have been more pronounced but for
their interiority in artillery.
AS a strict military event, great inn
portance is attached 10 the victory by
military circles, where il is pointed
out that the Germans had collected a
force of Prussian guards and Austrian
brigades, strengthened both light and
heavy artillery, on a 26-rlile front for
the undoubted purpose Of breaking
through into the rich grain provinces Of
Southwestern Russia. WIN inferior
forces the Russians were ahle 70 de-

preparations that had heen made TO

The fact that the Russians could not
follow up the victory al Tarnopol was
due entirely to the superiority Of the
Teutonic artillery, il is declared. There
is no lack Of war stores. according 10
war Office officials. and the Russian
supply of shrapnel is sufficient, but the
army was unable 10 take the offensive
against the heavy guns Of the Ger

The situation in the north has shown

Bushire, a city Of upwards Of 5000 pop

Aug. S, according to advices received by

Conditions in Persia are going from
bad to worse. the advices add. The Per
sian Central Telegraph line has been cut
since Aug. Is. and the road from Bushire
is completely blocked. The general ar
mics, it is declared, are unpaid and dis
satisfied and fighting is reported among
the tribes outside Of kashan. between
Teheran and Ispahan. Since the attack
on the British consul at Ispahan last
month a critical situation has arisen. ac-
cording to the advices, and steps to be
taken in connection with it are the sub
jet Of discussion among the Entente

Second Attempt

The French, both in ther midnight
report and again this Afternoon, admit
that the Germans have gained a par
tial success. but declare that in most
instances they were thrown back with
heavy losses. This is the second effort
Of the German Emperor's heir to win
a victory in this region within the last
three months, and, although on each
occasion he gained a small amount of
ground, he is apparently as far from
his objective this time as on the pre-
vious occasion. Fighting was in pro-
gress all yesterday and throughout the
night and was still going on when the
last report was issued.
Reply to Artillery
This, doubtless, is the German reply
70 the artillery commandment which
the allies kept up for Is days. but which
now seems to be dying down without
any infantry attacks following it. as
had been anticipated. Instead, except
for heavy gun action south of Arras
bomb throwing seems to have taken its
place
On Eastern Front
Along the eastern front things are
moving more slowly again after the
Russian offensive in the southeast, in
which they claimed a substantial VIC
tory had helped to liven matters up.
From the Gulf Of Riga to Olita. south
Of kovno. the Germans state, the sit
uation is unchanged while their center
from that point to and beyond the Pro-
pet marshes continues to advance.
Thence to the Rumanian frontier. the
Russians are still the aggressors: they
are endeavoring TO prevent the inva-
sion Of Bessara hia.
on the whole the Russians appear,
with fresh supplies Of ammunition, TO
be making a better stand. They are
aided, doubtless, by the rains which
are turning the roads, especially in
the region Of the Pripet and its affiu-
ent, into Quagmires.
The only news from the DardaneIles
come from Turkish sources which re-
port an artillery action in which the
allies ships took part
