Great Battles on French Front Com,

London, May 31.--There has beer
such a pronounced pause In majo
wal activities as TO give the impress
sion that preparation for a new phase
may be in progress.
Only on the Austro-ltal!an front
where General Cadorna is determin
edly pushing his campaign for Trieste
is any sustained offensive movement
going on.
Further gains by the Italians on
the Trieste front are announced in
the days official statement. The Ital-
MedeazZa.
The great battles In France have
come to a halt. Even German coun.
ter attacks have ceased along the Brit
ish front. while on the French front
they have lessened.
The recent pronounced aerial &C.
tivity also has subsidized.
When the next blow Is to be de-
livered can only be surmised. Indica-
tons are multiplying that the Ger
mans are looking for some new de-
velopment. They have mentioned the
Russo-Roumanian front as the place
Of expected attacks.
News from the entente side Of that
front, however, has not been such as
to lead to the belief that an effective
stroke could be delivered there at
present.
Emperor William, in addressing his
troops In Northern France recently,
exhorted them to stand fast in the
decisive time he pictured near at
hand" Apparently a renewal Of the
Franco-British attack, possible on a
larger scale than ever, is anticipated.
