 London-Two salient points emerge from the latest news of the great war.
 The first and most striking is what is described as the silent victory This applies to the fact that the North sea, over which almost absolute silence has brooded so long, is now open to shipping without serious danger Steamship service from Denmark to London and from New Castle to Nor way is being resumed, while steamship services between the Hook of Holland and Harwich have suffered no inter- ruption,
 These facts, in the opinion Of author ties here, imply that the German fleet for the tim. being is held safely in check
 The second point is that the French have been obliged to evacuate Muel- has.en and occupy new positions out side the town.
 According to German reports, this was the first important battle of the campaign, and the French, who had 5000 men. suffered a serious check
 In Belgium the position shows little change. A great battle is expected somewhere on the line between Thion- vile ard Liege between the Germans the French and the Belgians. It is thought probable it will occur within a few days.
 The Germans have occupied Ton sres and are reported to have captured railway station "A mikes from Liege. Outpost affairs of no great importance are reported at numerous frontier points of the many nations engaged in the war, but, except in Belgium, no great battle is likely for some time to come, as the respective armies are still engaged behind these covering actions in the work of concentration on the frontiers.
 In the political sphere there are two Interesting items. According to the Cologne Gazette, Roumania has joined the Triple Alliance and will invade Servia.
 It is reported from Cettinje that the Seryian and Montenegrin armies nave effected a junction at Pleylje tTashlija), 157 miles from Novipizar, where they are awaiting the result of the revolutionary campaigns in Bos- hia' which they hope will facilitate their occupation of that country.
