While the allies offensive in the West has given hope in London that the. Germans will fall back to a line further removed from the sea, all un easlnesa has not passed, for, they pre vioualy have shown wonderful recu perative powers. The presence of the Russians In East Prussia and Silesia, however, will. It is believed here, pre vent the Germans from sending any more troops to the West. If It does not compel them to withdraw some already at that front. Serbs Drivnn Backward. The Austrlans apparently have sent stronger forces against Servla and have driven the Serbs out of Slavonla. Of what la going on In Hoinla, which the Servians and Montenegrins invad ed almost to the capital, Sarajevo, nothing has twen' disclosed for weeks; hut operations against their northern border might have" had on effect on the Servian plans there. Nothing of moment has occurred in the near Kavat. but Turkey is being attacked in Isolated spots by the Rus sians and British. The Turks also are apparently coming very close to war with Greece, the situation having been aggravated by the sinking of a Greek steamer by the Turks and the threatening of Greek hi Asia Minor. Neither liulgarla nor Rumania has yet made any move.
