OFFICIAL SUMMARY

(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. COPYRIGHT.) j !

WELLINGTON, This Day. i The official week’s war summary states: —ln the triumphant advance on tho Western Front, the part played by the British Army has been most ini", portant. not only during the triumphs ) of the past week, but during tli© whole of the previous month for, by our con- j tinned pressure between SC. Quentin • and the Sessee river, we have compelled the enemy to bring up the bulk of his best Divisions to meet this at- ; j tack aud thus distract him from other ; parts of the front. | The situation in Russia and Siberia ' shows signs of improvement and the j victory by General Pooled forces now 1 proves most complete. I The withdrawal of Bulgaria from the war cut s the land communications between the Central Powers and Turkey, and opens the southern frontiers or Austria and Itoumania to invasion. ’Die Central Powers are further endangered by the intense hostility of the subject nationalities of Austro-Huiigary as well as by the chance of Boumania’s i entrance into the war. Dummy proposals for a more effective and popular control show that the machine on which the German Government founded their success 0 11 warfare i s now shaken to th 0 depths, though it is most doubtful it even n general liberalisation of their system could avtfid their troubles. Some even suggest a military dictatorship as the only solution though tins is p flattest abandonment, of the whole Hoi enzolleren theory of a quasi divine autocracy.
