Ther is great activity in the eastern theatre, where the Austro German forces are pursuing the • offensive in numerous directions. Generally the Russians are standing their ground, but they have retired at certain points, , .one of these being the right bank 5 ■■the River Narew, Poland. ""^-^Wiportant movements of troops are reported from the Baltic Littoral. The Germans have made several attacks at different parts of the French line, but have been uniformly unsuccessful. In the Argonne, where the _ Crown Prince has been active, the French have captured another hill The Crown Prince s reports of Victories in this region are unfounded.

The French victory in the southern valley of the Fecht Alsace, was preceded by careful 'preparation, involving the building of a railway over 20 miles long. , Tbe Russians have sunk the German submarine Uol m the Black Sea, and a ssianJ^' marine has. sunk a steamer at the mouth of the Bosphorus.
