While the entente allies are nib

ing little or no serious attempts to
break through or to bring about cul
minating struggle, the Teutonic pow
ers have taken another step In the ex,

The advance guards of the German
have entered Odessa the greatest Rus
sian port on the Black sea and the
center of a great agricultural section,
the products Of which are desired to
feed the hungry peoples Of the central
empires. The German advance
through Moldavia and Bessarabaria
has been virtually unopposed.
- Wheat Supplies Opened
With Odessa safely in their hands,
the Teutons will have access to vast
stores. of wheat which can be trans.
ported overland or by sea to points
where it can be readily shipped into
Austria and Germany.
But the capture of Odessa will mean
something MORGAN advance over the
route to Persia, and Afghanistan and
possibly India, which is to be followed
now that the British have severed the
famous Berlin and Bagdad route to the
east. .I "'
Soviet Meeting Postponed.
The congress of Russian Soviets,
which was to have convened at Mos
COW on, Tuesday, postponed it's meet
ing until Thursday. This gathering
may be historic, as it will be asked to
ratify or reject the peace forced up
on the Bolsheviki peace delegates by
the Germans at Brest-Litovsk. When
the congress meets it is probable that
the message of President Wilson to
the Russian people will be read. It
is expected to make profound I'M.
preston upon the assembly.
Americans Are in the Game
The American sector in Lorraine,
which is now definitely located east of
Luneville, is the most active on the
French front. Great artillery combats
are being carried out by the Ameri-
cans, who have determined. by raiding
operations, that artillery fire has fore
ed the Germans virtually to abandon
their lines. Two hundred gas pro.
jectors installed for the purpose of
supporting attacks on the Americans
have been destroyed by shells.
The gallant conduct of the Ameri-
can soldiers in the field is reflected by
their. brothers in arms, the American
sailors of the destroyers squadron in
British waters. The courageous &C
ton of eight American sailors who
plunged overheard from the destroyer
Parker to rescue survivors Of the hos
pital ship Glenart Castle has been the
subject Of complimentary remarks In
the British house of commons.
