Though the German right is less than fifty miles from the Belgian frontier in France, imd ever since the outbreak of the war apparently have the British peo ple been more reconciled to the idea ever since the outbreak of the long and terrible. ... When the Ger mans first began, to retreat, after their rush toward . Paris, hope ran high that some master stroke -would bring a complete route to .the invaders. Now; however, many observers em phasize that even should the so-call-fti battle line be terminated the -Germans would pnly rattfeaeirj ir euafty tstrong entrenchments'' v is .v There is nbthUi-frni'.tlie'Frvnchi' line this morning ' to indicate the marked change itt the! situation.

The vicinity of Albert has again been the scene of vigorous ac tion, where the allies claim progress, an.l though it seems incredible, the atest announcements asserted that the remainder of the vast line was qiiitt with the exception of the re gion around St. Mihiel, from which the Germans were driven from their rxjiithernmost lodgment. From Petrograd there continues to pour in uninterrupted claims of Rus "inn successes pn the' Polish frontier, hut from Galicia, where, the Russians and combined German-Austrian forren are at death grips before Cra eow, has come , nothing to indicate which side has taken the first honors in preliminary skirmishes. A belated dispatch from Copenha gen says Emperor- William has re cently been at Breslau, where he de cided on a four-fold offensive move ment against Kovono; Warsaw, Lodz and Galicia.' When , this" was under way, it was added, be expected, to re turn to the western theatre of war. From the southeast tip of Galicia,. that is to say Bukowjna, .filters news of advanced Russian forces unheard of for days and that a battle between Austrians and combined Russo-Ser-vian forces was in immediate pros pert. British critics seem unable to aftiee as to whether the recent revi val of German activity in Belgium means a serious attempt to fake Antwerp and other points, or wheth er operationsare merely, intended to harass the Belgians and prevent them from tampering with the Gef mnn lines' communication. - Vienna, according to roundabout dispatches, purporting to emanate from the Austrian capital, is prepar- niK for a siege and there is even talk of removing the seat of govern ment.
