RUSSIANS AGAIN PREVAIL.

GREAT VICTORY HEAR THE OHEISTER. BULGARS AND SERBS MEET. THE BULGARS DEFEATED. . GERMANS ANTAGONISING DENMARK. TWO HUNDRED CHILDREN ABDUCTED. Italy is chortling with delight and with very good reason. Italians feel now that they are keeping step with the rest of the Allies in driving the enemy back, The preparation for their great victory was most clever and complete. Later news states that they have now captured Gorizia, which has been a long time coveted. We only need a big victory now in Macedonia to.complete the circle of Hun defeats. In a few mouths we shall be able to see more of the battles on the Somme than the men engaged in them, moving pictures having been taken of them. The camera not being nervous, and having a wide scope of vision, will visualise battles for us probably more clearly than would he possible to an ordinary observer. The Russians have obtained a splendid victory south of the Dneister. They claim to have broken the enemy front for a distance of sixteen miles, which is a fairly big fracture. The enemy is also being closely pursued. If the appointment of Hindenburg to the supreme command is going to be worth anything to the Huns it will he during the next few weeks as be of the stone face is now paying particular attention to Brusiloff. Another sensational advance is predicted to take place in a very short time. The allied artillery is subjecting a long German line to a tremendous bombardment, which is said to be having a very perturbing effect on the Germans, indicating, as it does, the near approach of another rough and tumble in|which they will get the worst 'of it as usual. The bombarament is characterised as a deluge of metal. We have shells to throw away now. The Germans would appear to be endeavouring to antagonise the Danes now. Why otherwise they should capture Danish school children and take them to a German port is a puzzle. They have some puerile grievance against them, no doubt.
