' LONDON, Aug 14.-Militarily the one outstanding feature of the year 1916-17 is that Britain has gained the initiative. For the first time since the war began Germany is en- tirely on the defensive. The mere matter of retaining some GOO square miles on the Western front doesn't mean much geographically, but it speaks tremendously for the increased support given the army De the folks at home, aside from the improved qualities of genralship at the front.
 Thanks to the preponderating and ever increasing flow of munitions,

Even the endorsements linden berg has been able to bring from the Russian front have not availed. Thanks also to the speeding up of aeroplane manufacture, along with the adoption of new types of ma chimes, Britain has definitely clinch- cd the mastery of the air which she had come pericusly near losing.
