mean that they will attempt to find leuburg county metropolis,
a weak point and may be only for the -
purpose of drawing the allied atten
tion to one spot while troops from the
Russian front are massed for a strong
effort on some quiet sector. Some local
attacks by the (Germans on the Meusc
northeast of Verdun were repulsed by
the French who took prisoners.
Infantry activity is stopped momen
tarily at least on the Italian front. The
Austro-Oerniaii effort to break through
failed with heavy losses. The shatter
ed forces were reformed for another at
tack and the eiiproyfaHed- ngain-. j'i'he
Austro-Oermans captured some .terrain
but without, improving their position
and at a heavy cost. An apparently lo

taken by the Austria ns.
Of lu-ia 1 e-ntry into .leriwalcn, the Holy

great success of General Allendy's drive

efforts of cutting the Suez eaiinl.
Meagre reports from Russia indicate
that the Bolsheviki are meeting with !
difficulty in maintaining control of Mos
cow. The situation there is reported as
grave with the Boleshviki garrison re
fusing to obey the commander, who has
ordered machine guns placed in, the
streets to prevent an uprising.
A Copenhagen dispatch says that the
Bolsheviki have ordered troops from the
Caucasians to oppose the forces of Gen
erals Kalcdines, Korpiloff and Dutoff,
whjle from reports large forces have
been sent from the Baltic sea front to
the HI Ukraine and Cossack provinces.
Whether clashes have occurred between
the. Bolsheviki , and the -forces of the
counter revolutionists is not apparent, as
the Bolslmjfiki controls virtually all the
direct means of communication to the in
terior of Russia.
