the cars men in the regions of Riga,
Kolki and Baranovichi have begun a
retirement this movement may become
precipitate. as have all other general
retreats in these regions. The character
of the territory over which the armies
are at present struggling is Of such
character that once defensive positions
are given up it is very difficult to re-
form new ones of such power as long to
effectively resist the enemy. The spirit
of victory created among the Russian
soldiers. coupled with the fact that
they are thoroughly equipped and mu-
nitioned. will carry them over greater
obstacles than have been placed before
them at any time during the war. With
all these factors taken into considera-
tion a general Teutonic retreat Of far
reaching character would not in the
least be surprising In the next few
weeks.
Teutonic forces during the week
scored considerable success at various
points, but when one looks at the
whole eastern situation and carefully
weighs results the logical conclusion liz
that the Russians everywhere are in
the ascendancy. The Slavic effort in
all directions shows no signs Of abate
ment-in fact. the Russians have ex-
tended the battle to the northward and
have brought serious menace to the
forces OF Field Marshal Won Hinden-
p~fv
Leopold of Bavaria. II is declared that
over the whole eastern front the Ger
mans have lost a half million men,
half of this number being prisoners
The Russian advance goes on success
fully in both Galicia and Bukowina,
particularly the latter section. where
the Russians not only have gained
complete possession. but have sent cav

where it was expected the allies would
take the offensive along with the
armies operating in other arenas. The
Saioniki entente forces are said to num-
Der in the neighborhood of 900, and
both Paris I'd London daily have ex-
pected to hear news of a drive against
the combined Germanic- -Turko- -Bulgar
armies facing the French, British and
Serbians.
1t is not disputed that the entente
forces in the Balkan arena are well
able to inausurate an offensive of
sweeping proportions, but why this
action Is not taken at a time when 1t
would prevent the removal of large
the questions of the day. The theory
is advanced. however. that the allies
are not yet fully confident that King
Constantine of Greece will not at the
eleventh hour and in anticipation of an
allied offensive, strike toward the
French and British. 1t seems prac-
tically certain that the allied forces
will make no move in the Balkans
until the rehabilitation of the Grecian
army is completed which probably
Will De during tne latter part of the
present month. The fact that the allies
insisted that the Grecian government
demobilize earlier than two months, a
period which Athens declared was
necessary for such action, would seem
to lend color to the belief that the allies
were anticipating an offensive without
the menace of Grecian attack from the
south. From present Developments it
would appear that King Constantine
loath as he may be to do so, has finally
given in to the entente and now is con-
tent to drift with the tide, as he said
he would when forced to bow to French
