Russia's reply to the brilliant series of Austro-Gennan victories in Qa i licia is a law setting up a board of muntions, which is empower1 ed to spend unlimited money and which has virtually unre stricted power over all the pri vate industries over the whole country, according to reports from Petrograd. The creation of the board became a law with an alacrity that was astounding and is taken to indicate that Kussi fully realizes that the re cent disaster to the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas was largely due to lack of muni tions and equipment. Comparative quiet prevails all along the front in the east, except on the border separatng . Eu?sian Poland and Gahcia. The attention of the English I public is again turned toward ' the dplomatic and domestic problems. Special dispatches from the Balkans say that Bui garia is not dissatisfied with the tentorial offer made by the entente allies and that Turkey has not lost hope of conciliating her dangerous neighbor, which is shown by the fact that Bul garia - Turkish negotiations looking to the delineation of the frontiers of the respective countries are to be resumed at Constantinople.
