Great Britain
THE SITUATION SATISFACTORY FROM MILITARY SENSE.
[By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.]
London, August 23
The Press Bureau report says that almost all the information reaching Britain, whether official or unofficial, comes from allied sources. Very little news of German or Austrian origin is filtering through, but sufficient to show that tne enemy claims successes both in the western and eastern theatres of war.
The campaign is proceeding on such an enormous scale that the encounters I which have already occurred can only be classed as incidents of minor importance. ' The exaggeration of minor episodes into important triumphs is misleading. However, it may be said that in the western theatre, whore Britain is moat interested, one really noteworthy success—or, perhaps, it ought to be called a German failure rather than an Allied success—is that at the end of three weeks th« enemy has not attempted to deliver the attack which, if it had occurred even partially successfully a week ago, might have interfered with the concentration of the French army and proved prejudicial to subsequent French operations. The situation at the moment is in a military sense satisfactory. SENTRIES EXERCISE THE RIGHT TO SHOOT. REFUGEES FROM OSTEND REACH ENGLAND. (Received 8.15 a.m.) London. August 2S.
