Aa usual, the Russians. In their
attack, struck the front which was
held almost entirely by Austria. Aus
tria's situation is well known and
needs no argument. Every state
ment which has come from Austria
since the death of Francis Joseph
I has indicated a willingness to quit
I and make peace if only half way rea-
j sonable terms could be made. Every
attack of importance made on the
Russian front since the beginning of
.the war has been against Austria,
with the sole purpose of defeating
her and forcing a situation where
she would have to make peace.
And every attack against Austria
has succeeded until the Germans,
pouring,, reinforcements into the
threatened line, have plugged the
gaps. * Austria is no match for Rus
sia even in the latter’s present weak
ened condition. In practically every
attack which has been directed
against the Austrians, not alone by
the Russians but by Italy as well,
the Austrians have eventually met
with defeat. It is in no sense sur-

The feature of the week’s fighting
is the Russian attack in Galicia. It
may prove but a flash in the pan, in
spired by the tremendous magnetism
of one man.s personal enthusiasm.
It is too early to tell.
Nevertheless, it iiJ one of the most

time ago the German papers were
clamoring loudly that RusHpi was
out of the war for all time, and
while such statements were atill be
ing heard the Central powers were
suffering the most severe defeat that
had been inflicted -upon them since
the battle of the Marne.
N In Armenia and in Persia there
was the same story to tell. And as
1»17 dawned, in all Allied circles
there was the hope and the expecta
tion that the* successes of the previ
ous year w’ould be repeated on even
a larger scale. Nothing was more
startling titan last year’s campaign.
And this year, on the anniversary of
the beginning of the •battle of the
Somme, Russia has repeated herself.
Not the least important effect of
the Russian awakening will be the
effect on the .other Allies. There is
no minimizing the < tremendous
strength of Germany’s defensive po-
sitions on the nesleni front; For
the Feeagh.
The German* seem to have had a
definite ofijret in view la thla recent
fighting aside from the ever-present
desire to create a diversion and so
relieve the pressure on the other
front to the west. When the French
last December thrust their way north
almost to their original line, a dan

Germans on the*west bank of the

"1 hereby proclaim to ail whom it

looking. It is true that Greece
brings to the Allies an army of about
3 00,000 men, w'hich is an addition
of about one-third to the force which
previously held this*front. This is a
verv considerable increase and adds
materially to the mangin by which
the numbers of the Allies . exceed

They have literally blasted many of
these out of existence, only to find
behind them defences almost . as
sttong and defended by a force
which has been augmented largely
bj u.fhdrawals from the Russian
front.*" . •• • '
The position of France has been
exactly similar. The. French have
advanced to the point where before
them lie commanding positions se

But the problem on this front is
not a question of men. , It is a ques
tion of artillery and almost an un
limited amount of shell. And an
unlimited amount of shell is one
thing which the Allies on this front
can not get. The long transportation
involved, the scarcity of shipping,
and the submarine interference with
ocean traffic make the nrohlem of
Saloniki almost Impossible of solu
tion. It is ii<»t apparent how the
Allies expect to advance along rhe
line th<T mu*d use—the valley of the
Vardar- under prevailing conditions.
