strong stimulus to the movement.
