THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR

Very little Of special Importance has
\occurred along the fighting lines this
week. The British and French have
consolidated and held all of last weeks
gains, while the Italians appear to have
stopped the German and Austrian sweep
Both sides are hurrying up supplies and
reinforcements, many British and French
have Joined the Italians, and there may
be some heavy fighting there soon.
The Socialist crowd that are in power
as. Petrograd and the Germans are par
leying for peace. Even in their demands
for peace they are absurd from mill
tary standpoint. While Russia has mil
lions and millions of men, her greatest
need at this time is Just one man. That
one man has as yet not appeared. The
>clouds hang heavy over that devoted
land. What storms may break in the
near future only God knows.
Were you thankful yesterday that
four thousand miles of salt water lies
between us and Europe?
