Austrians close to 100000 men in dead
and wounded and at least q, 900 pris-

ian fronts.
Germany is starting an offensive OF
her own against the Russian lines.
The drive has already gained ground
on the Riga front.
The British theory is that the Ger

of public morale because OF the enor.
nous losses and forced giving away on
the Western and Italian fronts, have
started a military move which they
will use to keep other front news sub

The Russian army's weakness In
munitions and supplies permits a
relatively small force of well organ
lied Germans to make a strong i'm
preston against them.
The British and French onslaught
on the west front and the Italian drive
tc the south gained more ground after
enduring a night of the most violent
counter attacks.

The plan most favored by the trade
commission members is one unde

mine the cost Of producing definite or
derf and would pay fair percentag'
of profit on each.
