Further attacks by the British forces on the Somnie, in the region of their recent victory, have carried them to tho outskirts of the village of Grandcourt. Much air fighting, in which.the Germans have suffered heavily, is also reported in the Western theatre. In Macedonia the Allies continue to close in upon Monastir, and the British have extended their advance beyond the Struma. Bather critical developments are reported in Rumania. The Germans have sent heavy reinforcements to Wallachia, and are pressing the defending armies hard. The German Chancellor las made a barefaced disclosure in regard to recent measures in Poland. He told the Grand Committoo of the Reichstag, it is stated, that unless a Polish army was raised in the numbers required, and proved satisfactory, the Kaiser would annul his promise to create a now kingdom. The French and British Prime Ministers have sent a joint message to Russia applauding her denunciation of Germany's violation of international law in Poland, and rejoicing in the renewal of the Tsar's promise of Polish autonomy. Reports indicate that an important feature in Germany's latest measures of war organisation is control of the agrarians, who bave been trading upon the necessities of the people in the matter of food . supply.
