WAR SITUATION.
The campaign against the Rus
sians, on which the Germans are
now concentrating their offensive
efforts, is developing another
phase, in a violent attack in Rus?
sian Poland. At the same time
the Germans are pushing back
the Russians in the Baltic prov
inces and, with the help of the
Austrians, in Galicia.
It was announced semi-official-ly
in Berlin, that the Austrd
German forces along a 682-mile
front in Poland, Galicia and Bu
kowina had begun a general at
tack in a battle expected to be
decisive.
On the Franco Belgian front,
where the British and French
luye undertaken, new move-
ments said to have resulted in
the capture of German -positions
at several points, no further
changes are reported with the
exception of French gains in the
Vosges. The official announce
ment from Paris says heights
dominating portions of the val
ley of the Fecht are now under
French control.
The German admiralty an
nounced the loss of the subma
rine TJ-14, whose crew was capt
ured by the British. Announce
ment of the sinking of a German
submarine with the capture of
twenty-seven men was made last
week in the House of Commons.
An official communication from
Petrograd contains the admission
that the Germans have occupied
additional villages near Shavli,
in the Baltic region, but states
that the Russians regained lost
ground near Przasnysz. It is in
the vicinity of Przasnysz, which
lies to the North of Warsaw,
that the Germans apparently are
making their most determined
effort on the Polish front,,, al
though the fortress of Ossowetz
i j -is
again being attacked..
The .Galician campaign has
reached a .critical stage, in view!

little of the battle along theJSanj
due states tne Russians nave won
some advantages, in the fighting
further South, in the Dniester re
gion.
Official advices from the Italian
army headquarters represent the
Italians as gaining advantages
all along the front, particularly
in the Adige Valley, which leads
to Trent. On the Isonzo front,
where centers the battle for poss
ession of Triest, Italian success
es also are claimed.
The Turkish forces on Gallipo
li peninsula have taken the
offensive. An official statement
from Constantinople says heavy
losses were inflicted on the
French and British, but . an an
nouncement from London is to
the effect that the Turks were
repulsed in an. attempt to re
capture lost trenches,
According to a Constantinople
report, a Turkish aviator has

type of the Agamemnon aground
