1.-THE chosen point oi attack
In France the deadlock continues, but
behind the fighting line the allies are
massmg men and guns for another tre-
mendous blow such as tha, which broke

the grip OF the Germans on Champagne.
General Maurice, chief director Of Brit.

Political Crisis Near.
| The comparative lul on the fighting
front IN France has once more directed
attention TO the political situation which
appears to be rapidly reaching a crisis,
( or rather, a series OF crises. The news
from Russia is increasingly gloomy in
nature and II becomes more and mora
question whether the provisional gov
ernment can weather the storm which
has been precipitated by the radical
socialists and yiSionaries. In any event
there seems little likelihood of any eff

Russia Tor long time 10 come. As

peace The complete absence of any re-
liable news from the dual monarchy for
many weeks renders. however. a correct

The tide of reform is obviously grow-

The efforts OF the emperor TO placato
