On the French front south of the Somme, however, the Germans have not been showing the s me readiness to dispute anY new advance. As an illustration, when the French made their largest advance, whi h was between the villages of Maurepas and Clery, the Germans waited more than twenty-four hours before launching a counter stroke. Its value'had by that time largely passed, for the French had had time to reverse the trendies, thoroughly strengthen the new podtions. and consolidate them with the old lines.

It did, however, push oh until the lino of Hie Southern Zlota Lipa had been passed and the Koropiec forced. This brought under Russian control the lower ten miles of the Zlota Lipa, d to this extent impaired its value a defensive screen behind which'in ie Austrians could seek safety. Had the Austrians been present in greater force, or had they retired to tills line earlier, it is possible that they might have held the line a great deal longer. The Zlota Lipa is an easy river to defend. , The hanks are high and steep, the river itself flow ing rapidly thnrugh deep cuts in the Clay. There is a greaDdeal of water being elongated by the Russian suc cess in flattening them out against the Carpathian wall. Tills seems to be the object of the extrema left wing of the Russian army. What lies beyond this, lust what Russia will do when the Aus trian* are driven buck into the moun tains, no one can sdy. Certainly Russia has made no move which dis closes her hand. Several points of interest appear tliis connection. The Russians line* back to a danger point, or. on the other side, fo show that it is im possible for the Germans to continue to successfully resist the brunt of the allied attack. On the Italian front the Kalian campaign is being slowly developed, but sufficient has been done to show how the Italian fight will be waged.
