LONDON. Aug. 14 (Reuter)-A military commentary by ANNALIST states that "no material change has taken place kok Russia's far-flung battle front, but the situation in the Ukraine has admittedly deteriorated in the south. On all other sectors the grim struggle is continuing without any marked ad- vantage for either side.
"The only other progress claimed by the Germans is to the north of Lake Peipus where unconfirmed reports allege that they have reached the Baltic Sea, thus cutting off conìmunica- tion with Tallinn.
