that great battle is being fought
along an undulating line between
Meaux and Verdun.
The explanation of the German sue
cesses on French territory contained
in London dispatch, which attrib-
uted them to relay work, is plausible
in view of the continuous stream of
re-enforcements of men and war ma
terial which has followed in the wake
of the advancing forces.
Agree to Stand Together.
Russia, France and Great Britain
have signed an agreement that none
Of the three would make peace with
out the consent Of all three nations.
Following is the text of the protocol:
The British, French and Russion gov
ernments mutually engage not to con-
clude peace separately during the
present war. The three governments
agree that when the terms Of peace
come to be discussed, no one of the
allies will demand conditions of peace
without the previous agreement of
each of the other allies
Minimize Austrian Defeats.
Time and other conditions seem to
be against the probability of East In
dian troops having been engaged in
action at Termonde, 20 miles south
west of Antwerp, as reported from
London. Such appearance of Hindu
ic fn 40 yHo%
premature, as was the announcement
OF the Archangel re-enforcements, I'M
less corresponding arrangements had
been made some time before the dec
larations of war.
According to Berlin dispatches the
Austrian defeat in eastern Galicia is
not quite of the terrifying character
reported from Russian sources. 1t
looks, though. as if that defeat had
been a thorough disaster. albeit the
extravagant claims of Petrograd
should be taken "cum grano Sails"
The Vienna confirmation of the Lem
berg defeat, coming by way of Rome,
would now appear as the only ard
striking example OF beaten power in
this conflict admitting it's reverses at
once and without subterfuge. The,
same Berlin report mentions the Aus
TRANS still continuing their attack on
Lub1fn and also speaks of the forma-
ton of an exclusively Polish legion
at Cracow under General Won Vaczyn-

Germans In Russia,
The advance of the Germans by ar
mored trains into Russia in the direc-
ton of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS would
indicate either that the Russian at
tack on Thorn, reported some days
ago, was incorrect or that it has now
been checked. A pursuit of German
invasion in this direction would mean
an attempt to use the Vistula river
valley as a line of operations against
Warsaw, with the additional object
of stopping direct Russian advance
on Posen.
The reduction of Italian troops, mob
ilized on the Austrian frontier, to a
peace footing may be regarded as an
indication that the government of Vic
tor Emmanuel is determined to OBJ
serve strictly the situation to a CON
siderable extent, especially in view Of
the fact that the threatened war
action Of Turkey has subsidized for the
moment. The latter fact may also
momentarily dispel British fears in
regard to Egypt, where the close re-
lationship of the khedive with the
royal house OF Turkey and his we'll
known German sympathies have
caused apprehension.
Joffre's Plans Going Well.
An announcement issued by the Of
fetal French bureau said:
General Joffre's plans are being
steadily carried out. The allied forces,
acting on the offensive, have been sue
cessful in checking and forcing back
in a northeast direction the German
