BRIGHTER OUTLOOK IN

ARTILLERY ACTIVITY- IN ITALY
The most interesting and arresting item of news in the war dispatches from Europe to-day is tho forecast of a "well-knoivn neutral" of the German plans for a great offensive as soon as the weather permits. Tho main German blow, he says, will be launched at Verdun, with secondary thrusts at Calais and Italy. In the meantime the peace agitation in the Fatherland continues. Public meetings pass resolutions, and the saner journals urge negotiations. Artillery activity is reported from the Italian front, where the British batteries have been doing effective shooting. The situation in Kussia, according to one dispatch, is improving, although the farce'of the Constituent Assembly seems likely to be played out to a funeral drop scene. Trouble is threatened amongst the Clydebank workers in Scotland over the new man-power proposals, and there is talk of "downing too's."
