Big Drive BY Allied PoWds Begun

London - At last the long-heralded
and much-deIayed grand offensive Of
the allies seems to be at hand II
events rather than official announce
ments mark its opening, it is already
well under way.
Paris and London have said nothing
regarding the important operation de-
veloping. 1t has been left to admis-
sions from the central powers to es-
tablish their existence.
Thus as against the silence Of the
British war Office, Berlin chronicled
the opening Of important battles in
the sector held by Sir Douglas Haig.
vienna supplements this with the
admission Of 2O-mile retirement in
the Trentino. "To retain our freedom
Of action" is the tribute the Austrian
war Office pays to General Cadorna's
offensive, which observers expect TO
spread rapidly to Isonzo front.
In the east, the Russians, while still
held up in their advance on Kovel by
the Germans, are continuing their adj
vance against the Austrians in the
south. Their flank now protected BY
the Carpathians. they have turned
northward in their sweep through Bu-
kowina and are now approaching Ko-
lomea. They are already within 10
miles Of the town.
Thus, though the Germans succeed
in preventing the progress from the
north. the Russians may still force the
evacuation Of Lemburg and Tarnapol
by advancing from the south. Similar
tactics were successful when the Rus
SLAMS took the city before.
General Brusiloff's main efforts are
now being diverted to overthrowing
the Germans in these positions. He
has brought his batteries which routed
the Austrians, to bear here.
