EASTERN ARENA.

Russians continue to advance in the
Riga region and at many points along
the eastern line, but have encountered
most strenuous resistance on the part
of Austro-German forces in Galicia
along the River Styr, where both Vien-
ma and Berlin claim repeated repulses
of Russian attacks
The Russian armies operating in the
Riga district have not only probably
forestalled the German desire to take
this port as a winter base, but have
driven the enemy back for miles from
their position gained during the great
offensive movement of several weeks
ago. Petrograd claims not only to
have taken Raggabe, Anting and KEN
mern. but reached the junction Of the
Riga Windau and MitauWindau rail-
ways. which, it is declared. will great
ly hamper future German movements.
German Officers May Be Shifted.
One of the surprising announce
ments of the week was the declaration
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
would be transferred from active COM
mand of the German forces on the
eastern front and either sent to the
western arena or placed in command
of the Balkan forces. Field Marshal

lipoli peninsula. Although still uncon !
firmed, this announcement is not en-
tirely unexpected by students of the
situation, for only last week it was
reported that Won Hindenburg made
the threat to resign rather than try
to carry out the kaiser's persistent re-
quest that Riga and Dvinsk be taken
at all costs. Gen. Won Hindenburg 1t
is declared. fully realized the futiiity
of this at the present time. Should he
be transferred, however, another Ger
manic drive for these two objectives
can be expected to materialiZe within
a short time. Russians, however, are
confident that they will not only con-
tinue successfully to resist any Of
fensives of the Germans who have been
weakened by the dispatch of large
forces to Serbia, but will continue the
present offensive.
Russian people. however, are being
warned that they should not be too
optimistic as to results achieved on
the eastern front.

adyices that already elaborate plans are
being made for incursions into Asia
Minor. Constantinope is prepar ring to
receive the kaiser and his military ad-
viserS and German officers are declared
to have been sent to Asia Minor to ar
range for conjunctiye action of German
and Turkish forces.
Reports of unrest in India continue
to be received and even London OF
ticialS admit there have been grave
difficulties with the Hindu natives
These outbreaks are said to have been

masses of Indian people who are said
to be heart and soul with the cause
of the British empire.
However, Turkey announces that the
British advance in Mesopotamia has
been greatly retarded by the refusal of
large Indian forces to make an attack
upon Bagdad, which city holds many
of their shrines. Many of these In
dians have been shot for treason, it is
declared. During the week more than
$4,000 Arabs are reported to have
joined the British forces operating in
Mesopotamia.
The past week has been one of sus-
pense for the allies and one overshad-
owed by gravest doubts. AS Winston
Spencer Churchill put the situation:
I'VE are passing through a bad time
and 1t proba bly, will be worse before
1T is better.

England and France are anxiously

former British cabinet officer, Mr..
Churchill. who declared:

now of the cost of the military opera

Entente nations are more than ever
concerned over the outlook in the Bal
kan arena, and SO critical has the sit
uation become there that it is be-
ieved the transfer of the Dardanelles
armies to Serbia would be hailed with
delight. Not only are the Serbians
hemmed in by wall of Bulgarian and
Germanic steel. but the Franco-British
forces as well have been seriously
menaced during the past week by the
reinforce armies of King Ferdinand
1t is still realized that tens of thou
sands of men must be sent to the Bal
kan arena if the enemy is defeated,
and the spread of his influence over the
near east is checked. Thousands of
allied troops are being landed at Sa-
loniki daily and still more are on their

sprung UP in Paris, London and Petro-
grad. Reports have been persistent
during the past week that King Con-
stantine has no other intention than
to intern all F'ranco-British forces
which may be forced back over the
Grecian frontier, and sooner or later
demand that the allies cease using his
territory a base for the Serbian op-
erations. AS the result of these re-
ports the allies have brought strong
pressure to bear upon King Constan-
tine and his government. in order to,
at least. gain assurances that the mill
tary operations of the allies will not
be interfered with in any way by
Greece.

but their attempt to pierce the French

reports that the Bulgarians left thou

One of the striking battles of the
