Nov. 9 At three points In the area of hostilities in Silesia. In East Prussia and In Alsace forces of the allies were on German soli today, and for the first time since the out break of hostilities conditions seemed ' to presage, in tne opinion of British military observers, a reversal of the roles of the contending armies. Up to the present time Germany has been fighting In the territory of her enemies, but now she would appear to be more or less seriously menaced from the east by the victorious Russian armies, the advance guards of which are less than 200 miles from Berlin. Rnsslan Gains Important. It Is true that there was a brief Rus sian invasion of East Prussia during the early stages of the war, while the French have for a long time held their position in Alsace; but the latest de velopment In the Russian advance.

"The men who have come forward must remember that they are enduring for their country's sake Just as their comrades are in the shell-torn trenches. The introduction of elaborate destruc tive machinery with which our enemies had so amply and carefully supplied themselves has been the subject of much eulogy on the part of the mill tary critics, but it must be remembered that In the matter of preparation, thos who fix beforehand the date of a war have a considerable advantage over their neighbors. "Our losses in the trenches have been severe, but such casualties are far from deterring the British nation from seeing the matter through." General and Men Praised.
