NEW FRENCH CABINET

The news from the battle fronts to-day is more or less «f a neutral tint, there being no outstanding development in any of the great campaigns. Tho French havo scored a hard-won success in Champagne, and maintained their gains. In the Balkans theatre the French have penetrated Bulgarian territory, and the British are expected to come up on either flank shortly. Meanwhile, the Serbians are fighting gamely on. There is a report from Athens that a Bulgarian division has been annihilated. Meanwhile, the general situation is being conned by various writers. HfUmania is beginning to show indications of making a move, and the Teutons and the Allies are both engaged in attempts to definitely win ever that hesitant State. Greece is still shuffling, and her King, tied by his matrimonial relationship to the Kaiser, is stated to be on the painfully sharp horns of an extremely awkward dilemma. The Allies are pouring troops into Salonika, while the enemy is demanding King Constantiue to arrest the-flood. Tlio French Generalissimo has attended an important War Council in London—an unexpected visit, of mysterious import. The Italians are scoring steadily in their mountain war. On the sea, the British have lost an auxiliary mine-sweeper in a collision with another naval vessel (not described), off Gallipoli, and 100 men are missing. Tho Australian cruiser Sydney has rounded up the six escaped German officers of the interned liner Kronprinz Wilhelm, who had "bilked" their parole, and were making for, Europe. , Whether they are prisoners or dead men, is not yet clear. A "facer" for tho German Government is announcement from Washington that tho liner Hesperian was, despite the Huns' assertion to the contrary, sunk by a submarine.
