German Front Intact.

ENORMOUS LOSS OF MATERIAL. SITUATION IN RUSSIA AND AFRICA. Received this day, 11.40 a.m. London, September 6. From August Ift the British took prisoner approximately 70,000 Germans and the Franco-Americans about 40,000. Generally speaking there is no evidence that the German command has not kept the situation wedil in hand, al. though it ha;« made demands on the .troops which cannot bo continued indefinitely without grave risk. The enemy front generally has been maintained intact and t!be withdrawal even if hasty, has been carried out fairly methodically although with the loss of an enormous amount of material. Tho situation in the East is still obscure, but the Czedhb-Slovaks have probably obtained the control of the whole Trans-Siberian railway. Allied Forces, including Russians, are pushing down the Vologda railway. The feeling in Fin.landl against fighting the Allies appears to be growing. The Finn Army is full of mutiny and discontent but the Germans are sfciil pushing forward their communications northwards towards Petcheaka and eastwards towards. the White Sea. Much bitterness prevails in Finland against the Germans exploiting the country. Our efforts in East Africa continue successfully. Yon Letow appears to he working northwards. His total force is now reduced btjlow 200 whites and 2000 Askaris. SHELVED. Received tihi* diay, 9.30 a.m. London, September 6.
