WAR MEWS.

Reports indicate a lull in the grand operations, partly due to the state of the weather, which impedes the transport of guns and other heavy war material. Intermittent bombardment is proceeding at various points.

There is reported to be a growing feeling of restiveness amongst the southern corps ot the Kaiser’s Grand Army, especially amongst the Bavarians, who are getting insubordinate. From the eastern theatre there is excellent news. The German offensive movement, initiated from Thorn, and having for its objective the Polish capital, Warsaw, has failed, and all the Russian successes along the battlefront have been decisive.

In the beleagured fortress of Przeraysl matters are fast nearing a crisis. Cholera is raging.

In East Psussia a state of panic seems to have possessed the inhabitants in the Eastern districts of that kingdom, and the flowing tide ot frightened refugees has become such a problem that the German war plans have been actually and seriously embarrassed. Turkish warships have shelled a Russian village ; and the Bikaner Camel Corps has been in action on the Egyptian frontier.

In South Africa the pursuit of De Wet is growing hotter and hotter, and the rebel chief is being hunted from pillar to post.
