FAILUIS OF GERMAN . COIMTEE-STROKE VAN. INDWEKffS" DESPERATE • GROWING UNEASINESS IN ' ' BERLIN ''CRUISER HUNT IN' THE EUMOUBS OF THE GERMAN. . ENEMY'S DESTROYERS OFF ■; THE SEINE The centre of interest'in the great European war is still the Polish! arena, where the failure of General von Hindenberg's desperate attempt to break the Russian centre and deliver an overwhelming blow at Warsaw ie becoming increasingly certain and mote calamitous to Germany. The leports to-day review von Hindenberg's plan, describe, the launching of his Napoleonic attack—which partly succeeded—the ■ separation of the constituent armies, and the subsequent desperate plight' of throe army corps, cut , off from their ' supports. Meanwhile public ' uneasiness in Berlin, is increasing, while from the border provinces of East Prussia, Posen. and Silesia there is flowing towards t the big inland cities a terrifying stream of panic-stricken, starved, and destitute fugitives. The situation in tho Franco-Bolgian theatre is practically the same, and there is evidence that the German disasters in the Eastern theatre have caueed a depletion in the ranks of the armies in Belgium and France. From the high seas there are various Teports. the most arresting being the appearance of German, destroyers off the estuary of the Seine, coincident with disaster to two steamers: there are also vague rumours of the German cruiser squadron which is playing hide-an3-seek Iwith the warships of four "nations in the Pacific.
