LULL IN THE WEST

DARING RAIDS BY THE AIRMEN GERMANS PREPARING FOR BIG AIR OFFENSIVE PEACE INTRIGUERS " UNMASKED THE LATEST GERMAN PEACE MOVE'

To quote the language of Sir Donlas Haig'odispatoh, "there is nothing of interest to Teport" on the British front in the West, and very little on the French front. TEe Germans, developing their offensive in the Baltio, have isolated Oesel Island from tho Russians. According to ,an eye-witness, one of the enemy's Dreadnoughts ran into, a minefield, an explosion was heard, but nothing is definitely known about hor fate. Tho political situation in Russia is still very much at sixes and .sevens. Anarchy is spreading, and tho Bolsheviks (.the anarchistic section) are making fresh trouble and threatening to initiate a movement to eject tho Government. A sensational story, published in New York, throws fresh light on the German naval mutiny, and particularly the events of July, where only tho mishandling of the situation by the mutineers and those behind them prevented an outbreak approaching something like a serious revolution. Tho Paris "Matin" exposes the latest German peace move— an attempt to deal separately with the Allied Powers with offers of concessions. Tho British have opened their air offensive on Germany with a successful raid forty miles beyond tho German frontier. All the machines returned.
