UNOFFICIAL REPORTS
OF GERMAN UNREST
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Dec. 1.-THE weekend
finds the war situation in the east and
west outwardly comparatively quiet.
Some observers are ready to predict
the operations virtually will remain
at standstill until after the holi-
days. Nevertheless, there is much
food for speculation. This is particu-
larry true in the eastern front, now
stretching virtually across two CONT
nents, from North Russia to South
Persia.
In the extreme north unofficial re-
ports say the new German thrust be-
tween Riga and Dvinsk already has
begun, but there is no confirmation.
Five hundred miles south the Rus
slams believe they alone checked an
other enemy attempt to resume the
offensive in Galicia.
In the Balkans it is not likely the
situation long will remain quiet with
over two million men under arms OF
the various nations. The Bulgarians
and Germans are promised new an.
noyance on the tanks by the Italian
operations through Albania and thu
