THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Nothing OF particular military import
ance has been heard from Northern
France this week. There has been
severe fighting about Bellecourt, mostly
in'the form ct assaults by the Germans,
but the British have held the ground.
Some thousands ct dead and wounded.
with the probabilities that the Germans
being the aggressors suffered the most,
are the net results.
Air fighting is becoming more common
in which the British and French claim
superiority, but in which they also admit
severe losses.
y Ihe British claim that the subs have
sunk less ships during the week than in
the Immediately preceding weeks. But
the sea menace is still the absorbing
topic. 1t is admitted that there are no
certain means of offence or defence
against the submarine. The submarine
has its own limits however, such rs lack
of speed, lack of power to go great dis.
tances or remain for any great length of
time away from the base of supplies.
Also the crews must be mostly trained
and skillful men.
Many arguments are being thrown
broadcast to show that all the entente
countries are getting short of men and
munitions, etc, which is probably true,
but il true must necessarily be true oi
Germany-Austria in an increased degree
for obvious reasons.
Affairs in Russia are in chaotic con.
di:lon. 1t is question whether Russia
is today in proper condition fer demo.
cratic form of government. The bulk OF
the population are very poor and lgno
rant. Most of the remainder belong to
the nobility and higher classes. The
middle class is comparatively small in
numbers. Almost anything may happen
in Russia within few days or weeks,
Naturally all the outside warning coun.
tries are dong their best to influence
the different classes of people. Germany
is tempting with offers of peace and
Britain with warnings of danger. A
party from this country are about de
parting for Russia with the hope OF
helping them to get together.
The Italians announce the beginning
OF strong offensive which if nothing
more will tend to keep some Austrians
busy that otherwise might 90 to the
lines in northern France.
1t seems to be certain that the Ger
mans have already Withdrawn large
bodies of troops from the Russian lines
to reinforce the trenches IN France, as
they do not fear any special offensive
from the Russian aroops until political
matters are more settled at Petrograd.
Meantime, the wheels of our own
government are buzzing with prepara-
tion.
