newly won by the French on the Somme
front. The War Office announced they were
repulsed each time with heavy losses. The

London, Sept. 11th.-General Brusiloff, in
an inter view with the correspondent of the
'Daily Chronicle at the Russian front, pre-
diets the end Of the war by August next.
The Austro- Hungarian army is assail-
ed from all sides, he said, and wont
be able to stand much longer before the
hordes of enemies who are hurting them
selves against it and preparing to in
crease the vigour of their blows. The
Intervention of Roumania is an event of
the first order. I am no prophet, the flu
ture is in Gods hands, but il / had to make
a hypothesis, I should be inclined to think
that the month of August 1917 might see
the end of our memorable work. The pre-
sent war is one which it is impossible for
the Allies to lose, though Il great deal re-
maine to be accomplished. A successful
result is already in our hands, the game
is already won

prisoners. In an attack along a front of
about three and a half miles the British
