Serviaa owe war was a greater trial to her than either of the two precedAssisted by ing Balkan struggles. Montenegro, the little Slavic nation twice threw the hosts of Franz Josef beyond her borders and inflicted losses of about 330,000 men, but she suffered severely herself. The Austrians invaded Serbia in great force about August 15 and penetrated to the Jadar river, where a battle ended in the tfreat five-darout of the Teutons. The Austrians returned soon in stronger force than ever. They reached Valjevo, where on November 17 the Serbians met a defeat. With their supply of artillery ammunition exhausted, the Serbians now had to retreat. The Austrians, believing them crushed, withdrew six for corps army against the victorious Russians in Galicia. Shells and English tars with naval guns reached the Serbians, and on December 5 they turned on the Austrians and cut them to pieces. The entry of Turkey into the war was marked by a brave, but foolhardy attempt to invade Egypt. Great Britain's Indian and colonial troops threw the invaders back with heavy losses. British and Japanese troops invested the fortified German port of Tsing-tau- , China, and after a siege of a few weeks the defenders gave up the hopeless struggle. A section of the Boer population of South Africa revolted. The revolt was put down by a Boer, Premier Botha. He then invaded German Southwest Africa, and after a long deserts campaign in .the waterless captuied the greatly outnumbered Germans (July 8). s After taking of a year to arm herself to the teeth, Italy attacked Austria this spring. The affect of the entry of Italy upon the arena ka not been marked. y three-quarter- yt The Germans again have peaelratrd aa close which marks the "high tide of lost sulomn. France by the amazing German rush through Belgium, Nicholas attacked sooner than he otherwise would have done. As a result, he met two disas- ters. He sent General Samsonoff into East Prussia from the south and General Rennenkampf into East Prussia from the east, the latter winning the first large engagement of the war in the East at Gumbinen. At this moment the Germans, believing that the French were well in hand and about to be surrounded on their eastern frontier, quickly withdrew 250,000 men from France and hurled them by rail into East Prussia, where they fell upon Samsonoff with crushing force in the great German victory of Tannenberg (Aug. 28). Meanwhile, the Austrians, leaving only a few troops in Galicia to hold back the Russians advancing from Tarnopol on the line of the Gnila-Lipstruck the Russians en masse at Kras-niand routed them to Lublin. Moat Bloody Drive of War. With two armies in difficulty, the grand duke decided to abandon one to its fate and save the other. He into Lublin threw and ordered the line of the Gnila-Lip- a river be forced at any cost. In one of the most bloody drives of the war the Russians advanced into eastern Galicia and occupied Lemberg. . The Russians then advanced to Rawa Ruska and took the Austrian armies in Poland in the rear, cutting them up frightfully. Meanwhile Von Hindenburg had completed his victory over Samsonoff by turning on Rennenkampf and clearing East Prussia of Muscovites. But though Rennenkampf had been defeated and Samsonoff almost annihilated, the Germans. The Russians were now as far west as Tarnow in Galicia, while their Cossacks were able to make raids into Hungary farther south. Hindenburg concentrated a great force suddenly in Silesia and began a drive from the west against Warsaw and The Siberian corps arrived in the nick of time to save Warsaw from the enemy. High Tide of Russian Invasion. Hindenburg then drew off the northern section of his army in Poland to a, k Ivan-goro- to overwhelming victory there. Enormous captures of Russians were made and the fortress of Gradno was attacked farther west, from Ossowetz to Pultusk. The Germans retreated to Mlawa and then tried to flank the Russians ,at Przasnysz, which city they took. But the Russians again flanked the flanking party, as they had done at Lodz and won an important success (February In March and April, the Russians pressed through the western Carpathian passes and entered Hungary. Just when their future seemed brightest, the Germans broke the Russian line in West Galicia and let through enormous forces. Pressing westward irresistibly, they took the Russian Carpathian armies in the rear. The latter tried to retreat, but vast numbers were captured. Przemysl, which had succumbed to the Russian besiegers March 22, fell again into the hands of the Austro-German. Great German Maneuver. From Przemysl Von Mackensen drove east through Mosciska and Grodek and captured Lemberg, the Then he turned Galician capital. north and marched upon the Warsaw-Ivangoro-- Brest - Litovsk triangle from the south. At the same time the Russians in southern Galicia, putting up a desperate resistance, were driven by Von Linsingen first to the line of the Dniester and then across the Gnila-Lipto the line of thq Zlota-Lipa- . Reaching the vicinity of Krasnik In their drive to Warsaw from the south, the Austrians sustained a severe check in the scene of their triumph of the previous summer. Held on this line the Germans attacked hotly from the north and took the town of Przasnysz (July 14). The Germans now began the grand est maneuver ever seen in the history of human warfare. From the Windau river in the Baltic provinces all the way along the border of East Prussia and in a gigantic sweep through the vicinity of west of the Vistula, and a line south of the Lublin-Cholrailway they delivered smashing blows and have reached the very gates of d a Ra-do- Jmmm ekwXM 0rrfc4afc mt twirls Sraarla Garaaaar Aasal lUMl. 3timrmm tmrrmm rale X Sari, Itrwik ! brraut at Slaa4 mmmmmmrmm aial aBas( war alik l.naiaer, Mr. I Tirar U4 waikn kRrliUk IrwW 4aa.l kraar aa Urlslse-kaa- l -- toe I (.

On the left the French had withdrawn to below Paris and the westernmost German army, under Von Kluck, followed. The garrison of Parts was put in thousands of motor cars and hurled on Von Kluck's flank. The latter was not taken entirely unawares and met the attack strongly, but at the same time the army of General Foch attacked the German army on Von Klucks left and drove it back. Driven Back From Pari. The Germans had begun the battle with five armies in line. The withdrawal of the two farthest west the retreat of the third, fourth and fifth in that order, each in turn finding its flank exposed by the withdrawal of the troops on its right. At the same time the movement on the east end of the German line was accelerated by a strong attack from the French fortified zone of Verdun. The German retreat was as orderly as that of the French and English had been.

On the part of the French there was largely the desire to linjc up with the Belgians, now being attacked In Antwerp. The mighty siege guns of the Germans made short work of the Belgian seaport, however, and it fell on October 9. The remnants of the Belgian army retreated along the sea coast and the Germans in a final rush reached Ostend (October 15). Line Extended to the Sea. The battle line of the Aisne was now extended to the sea, the Germans holding the important French city of Lille, while the allies kept Ypres in Belgium and, partly by flooding the lowlands, held the position of the Yser river and canal.
