ENEMY IN FULL RETREAT

PUTTING THE SCREW ON GREECE .ALLIES DEMAND IMMEDIATE DEMOBILISATION ; - GREEK CABINET . CLIMBS DOWN BRITISH SQUADRON IN THE NORTH SEA LOOKING FOR FIGHT . There is a budget of very interesting news from various quarters to-' day. . Detailed accounts are given, of the victorious Russian offensive which.is developing apace. The enemy defence has been shattered on a long front. The town ofLusk has fallen to the Russians, and they are . .advancing rapidly at a number of points. Some.of the news suggests that , ;the enemy is on the evo of an extended retreat.' Highly important events are astir in. Greece. Under pressure of an Allied blockade, Cabinet has ' ordered the-demobilisation of twelve classes of the army. The Allies are demanding'complete demobilisation. A great battle, apparently on fairly even terms;.as yet, is reported oil the Trentino front. The capture of •Fort Vaux by the Germans.is confirmed. The garrison, when- cut off from all support, offered a heroic resistance in the subterranean defences. All attempts by "the Germans to extend their foothold have thus far been broken, and the French trenches closely surround the fort site. Neutral reports'staite that the British Fleet is patrolling the.North S ( ea, while the enemy remains closely bottled up. The Germans have issned a report upon the naval battle which contains a number of obvious falsehoods, but admits, the loss of the Dreadnought Lutzow.
