EASTERN CAMPAIGN.

Russian forces, under the active COM
mand Of Emperor Nicholas. are show
ing more determined opposition to the
Germanic invading hosts than at any
time since the recapture Of Przemysl
by the enemy. Although 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the Germans have
weakened their line at some points in
order to send reinforcements to the
western arena, where the allied men
ace has been great, and still other troops
to the Balkan arena, the success Of the
Russian armies generally is attributed
to the increased supply Of munitions.
The shortage ten weeks ago was woe
full. Today. reports declare. the Rus
SLAMS have a plentiful supply. Much OF
this has been furnished by Japan, while
the rest has come from the Russian al
lies and the nations own munitton
plants, which have been greatly en-
larged, both in number. and capacity.
Germans Are Checked.
The one big fact stands out. however.
If dispatches. official and otherwise,
may be given credence. and that is the
Germans have been checked to great
extent in their northern advances in
terrible fighting, have been forced back
in the central sections. while the Aus
TRANS are declared to have fallen back
more than forty miles on the extreme
southern end of the eastern line. Meth
er Germany nor Austria have laid
claims to important successes In the
east for some time.

great proportion of her Serbian army
from the eastern front and the western

young and older classes which have yet
to receive their baptism of fire in the
present war have been pressed into
service. Germany consequently will not
be able to use any considerable portion
Of this great force on either the eastern
or western fronts. Should the allies
send an equal force, or one-half as

this, too, will weaken their offensive

will make red with their own blood

conclusion that the war Is entering
upon a new phase vital one for the
strugglers.

Another Smashing Drive by
French and British Seems
Imminent.
RUSSIANS ARE BATTLING
WITH GREATER EFFECT
Events Of Past Week, in Relation to
Possible Future Happenings,
Are Reviewed.
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

Viewed in an international light the
great European maelstrom is now en-
tering upon a new phase. Events of
the past week in the various arenas
of war and in countries which have
for some time been on the verge of
throwing their military forces into the
conflict have brought the new condi-
tions about. Chief among these is the
open defiance of Bulgaria to the ulti-
matums of the entente nations which
practically throws that country with the
central powers, Germany and Austria
Hungary. and which brings about a con-
dition in the Balkan countries frought
with danger to the allies. Just at time
when the active support of Greece was
counted upon by the allies and they in
turn felt safe In presenting Their final de-
mands to the Sofia government, Pre-
chief friend at Athens, resigned with
his cabinet. That the moral effect of
this alone was a severe setback for

Previous to the great offensive move
ment which brought cheer to the hearts
of all soldiers who had monotonously
been fighting for months in the
trenches and eager to move forward, 1t
was intimated by officers and carried
on by their men that the next offensive
would be "to the DEATH" in other words
the allies would not be content until
they had completely defeated the Ger
mans in the west and driven them from
Belgium and northern France or had

The lighting Of the past week has

western campaign since the deadlock

Bulgaria Wants Macedonia.

The attack from Strumnitza Is moro

of Bulgaria Is to regain possession OF
Macedonia. lost in the second balkan

ton Is bound to suffer at the hands Of

the war will open with q general Bull
