LONDON, August 3.-There are indi
cations that the situation has changed
in the last three weeks in northern Rus
STA and that the Germans shortly will be
gin an offensive against the southern part
of the Thurman railway
The Finnish population is now intense
ly hostile to the Germans There is a
great shortage of food and the people
are entirely dependent on the entente
for sustenance. Both the government and
the army, however, are completely under
German control and there is every rea-
son to suppose they will cooperate with
the Germans.
The Germans have induced the Boil
sheviS government to agree to the ces-
sion of the whole Of the Thurman coast
to Finland, notwithstanding the desire
of the inhabitants to remain Russian The
Finnish army capable of undertaking an
offensive probably does not exceed 10000
men
In the Ukraine the present rising has
assumed large proportions and apparent
ly is a serious menace to the German and
Austrian communications. The peasants
are destroying the railroads and have
blown up the bridge southeast OF Kiev
The Austrian troops in the district have
been unable to control them
In the Caucasus there is great friction
between the Germans and Turks The
Germans are trying to prevent the Turks
from occupying Baku, on which Turkish
attack appears to be imminent. Baki
is lightly garrisoned by Armenians anC

There is evidence of growing discourage
ment in Bulgaria, which is said to be due
chiefly to the explorations of the Bull
garians by the Germans.
