London.--The check which the Rus
SLAMS have imposed on Archduke Jo'
seph Ferdinand's army in southern Po-
land, and the additional strain which
this has placed on the German gen.
eral Won Mackenzen's army to the
right, has postponed, 1t is believed In
military circles here, the threatened
German offensive in the west, and
there is now a possibility that the al
lies will be the first to take the Of
fensive.
In support OF this 1t is pointed out
that the attacks by the German crown
princes army in the Woevre, which
the German press announced was the
commencement of general move for
ward, have ceased, and what fighting
is going on along the western front
consists of artillery engagements, a
few isolated attacks, and counter-at'
tacks by infantry, which make little
or no difference in the positions OF the
opposing forces.

ing entertained may become aequaint.
ed with the numerous advantages to
be found here in the way of agrlcul
ture, horticulture, stockraising, etc.
This procedure ON the part of SEN
ator Brady is commendable and ought
to give Mountain Home a boost, as
it will no doubt be the means OF a
great deal of advertising in the east
and cause home seekers and eastern
capital to sit up and take notice
that Idaho and especially Mountain
Home is still on the map.

Austro- Germans along front Of ap-
proximately $50 miles, about equal to
the distance between Arras and the

The Berlin official communication

At the line which runs from Lemberg
to Odessa through Tarnopol.
1t seems evident that Germany is
bent on further punishment for the
Russians before relaxing the intensity
of her Galician campaign, but with
the Russians across the frontier, the
Germans will have to rely almost
solely on ROAD transport and their ad.
vance will necessarily be slower.
The British press continues to voice
the hope that Russians soon will find
a tenable line and deliver counter
blow, but there is note of anxiety
in nearly all other accounts, together
with the warning that either the cap
ture Of Warsaw or the seizure Of the
great railway lines which supply 1t
would be disastrous to Russia and
would surely be followed by another
general German offensive in the west.
Notwithstanding the French attacks
around Arras, 1t is argued that the
Germans must feel comparatively Sc

have risked their tremendous envelop-
Ing move against the Russians. The
