the task after the long period of dis.
organization, the war minister. who Is
rtputod to be popular with the army
ana trusted by it, nevertheless ex.
presses confidence in his success.
This move, which included the com.
pulsory return OF all deserters by Nav
~, under heavy penalties, is one Of the
first results of the cabinet reorganiza.
tion designed to amalgamate the d.
verse forces whose lack OF cohesion
has paralyzed Russian effort.
The recent intensive fighting on the
British front In France has subsided
ana the activities along the French
lines in the Aisne region are confined
mainly to counter attacks by the Ger.
mans.
The Italian offensive with Triest

perhaps more active interest than any
