 The statement adds that the new measures will be enforced "so long as there is no certainty that Austrian subjects in England are being accorded better treatment." Foreigners who are interned, it was stated. will be well treated.
 Hitherto the English in Vienna nave been allowed comparative freedom only being required to report to the police every Monday providing they made no attempt to leave the city or send oul letters Die Zeit asserts that last Mon day Britishers were given permission even to leave the city but that none availed themselves of the opportunity Some 500 now remain in the city

THE WAR AT A GLANCE

Interest in the great European struggle remains in the eastern theatre, where three big battles are being fought. The activity in Belgium and France has les sened largely because of bad weather and the inundation of a considerable area along the Yser in West Flanders.
 Poland is the scene of two contests in the east and the third is being fought in East Prussia. The combat in the coun- try between the Vistua and Warta river
 is attracting the most attention. It is believed the Germans have massed there at least half a million men in an endeavor to break through the Russian line. The location of the battlefield and other con- ditions favor decisive conflict. In this partial success
 The second battle in Poland is being fought on the acow-Czenstochowa line and both sides claim they are satisfied with the progress made.
 The Russian advance in East Prussia is moving slowly through the region about the Mazurian lakes. In this district the Germans have massed strong forces. The Russians are moving westward in Galicia and claim numerous successes, among which are the capture of Wisnica, Cor lice, Dukla and Ujok.
 The only serious fighting now taking place on the allies left in the western battle-ground appears to be south of Ypres, where a violent artillery duel Is pro- gressing. In the Argonne region the Ger mans have made vigorous attacks which, according to the French, have been re- pulsed.
