London, Nov. - Nowhere on the
eastern front are the Teutons on the
offensive. Along the whole line it is
the Russians who are attacking, in the
effort to drive the invader still further
from the line where he purposed "a
intrench for the winter.
In the north the Germans apparently
have abandoned any hope of reaching
Riga and Dvinsk. at least until the
ground freezes, and are falling back
or are being driven back from the
Dvina, which was their objective.
The Russians in the Riga region are
attempting an outflanking movement
and their recent successes have brought
them within striking distance Of the
Tukum- Mitau railway, which connects
the German fighting front with the
fortress of Windau.
The Germans are also falling back
before Dvinsk as the result of the Rus
STA offensive near Lake Swenton, while
in the south General lvanof has con-
tinued to harass the invaders by re-
peated thrusts which. during the past
five weeks, according 10 Petrograd dis
patches. have brought him nearly 13O,-
600 prisoners. In the most recent OF
these thrusts, near Rudka. the bag
totalled 5000, many OF whom were Ger
L.ans.
Russia is now suffering only for
want of rifles, and when she is prop
erly supplied, at least 100000 addi-
tional soldiers will be thrown into the
field, with results which only next
springs campaign can tell"
This is the opinion OF well known
American mining engineer, who has
Just returned TO London after spend
Ing six months in the Russian Empire.
"The people of Russia are enjoying
something in the nature of boom,
and the cost of living of the Russian
peasant. who does not require luxurles,
has not apprecably increased. The
Russian army is now well supplied
with heavy guns and munitions, and
the infantry is being supplied with
thousands Of machine guns
