A belegmata irom. Petrograd states that the military positioni is viewed. in sourably.
Apart from the Bussin advance on the right bank of the Vilna and the advance in the southern sector, there are clear indications that the limits of a general Russian retirement in certain directions have |been renched and that the Russians will be able to resume the iniative
when the opportunity offers.
The Russian thrust is a vigorous counter-munieuvre to the enemy e surce on the Vilna, and seriously threatens the German left fank and the communications between Generals von Balow and von Eichorn.
The Russians have now assumed the mastery north of the Vilna, and Eussia's armies have definitely escaped any immediate risk of being. outthanked. Their front is shorter, straighter and more secure than it wax-before-
The German pécupation of Orany on the Vilan-Grodno railway, only slightly affects the general position and is largely noutralised by the Vins advance which is distinctly troublesome for Garman operations in Cour land, which in any case are not progressing with the onergy born of complete. assurance.
The Garrison liberated from Grodno is an important accession of strength to the Russian armios in the field.
There has been a comparative lill in the Bign region, where von Hinderberg appears to have withdrawn: considerable forces.

Earl Rosebery, addressing a meeting of Blasgow weavers, said that Great Britain was engaged the world over in wearing a winding-streat for the most in- amous couspiracy that had ever been known against the liberties of mankind.

In conclusion, he appealed for national unity, rigorously condemning strikes as endangering ba output of munitions.
