front In Eastern Galicta and the Buko-
wilma The Austrians were compelled
10 withdraw troops from the Italian
front TO give up their victorious ad-
vance between the Adige and the
brenta. and TO fall back against their
own frontier, but Count Cadorna
knows very well that the sledge ham
mer blows against his forces will he
renewed as soon as the Russian Of
fensive stops.
The big push of the English and
French on the Western front has not
proved the success our enemies ex-
pected 1t to be. Although the battles
on both sides OF the Somme continue
there is now but little danger that the
allies will break through our front.
We hold the numerically superior
forces OF the enemy and give them a
chance TO bleed themaelves to death
In vain attacks,
The small game made by the Brit
ish and French troops have been very
costly and we may we'll doubt whethe
the allies are willing to continue their
terrible sacrifices indefinitely.
The French have done tho Hons
share OF the work in Picardy, They
attacked with the greatest bravery, as
they did in the Champagne year ago.
but the small strip OF territory won
by them is nowhere moro than four
ard one-half miles wide. and they did
not succeed IN reaching peronne
In their daily official reports they
have far more to say about the Ger
man counter blows than about their
own attacks. They are already show
ing signs of exhaustion and looking
anxiously toward their British allies.
who have been plainly told by the
( Echo de Paris' and other French pa
pers that they will have to get a move
on, 10 use slang expression.
Many OF the French papers, with
tho consent OF Che censor, angr!ly CON-
ment on the fact that tho British are
tagging behind and have accomplished
but little along their section OF the
Battlefront. between the Ancre and
the Somme. To refute this reproach
! the English mysteriously hint thai
their main blow would be struck al
another point This may be true, blu,
we await further development calmly
The result OF tho battles fought since
the first Of July has convinced us that
the numerically enormous British
army is not able to drive us back to
the Rhine.
| TN the meantime our offensive
against Verdun continues untrnpatred.
We are we'll able TO beat back all the
desperate counterattacks OF the
French before the fortress and to ad-
vance nearer our goal step by step.
The neutral press discusses tho
possible consequences Of the fall of
Verdun. We cannot Join this debate,
but We know that the German gem

Noitke. does not make large sacri-
fsce~ to gain q temporary success OF
doubtful value. but always looks far

shall Won Hindenburg and Prince Leo
poid of Bavaria in the North. Bitter
battles were fought between Riga and
Dvinsk along the Shtohara, on both
sides of the Baranowitchi Railroad
and along the Oginski canal, but every
where our troops victoriousiy repealed
the onslaughts of the enemy.
Further south, in Volhynia, Gen.

west OF the Lutsk the Russians have
crossed the Galician border at Brody,
the army Of General Won Brothmer had
to retire from the strypa to the Koro-
piec. the Russians have advanced a
little west OF Kolemea and south of
the Pruth the Austro- Hungarian front
has been pushed back to the Car
pathians.
"Thes successes OF the Russians are
Of little practical value. because our
front has nowhere been broken. In
the Bukowina General Won Pnanzer-
Balun faced Russian forces which
were numerically six times stronger
than his. For q time his army was
In a dangerous position and threatened
with humiliation. but he skillfully
withdrew toward the Carpathians, in
flicting heavy losses upon the Russians
in rearguard actions. His lines re-
manned intact and he was able to start
a counter attack as soon as he receiv-
ed achievements.
How long the Russians will be able
to continue their offensive cannot be
estimated. Grand Duke Nicholas
again dominates the Russian general
staff and has given orders that the
Austro- German lines must be broken
regardless of the cost. The present
Russian strategical methods are ex-
actly the same as during the first year
of the war The Russian borders will
continue their onslanghts until ex-
haustion stops them. They may reach
the wall of the Carpathians, but there
they will surely dash themselves to
pieces"
