1t was reported the first of the week that
Germany would remain on the defensive on
the western battle line and concentrate hex
forces to defeat the Russians in the east Re-
ports as to what has been done in theCarpathl-
ans continue contradictory but it seems assured
that the Russians have made substantial gains
there, and they said to have taken 10000
prisoners during the past week. ltaly's po-
sition is still uncertain, but it looks as though
she might be compelled to engage in the war
in her own defense. In the west the Allies
are making gains. Nothing accomplished in
the Dardanells Germans continue to torpedo
defenceless crafts.
