PROGRESS OF THE WAR

While optimism seems to prevail in
! the provisional government i'll Russia
that d successful issue OF the counter
revolution started by Gen. korniieH
soon will be returned III favor OF Pre-
tnier kerenski, the situation still re-
mains most acute All the dispatches
from Petrograd are emanating from
the provisional government ell sup
perters OF Kcrenski.
Reports from Petregrad are to the
effect that Korniloff's march OH Pc
tregrad has been checked and that
even his retreat has been cut eff by
forces faithful to the provisional gev-
eminent; also that there have been
further defections from the ranks OF
Korniloff, and that a great majority
81 the commanders at the front are
still adhering to the government A
statement issued by the vice premier
said the. country und \ btediy was
with kerenski.
Meanwhile the spirit OF unrest
seems to have invaded Moscow where
martial law has been declared and
government forces are maintaining
order.
One of the bright spots in the stu
alton is the offer to the central COM
mittee Of the constitutional demo
cratic party to aid in the reconstruct
ion Of the cabinet so as to avoid civil
war.
OF great interest on the political
side Of the war also is the action OF
the Argentine government in handing
aassports to the German minister for
MS connection with dispatches sent to
Germany through the Swedish 1cga-
ton. Argentina has requested dis
avowal-by Germany Of the minister's
action and it is said viii Withdraw
her minister from Berlin If acquiss-
encc is not forthcoming
Meanwhile the British minister at
Stockholm has visited the Swedish
foreign office and expressed amaze
mcnt over the American State De
oartmcnt's charges against the Swe-
dish government and the fact \
Sweden has not given Great Britain
any explanation OF why coded Ger
man messages were permitted to pass
through the legation at Buenos Aires,
Late reports from Butnos Aires
says the German legation and Ger
man newspaper buildings have been
attacked by mobs carrying out an an
ti-German demonstration.
On the battle fronts the military
activity generally is far below that
of the past week. On the line in
France and Belgium only artillery
ducls and comparatively small opera
tons by the infantry are being carried
cut. Some further advances have
been made by the French in Cham
tpagne near St. Souplet.
Monte. San Gabrielle, i'll the Austro-
Italian theater, has been the scene OF
another vicious attack by the Aus
TRANS in an endeavor to dislodge the
Italians from recently captured posi-
tons. Their efforts met with no sue
cess
In the battle OF Riga, according to
the German war Office, 5000 Russians
were made prisoner and AIS guns and
large quantities of war stores were
captured. The fighting Gil this trent
has now dwindled to skirmishcs be-
tween accommodating attachments.
