War Summary

Wiping out OF the German salient at
Messines appears, I'm the light OF later
development. to be merely the prelude
to a projected battle of a far mightier
description after a German reaction OF
a surprisingly feeble character. British
have resumed trench raids over front
reaching from north OF Ypres to as far
south as Epehy, a distance OF about
20 miles as the crow flies, but far more
than that along the tortuous windings
OF the battle front.
Official announcement OF raids north
OF Ypres is OF especial interest in view
OF recent frequently reported heavy ar
tillery fire on the Belgian front. Some
weeks ago the Germans made volun-
tary retirement from in front OF the
/ Belgian lines. fact little noted at the
time In the pressure OF greater events
From Ypres the allied front curves
sharply to the sea and an advance here
would threaten the German hold on
their great submarine bases on the Bel
gian coast. Ostend and Zeebrugge.
In the meantime there are indications
that General Sarrail Is preparing to
resume the offensive in Macedonia, the
Bulgarian official announcement report
ing great increase in the violence OF
the allied artillery fire on this front.
Considerable fighting has been going
on in Macedonia for month or more
but meagerness OF official reports and
surprising interest OF events in France
have combined 10 obscure the exact sit
uation.
Another gleam OF light has pierced
the dark clouds hanging over Russia
The Cossacks have again voiced theil
, desire TO support the provisional gov
ernment. and there are indications tha
! they will receive strong backing from
/ the peasants This cheering news comei
d on the heels OF the publication OF Presl
e dent Wilson's message TO Russia. whicl
: Is hailed by the British press as no
l only great state document but a pow
erful reinforcement TO the men VIII
r are striving FOR law and order in the In
;. FAINT republic.
