The eastern front began to give way a year _ago this month, when following Kerensky’s truce with Russia, the Bolshevikis over- i turned his government and immediately declared that Russia was out of the war so far as fighting Germany WaS C0I1Ce1‘r1ed. Since then Russia has become disintegrat-. ‘ ' _ ed, Siberiahas set up an' independent government, Poland has restored her regal I `r"`\"lf~"i rights and called a German prince to the throne. Finland has thrown in her lot ~ §\ T " with th_e_ Allies, and has sent her sons to fight with them‘. The Czech and Slovak ~ \\ nationalities have openly declared for the Allies :-While for the others, “they don‘t ' \ v * \ know where they are,” but when they arenot fighting among themselves they are \ assisting Germany in an indirect way to get a foothold in the former Empire of the » i ii* 5 ` Czar of all the Russians. I ` Z On the western front, the Germans,reinforced by the withdrawal of troops from the east, began on March 21st an offensive which resulted in the Allies gradu- . ~ ally withdrawing their forces to a line which protected the Channel ports and Paris, and there they remained firm, until last molnlthfvi/hleln in the southern" sector the Germans made a determined attempt to break through to gain a route to Paris, via the southern side of the Marne. General Foch, with General Magnin in immediate - . * \ ¢lh'¢%a‘¢`¥¢`f¥¢¥¢§’¢1‘¢¥¢5°¢§¢§¥b‘¢%:*r%§iE*&¥*2'¢‘k‘%¥+i¢¢i‘¢?i§‘¥¢%‘¥¢§i$>1¢ *E >1¢ ¢R¥£i¢E¢E%§ I command, checked this onslaught and by means of a counter offensive drove the Germans back. At the present writing the prospects are that there will be a pitch- ed battle in the Soissons-Rheims sector, in which the Germans will get the worst of it. In Italy, General Foch’s hand was also seen in the offensive against the Aus- trians. The Central Powers got badly beaten and withdrew, leaving the Italians in uncontested control. ~ In Albania, the Allied forces commenced a new offensive and quickly drove the enemy back, capturing many prisoners and munitions. Latest news indicates that the beastly malarial climate has played havoc with the Allied troops, and they have been compelled to give up part of the territory they had taken. This can only be a temporary set-back, however, as the reports are that Greek troops, more accus- _tomed to' the vicissitudes of the climate, will be before long able to take the offens- ive. ‘ ' As promised by Admiral Jellico, the U-boat menace has been thwarted “by August," and now there is no fear of Britain being starved into subjection as the Germans contemplated when first they commenced their wholesale murder campaign in the open seas. More U-boats have been sunk than have been built, while more I mmnn$fm5mmJ“" I* c’ """" c“"”-T-““ *I¢¢5=‘I¢§"¢¢il+ sssswasssssassaesseasssasasaaagannan ¢1?¢§¢§¢§¢£2¢§%`5¢§4i?¢£¢5€1‘i¢5éi?>‘5r¢.`<¢5¢i=¢n“$§»:"i‘§éé=~'%%?E§¥l5é"n~é§i*i§¢5¢$§!i¢l§ asasafeaasaaasaassaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaa $¥¢$$$¥é¥¢?¢%§¥¥¢'¥¢&¥8l¢§lf¢¢¥5¢5¥§¥¥¢‘l¥' &'¢&¥§¥§¥¥¢$%5¢§¢¥¢9'¢§¥5‘»‘»?'¢ I I \ , i nn-1 %¥5¢f?'¢¥¢¥¢al'M¥%$¥9'¢¥¢¢i¥¥¢¥¢5¥~‘¢¢7¢$f¥¢%%¥¢§¢¥¢¥¢§Vé ¥¢~‘J¥¥¢$'=€%¥¢F¢¢$ ii* 4? %¥§¥¥¢%¥¥¢2if¥¢¥§i饢5ff$52*¥¢5ff%-§¥%‘#¥¢t'¢%¥$¢¥¢§¢§l¢i¥5'¢$if%%¥¢§¥ =¥=¥¥¢=¥&‘E$'¢=¥¥¢¥¢5ifS%f¥¢¥¢¥¢%§‘¢¥¥%%%=¥r¥:‘¥:’¢5¢%§&5¢%5¢a'¢§¢¥¢$¢5& ¢£¢k$# ik#$7R¢5¥¥¢5$¥$$'¥¢5¥&%$¥-$¢$¥~¥%i$%%¢£%¢F i(¢ a $4# $53? fi* iid# =’¢=‘¢ $5* 1|_n_| ' | ' ' l HIS MOST GRACIOUS IVIAJESTY KING GEORGE V. *assess* assess# assesses HIS HONOR LIEUT.
