It has been demonstrated that a single blow is not sufficient for this parr pbse. It is entirely within the bounds of possibility, however, that after passing the main lines of defense, a break of sufficient width may be created to permit the passage of large bodies of troops, which could roll up the "‘“K*- , ' V Here the British cavalry would ing directly to the east.

Corn- features. The British prefaced the opera tions by an attack toward Combles, which finally placed in their hands the entire village of Ginchy. Some time ago the western edge of the vil lage was taken, but the forces th the eastern part held on and could not- be,. dislodged. Tho British attack really paved the way for the successful' French - moves north of the Somme, which took place later.. Some explanation of this state ment is, perhaps, needed. Ginchy was the point where the German line | changed its direction and turned to eaflt bank wit ! the south, after running approxi- j ot , ier .. ide ' ot the r j ver ; ; mately east and west.

But little progress seems to have been made in Transylvania, the ap proach to the Maros Valley having vbeen held up by the stiffening Aus trian resistance, except in the north near the source of the river, where the Roumanians have crossed to the western bank. On the whole, noth ing has happened there to give either side any great advantage. In Dobrudja, the Bulgarians west of the railroad have advanced to the river, taking Silistria. the largest town on the Danube in tills province This has but little meaning. It would have more if there were a bridge over, the river at this point,' as it would pave the way for an ; ttack on the bridgehead, which would logical ly have been formed on the northern JOHN BULL ISSUES RATMNS T« NORTHERN NATIONS STOPS AMERICAN FOOD Great Britain to Limit Trade of N<'r>- j w»y, Sweden, Denmnrk and Hol land—London Chamber of Oora- merce Plans Extensive Trade War Through Tariff Manipulations.

On the Russians front, thc situa tion has developed largfciy into a tremendous struggle for the Carpa thian passes.
