on the allies left.
II. however, the Russians win a great
victory in the east it will compel the
Germans to divert some of their west
ern armies in that direction, and the
flank movement will become crushing
attacks, which win crumple up the de-
pleted German lines. On the other
hand, If the Russians are the victims OF
a severe reverse, some of the veteran
corps will be released for service in
the west and the Germans may pierce

TO optimism regarding the nature OF
the revelations.
The French ministry Of war;. in ex-
planning the necessity for the ofhcial
cOnmunications being laconic, states
that It is useless to be moro explicit If
the battles in the valleys Of the Aisne
and the Somme are not finished. The
authorities know that the conflict will
be tedious and prolonged before a de-
cisive result is obtained.
Even the small relief accorded by the
news Of the great activity In tha east;
sent out yesterday, has ceased today
and the iron inclosure of the censor
ship has extended to the region where.
throughout the war, news OF the mill
tary operations have been more acces-
sible than in any other theater OF the
warfare.
Victory for one side or the other
along the Russian frontier Is Of gu
preme importance, and tho tremendous
battle impending there may mark the
climax of the war.

Of the French and English in the great

Till now all the combats fought on the

gressive movement. He cites the fact
that Napoleon Bonaparte at Marengo
had to retreat three times in the face
Of the Austriana. which did not pre-
vent him from finding there one of his
most brilliant Victories, as well as one
of the most profitable.
The familiarity of the French with
the territory is frequently Of consider
able advantage to them. The marshes
of st. Gond, near the Petit Norm river,
are perfectly solid in the dry season,
and the Germans here had made ali
preparations for an important surprise
attack. The night before this was to
occur a heavy rain made the swamp q
regular lake and turned the position to
the disadvantage Of the Germans. This
French merely stuck to their positions.
and while the enemy was in distress
in the soggy ground annihilated large
numbers with their artillery fire. The
digging of false trenches and all kinda
of efforts which will rebound to advan-
tage are being resorted to by one side
or the other.

When he came to the Sox, Larry

he had a perfect abb in one of the

This spring he reported to Kid

leading parts on attack, but their
combined work was of no avail
