Obscure.
Loudon, Dec. 18.-Tho week-end
flnd3 tlio war situation tho east and
v/03t outwardly comparatively quiet.
Scmo observers are ready to predict
that operations will virtually remain
at a standstill until after tho boil
days.
Nevertheless there ls much food for
speculation. This is particularly
true of the eastern .front, how stretch
ing virluaWly across two cor-tinenta,
from North Russia to South Persia.
In the extreme north unofuctal re
porta say that the now Gerinan thrust
between Riga and the Dvlnaly has al
ready begun, but has no confirma
tion. Five hundred miles so?th fae
Russians believe that they liave
checked another enemy , attempt to re
sume the offensive in Gnllcia. .
In the Balkans lt is not likely that
tho.-situation will long remain quiet,
with over 2,000,000 men under arms
of various nations.
Tho 'Bulgarians arid Germans aro
promised hew annoyanco on their
flanks by Italian operations through
Albania and F^issialn concentration
in Bessarabia. .Meanwhile Grand
Puke'Nicholas* advance on the Hama
dau brines the Russians within about
200 miles of Bagdad; .
. The.Greek bordor .situation .ia .ob/.;
6cure. It is bolleved thevt the dlplo-;
matte complications are near a set

Whether, the Bulgarians will cross

Greece. It is feared the Bulgarian
