gonne and the Meuse.
The French claim slight progress
an indication that they are making
heavy attacks to compel the Germans
to withdraw from ST. Mihiei.
The French also report that they
captured a number of prisoners yes
terday, bat do not say where this cap
ture was effected. Both sides profess
to be well satisfied with the position,
which must, however, prove very
wearing on the troops. Naturally
fresh troops are being brought up
continually, but it is dangerous for
either side to withdraw many men
from the fighting line, even to give
them a short respite.
The allies, as Is known to all the
world, are expecting achievements OF
we'll trained troops from India, but
when they are due is not disclosed.
They may arrive in time to turn the
balance in favor of their side.
Having invested PrZemysl the Rus
slams are reported to be making their
way, not only through the Carpathlans
to sweep across the plain in north
Hungary, but, in strenSth( toward
Cracow, which they should reach be-
fore the week is out. Their arrival at
Cracoyy would be the signal for a bat
tie along the Russian German IRON
tier.
The Germans are in force at Cracow,
where the Austrians would form their
extreme right, and they have consio-
erably reinforced their front exteno-
ing north of that fortress through ka-
lisz. Russian Poland, to Thorn, IN the
province of West Prussia.
Further north, they have crossed
from east Prussia and have got as
far as the river Niemen. where they
arc reported tic have suffered a re-
verso. TIL two armies, however, are
in close touch right across the coun-
try. so that hattie along this extend
ed front cannot be long delayed.
OF the operations around Sarajevo,
nothing has been heard today, but the
Seryians and Moritenegrins must soon
be ready for a grand assault on that
city, which, beyond all others, the
Servians would like to occupy.
The Austrians are also being at
tackled at Cattaro, where, in addition
to land operations by the Montene-
grins the French and English fleets
are making an effort to reduce the
fortress.
There is more talk of Italy, Rou-
mania and Turkey becoming involved
in the war, but for the moment, Italy
is being held back by the government.
Turkey, it is believed, would like to
take a hand, in the hope of recover
ing some of the territory she lost in
the Balkan wars, but if she does,
Greece would be in arms against her,
while this would be also the signal
for Roumania to come in.
The German cruiser Emden has
again been busy in East Indian wa
