Former German Consul Sentenced to Death in England
War Notes

Berlin (yia wireless to Londonl,
Dec. "a review of the situation in
Doth theaters of the war up to the
END or last week reveals little change
as compared with the preceding week.
This is especially true as regards the
western theater, where the allies made
number of attacks which always
were defeated. &
That decisive action may be ex-
pected any day is indicated by re-
port from headquarters saying that
everything is proceeding according to
our program" This is taken here to
mean that thus far the German opera
tionS have been successful.
Much encouragement has been de-
rived here from the recent Russian re-
ports, which are considered much less
confident in tone than formerly. If an
investment of Warsaw should result
from the present operations, military
men say it will deprive Russia of a
most important center of railway com @.

serious position.
