Greater Prize Than City Long OBJ

sians-Rsports Of Suspension g.
opsrations in oaIieia and ssssarabia
Are Disersditsd.

The town. which lies few miles
northeast Of Czelnowitz. and is con-
verging point for five good roads. is Of
considerable importance and previous
attempts to capture it have been stout
" resisted.
Experts say Sadgura is Of more I'M
portance than Czernowitz, because OF
its strong neutral position.
The report from Petrograd that the
offensive In Galicia and Bessarabia
have been suspended Is regarded as
premature. The Russian offensive, it
is believed, could not be suspended
suddenly, as 1t was launched with Nn-
expected strength. The object Is three
fold: to demonstrate to the Rouman-
ians that the Russians can take the
initiative when they choose; second, to
divert Austro German forces from the
Balkans and western front, and finally,
to improve the general position Of their
own left flank.
While the full effect Of this Russian
offensive can not yet be determined,
entente military experts affirm that
the second object has been attained,
and that the allies have been relieved.
Protest Occupation Of Corfu.
The Greek government, says a dis
patch from Athens. has protested
against the occupation Of the island Of
Corfu by the entente powers. It is be-

The fact that the French fla1 now

OF Corfu. which belonged to the Ger
man emperor. and that the occupation
OF the island Is considered so COM
plete, already has evoked q protest
from Greece. The protest is formal
and the allies have given Greece an
explanation of their Intentions.
The occupation is to prevent the
Serbians army from risking the. danger
OF starvation.
The German offensive In the Cham
pagne IL said to have been undertaken
on a enormous scale and with def
mite military purpose. The German
forces have suffered terrible losses and
