LOndon's official report today speaks
Of strong bombardment OF the new

as there must by this time have been
ample opportunity for the heavy

Weather Is Big Factor.
The weather, however, is a decid-

sideration, as the continuation OF
hard storms not only keeps the
ground in a state well nigh prohibit

vances. but interferes seriously with
the vital aerial observation work.
The situation on the Russian
northern front continues critical,
with the Germans overrunning the
island of Oesel and rapidly pursuing
their program Of gaining complete
control of the Gulf OF Riga. Russian
military observers expect speedy eN-
tension of the German operations to
the mainland. probably on the Es-
thonian coast, whence movement
toward Petrograd might be pushed.
Petrograd itself is considered in
no immediate danger, as hundreds
OF miles of ground still lie between
the Germans and the Russian CAPT
tai. The possibility Of further naval

of operations still nearer the present

praised by President Wilson in o
statement saying:
"The needs of the army and the
navy have been met in way that as
sures the effectiveness Of American
arms, and the war-making branch OF
the government has been abundantly
equipped with the powers that we're
necessary to make the action Of the
nation effective.
"The Sixty-fifth congress, now ad'
journing," the president added, de
serves the gratitude and appreciation
OF people whose will and purpose l
believe 1t has faithfully expressed. One
cannot examine the record OF its &C
ton without being impressed by Its
completeness, its courage and its full
comprehension of great task.
Il believe that it has also in equal
degree and as far as possible in the
fact OF war safeguarded the rights OF
the people and kept In mind the con
sideration of social justice so often
obscured in the hasty read1ustments
Of such a crisis.
1T seems to me that the work oil
this remarkable session has not only
been done thoroughly, but that 1t has
also been done with the uptmost dis
patch possible in the circumstances
or consistent with a full consideration
of the exceedingly critical matters
dealt with. Best of all, it has left no
doubt as to the spirit and determine
ton of the country, but has affirmed
them as Loyalty and as emphatically
as our fine soldiers will affirm them
on the firing line"
