The peak of Hartmanns-W w ell.
erkcpf which figures so promin.
entity in the dispatches from
time to time stands on the
southeastern verge of the Vos-
ges mountains, overlooking the
Rhine valley. From it's name
one would presume it to be Ger
man, but whether it is now in
German hads or French cannot
yet be told, for Paris and Berlin
during the past fortnight have
been claiming alternate or sim
ultaneous victories. The crest
of the peak, over 5000 feet above
sea-level, was captured by the
French last April, or at least
they gained a Judgement there,
for the Germans still held part
of the summit. The opposing
trenches were in fact only a few
yards apart and sharp-shooting
has been iucessant between
them.
On December 81 the French
took the offensive aud drove the
Germans from their trenches Oh
the summit and the southeastern
slope. The Germans came back
on the following day and regain
ed most of their lost positions.
This see-saw conflict continued
all through Christmas week, but
on the whole it appears that the
French are gaining ground and
are now in possession of the
slope of Hartmanns-W eilerkopf
as we'll as the valley lying be,
tween this peak and the lesser
elevation Of HirZenstein, a mile
TO the southeast. Whether this
attack p0rtends another attempt
ct the French at the conquest of
Alsace remains to be seen.
During the past week the Rus
slams have taken the offensive
against the Austro- g Germans in
a manner to prove that they are
not "crushed" by the Germans
as was once thought. In Galicia
and Bukowina the Russians
claim great gains. The Ans
trians have made determined
counter attacks around the town
Of CzPrnowitz, but according to
the Russian official statement
they were heaten back with
enormous losses, while the Rus
slams have made distinct gains,
occupying several Austrian po
sitions and taking mere than
1,3OO prisoners in all.
Count Won Reventlow. the
German naval critic writes thai
the Russian offensive has beC n
well pI epsrea and that the Rus
SLAMS have great reserves of men
and artillery, and he considers
that the movement if success
full might bring Roumania and
Greece on the side of the en-
tent.
Count Won Reventlow's opin-
ion concerning Greece is not
shared III Great Britain, where
the sopinion prevails that the
Greek King is not likely to op
pose his brotner-in law, the
German Emperor, in any cir
cumstances.

A Weekly Review

the Allies at Salonica that the
Austro- German and Bulgal ian
troops would follow them into

Afeverish haste and to rush in all
'allable reinforce ments. Since
Salonica was at first unfortified
and the French and British
around Salonica did not mum Der
more than third of what could
have been brought against them,
it seems likely that they could
have been overcome if the Aus
tro-German and Bulgarian troops
had continued their advance.
But they stopped instead at The
Greek border. Whether for the
purpose of preparation, or be-
cause their real interest lie else
where re mains to be seen. At
any rate, their delay has given
the Allies time to encircle Sa-
lonica with Notifications, to
bring up 1900 guns and to &C

they are, which, in view of our
preparations to receive them fit

only sign of hostility against Sa-
lohica manifested so far is the
appearance of several German
,aeroplanes flying high over the
