Apart from the Russian advance on matine E. 13 has been refloated and brought to Copenhagen, where the right bank of the Vilia and the advanos in the southern sector, it will be interned until the end of the war. there are clear indications that the limits of the general Russian retirement, in certain directions, have about been reached. The Russians are able to assume the initiative when opportunity offers. The Raseisa thrust is a vigorous counter-manoeuvre to the enemy's menace of Vilna, and seriously thrastane the German left flank and communications between Generale von Balow and von Eichora. The Russians have now sasumed the mastery no:thward of Vilna.

Altogether the prolongation of the German lines of supply, gimultaneously with the shortening of those of the Russians lines, is seen now to be telling the inevitable tale, while the ground must rapidly soften into a normal autamu impassibility.

FRENCH COMMUNIQUES,

PARTICULARLY VIOLENT ARTILLERY ACTIONS.

September 4, 7:25 p.m. A French communique reports that particularly violent artil- lery actione are taking place at various points on the front.

GERMAN OFFICER LOSSES

September 4, 7'25 p.m. . A Frenob communique says that the loss of German officers have much increased during recent months. The number killed, wounded and missing, from the beginning of the war to Jane 1, is 43,972, and the number to July 15 is 52,041.

QUESTION OF OFFENSIVE ON WESTERN FRONT.

September 4, 7.35 p.m. Colonel Barone, the foremost of Italian experts, who recently visited the western front, in a striking article carefully weighs the arguments of the supportere of an immediate offensive on the western front, and those favouring delay.

Colonel Barone unhesitatingly favours the latter, declaring that he agrees with the view of General Joffre, that in the present cir- onmstances a general off naive in the West can be delayed withont inconvenience, in order, that once it is begun, it may with certainty be carried out thoroughly without interruption.

Germany, by pushing her advance in Itugais, is marobing to cor- isin disaster nnd it is far better for the A'lies, in the West, to await

this event and then strike.

The Rassian General Staff is of the same opinion.

GERMANY AND ROUMANIA.

September 4, 4.40 a.m. According to Reuter's correspondent in Washington it is au- thoritatively known that Germany has intimated to the United States that overtures for s peace discussion would be acceptable to Berlin. It is certain, however, that President Wilson will not make far ther efforts for peace until Great Britain and ber Allies indicate their readiness to entertain them.
