German Re-infOrcements

Despite the reverses which the Aus
tro-German armies have suffered in
the East, where the Russians have
now set their feet on German terri
tory both in East Prussia and Posen,
the Germans are said to be sending
endorsements to the West in an en-
deavor to break down the resistance
of the French, British and Belgians,
WHO have been holding their positions
and have in places made small but i'm
portant advances.
There has, however, as yet been no
decisive action fought along the whole
front, but each side is making gains,
which may count when the crisis is at
hand. With the tremendous forces OPP
posing each other, any progress must
necessarily be slow in these days of
siege battles, but both the Allies and
the Germans express satisfaction with
the way in which the battle has gone
thus far.
In the East the Russian advance
guards are now fighting on both the East
Prussian and Posen borders, and it Is
believed that the Germans have given
up their first plan of offering resistance
to the Russian advance on the positions
which they had prepared along the
Wharf.-The river.
According to the German report, the
Russians have suffered a reverse on the
East Prussian frontier, where they lost
1000 men and some machine guns, but
of the fighting elsewhere in this region.
Berlin says nothing.
! There have been no developments in
the Near East, the engagements fought
being between Russian and Turkish
frontier guards in the Caucasus or the
bombardment of ports.
The slackness in the recruiting in Eng
land has been given a FLIP by the
marches of some of the crack territorial
regiments and today's procession through
the streets of London in connection with
the inauguration of the Lord Mayor. In
which the Canadian and other Dominion
troops took part. From all sections of
the country come reports OF an increas-
ing number of young men offering them
selves for service.
