ONDON, September 3. -- Fierce
IL fighting in two regions Of the
eastern front in which success Is
claimed by the Russians is reported in
dispatches here this morning.
On the whole the situation as it has
developed in the last twenty -four hours
looks more favorable for the Russians
and indicates that the drive of the
Germans is nearly spent, or already
checked. 49,
Car Goes To Front
Coupled with the report that Car
Nicholas has gone to the front to direct
in person the campaign, IL is declared
the Russians are catching up on their
supply of ammunition and that the au-
tumn floods are beginning, and have
already "checked the German drive. y
The floods have been counted on to
hinder the German invasion and give
the Russians time to reorganize their
forces.
The presence of the Car at the front
is believed here to presage an often
sive on the part of the Russians, and
the report of renewed ammunition
supplies is considered as lending cred
ence to the belief. 81
