There has been very little change in
the military and naval situation in the
last twenty-four hours. While the
Russians continue their progress
against the Germans in north Poland.
they are, according to their official
report, pursuing and capturing many
of the retreating Austrians in eastern
Galicia and are repulsing with heavy
losses persistent day and night at
lacks of the German allies in the Car
pathians. They have not by any
means yet disposed of any of the
forces opposed to them.
Fighting in DaFdanelles.
II is the same with the allied fleet
IN the Dardanelles. In their bonn
bardment the warships have made
greater progress than was anticipat-
ed but they still have the most strong
~ fortified parts of the straits to get
through.
Along the western front the French
are continuing their attacks in Cham
payne and the Argonne, but beyond
these the only movement of any con-
sequence has been made north of Ar
ras, where the Germans succeeded in
capturing newly constructed
French trench.
Centers of Interest.
The battles in the east and for pos
session Of the Dardanelles are creat-
ing much interest, as they are Consid-
cred TO have a very marked bearing
on the future of the war. Having
pressed the Germans back from
Przasynsz towards MlaWa, the Rus
SLAMS are now eXerting their efforts.

with success, to drive them back in
the district further north from west
or koVno to west Of Grodno and at
the same time from in front of Lon
Eau. These movements, if successful,
might naturally be expected TO force
the Germans to withdraw from i'm
front of Ossowetz, which fortress they
continue tC lombard with their heavy
guns.
Austrian Attacks Continue.
The Austrians continue their fierce
attacks under Instantaneous CON
ditions owing to the snow and cold.
against the Russian entertainments i'm
the Carpdthians while another of their
armies confronted with strong Rus
sian reinforcements, is falling back in
eastern Galcia.
Relays of battleships keep mp an al
most continuous bombardment
against The Dardanelles forts. They
nave cleared the outer straits and are
now attacking the forests which line
the narrows and which are considered
the most difficult to deal with.
The destruction Of what the British
admiralty calls fort No. 9 was a nee
essary operation before the operations
could move further into the straits
as il was this fort which was designed
to protect one of the mine depots Of
the Dardaneles. II was built at the
waters edge on the European side
opposite Cape Kephez.
Important Operation.
Most important still is the work be-
ing carried out by the French ships
in bomharding from the sea the Sa-
ros-Bulalr line Of forts which stretches
across the peninsula of Gallipoli at a
point where 1t is only three miles
wide So long as the guns of the
Warships command this neck, land
communications between the forts on
the European side of the straits and
Constantinople are cut off.
One of the most welcome effects OF
the COMMANDMENT so far as England
is concerned. is the reduction i'm the
price of wheat which sold today in
the Bristol market at from IS to So
shillings a quarter as compared with
SO shillings and over less than a fort

Labor Disputes Settled.
Employers and workmen between
whom differences have arisen owing
to the increased cost Of living and
the demand of the workmen for high
err wages, are quickly finding a means
for settling their disputes. All the
Clyde engineers have returned to
work under promise that their de-
mands will be referred to arbitration
