London, England.-A brief an

government had been transferred
from Melbourne to Sydney, finds no
explanation here. The high commits

less it is connected with the question
Of defense. Sydney is the main cen

commonwealth.
Berlin, Germany.-The German Of

successes, notably at Notre Dame De
Lorette; also in the Argonne, where
500 yards were gained. In the forest
