Weather Hampers Movement
Either bitter winter weather has re-
tarded the central powers in their pro-
posed new enterprise against the
Franco British troops in the Strumitsa
region or the rapidly developing Rus
sian menace from the direction of
Rumania has caused them to abandon
it. In any event their connection has
recently come to a standstill.
Other fronts during the last forty
eight hours have shown generally re-
vived activity. Sir John French, COM
mander-in- chief of the British forces
in France and Belgium, reports sue
cessful British air attacks on German
positions along the Belgian coast and
on other parts of the German western
front. involving destruction of Ger
man submarine off the Belgian coast
and raids on an aerodrome and an
ammunition factory behind the Ger
man lines. French troops fighting in
the Souchez district succeeded in driv-
ing the Germans from a crater made
by successful mine explosion re-
corded in the German communication
of Saturday.
British Retreat
The varying fortunes which have
attended General Townshend's Meso-
potamian expedition have not yet been
recorded here in sufficient detail to
make the situation clear. From the
latest official statement it does not ap-
pear that there has been any further
fighting since the British advance upon
the battlefield of Ctesiphon, but the
British troops have again fallen back
TO the Tigris, having been outnum-
bered by the Turks, and are now occu-
pying more easily defended positions
in the rear of their former line.
On the North Poland front, after
crushing German attacks, the Rus
slams have succeeded in making local
gains in the neighborhood of Illoukst,
occupying an eastern suburb of the
town and advancing to the German
trenches south of this point.
