effected the judicious work of repla-
cling, at the right time and point,
tired divisions of fresh ones until their
recuperation.
Time and other conditions seem to
be against the probability of East In
dian troops having been engaged in
action at Tremonde, 20 miles south
west of Antwerp as reported from
London. Such appearance of Hindu
forces is, to say the least, somewhat
premature, as was the announcement
of the ArchangeI re-enforcements, I'M
less corresponding arrangements had
been made some time before the dec
laration of war.
Allies in Strong Compact.
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 Russian 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"
Situation in East GaIicia.
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 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 not appear as the only and
striking example of beaten power in
this conflict admitting its reverses at
once and without subterfuge. The
same Berlin report mentions the Aus
TRANS still continuing their attack on
Lubin and also speaks of the forma-
ton of an exclusively Polish legion
ski.
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 line of operation against
Warsaw, with the additional object
of stopping direct Russian advance
on Posen
ltaly's Position.
The reduction of Italian troops, mob
ilized on the Austrian frontier, to
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.
