always outnumbered. Russia was
ready for war long before her mobilt
cation was complete. The armies
hurled across the Galician frontier
were enormous. 1t is estimated that
the force which moved against Lem
berg and attacked the Austrian
armies that invaded Russian Poland
numbered at least 10000 men.
The Russians pursued the Germans
tactics of utilizing their entire force
in attacks, but with the lesson OF
their last war in mind, the Russian
movements are reported to have been
very open.

Government.
Stormy Scenes Predicted.
The known losses are enormous,
and It is believed they have been
far greater than the Government will
admit. SO strong and bitter Is the
feeling that 1t is mot believed the
Government can hold out much longer
against it. Unless Austria sues for
peace in the near future 1t will be
very hard for the Government to pre-
vent stormy scenes not alone in Wen

DEVELOPMENTS OF THE WAR.

IL
London.-A careful analysis OF all
the late dispatches from countries
concerned in the great European war
brings out the following salient
facts:
FRANCE. - The War Office an
nounces that the Germans are still
~retreating after heavy losses and
that the British troops have crossed
the Marine in a northerly direction.
Gen. French reports the capture Of
an entire battery Of German field
artillery and $50 prisoners. From
Paris comes the announcement that
the Allies are forcing the enemy
back at every point along the line.
French forces are reported TO be
r~eoccupying Upper Alsace, the Ger
mans having withdrawn their
troops there to REINFORCE their
centre and right. A despatch from
Nancy that the Germans
have evacuated Luneville and that
German troops have been with
drawn from the territory eastward
of Belfort. The German line, ac'
cordlng to the last reports, has been
driven back thirty-seven miles.
notwithstanding to a despatch
from Vienna, Austria was plunged
into gloom when official admission
was made that the operations
against the Russians had cost the
Austrians one-fourth Of the first line
of effective fighting men. The total
loss in killed, wounded and miss
ing is reported at $4,000 men. For
the first time 1t became known that
the operations In Galicia and Rus
sian Poland had been under the
personal direction Of the Archduke
Francis Frederick. The hospitals,
hotels and public buildings OF
Vienna are filled with wounded,
who are arriving in great numbers
in special trains from Poland and
Galicia.
RUSSIA. The latest development
along the Russian frontier is that
the Austrians have begun the
evacuation OF Cracow. 1t Is also
reported that Przemysl is being be.
sieged by a heavy Russian force,

Of Germans sixty miles northeast
Of Paris, the first and second dlvi-
slons OF the British army, assisted
by a French cavalry, scored a COM
plete victory.
Unofficial dispatches telling OF
the battle state that the British cap
tured 5000 prisoners and fifteen
guns. Although greatly outnumber'
ed they completely routed the Ger
mans. Officers report the forces OF
the Kaiser utterly demoralized. The
prisoners taken were half starved

A party Of British cyclists surpris-
ed a detachment Of German cavalry
In a wood and wiped out $50. The
losses Of the attacking cyclists were
severe, but nothing to compare with
those Of the Germans.
On both the left and right wings
the Allies are pressing forward n
drlvlnq back the Germans, while In
the centre west Of the dangerous
angle in the line at verdun the
French are holding fast against the
furious onslaught Of the Germans,
who have concentrated a great
force TO pierce the French lines and
split the army in two. On the ex-
IRENE right the French have pushed
eastward into upper Alsace and re-
occupied Muelhausen, the scene OF
one Of their first victories and later
Of a great repulse.
The German war machine is not
moving so smoothly. Its lines OF
communication are threatened In
Belgium. The Russians are advane-
ING toward Berlin and Vienna, with
fresh troops continuously pouring
to the front of their armies, the
BeIgians have assumed the often
