'rho oat-mans despatch to the Daily Chronicle says: The situation on the Russian front is growing better everyday. The Ger- man offensive is paralyzed and the Russians are gradually recovering the initiative. As the result of flve` months' campaign the Germans not only have not succeeded in forcing the Russian army to its knees, but have also failed even to reach a secure_line,' entrenching themselves on which for the winter they could concentrate their main attention on other fronts. It so' happened the other fronts claim the most earnest attention at the moment, when the German front in Russia is mostawkwardly placed between twp strong defensive lines, and when tho. Rullillilafmy has to a large extent regained its striking power. The Ger- mans hope to shake off the terrible and costly burdg of the Russian cam- paign before _w ter. It may be assumed that they counted on establishing themselves firmly on the BU'°l1S line of the Dvlna-Berezlna- Dnieper, but their calculations have been falsified at the exact psychologic- lli l1l0l110ll% when the Allies struck hard ll!

The Russians have driven the Ger- mans out of the trenches, and south ol Dvinsk a stiff battle is proceeding around Novo Alexandrovsk. Add to this fact that on the line of the lakes running Parallel with the Vilna-Dvinsk railway the Russiigls are slowly bdt surely advancing and it will be seen that the enemy's hope of forc- ing Dvlna is certainly no brighter than it was a month ago.

In Flanders the action has been mainly of artillery. The guns have roared continuously for the last two days. Further south a terrific combat is existing. According to information from the frontier events are happening, on the issue of which hangs the fate of the Germans in Belgium and perhaps also in Northern France. Their whole present position is endangered by the recent successes of the Allies between Ypres and Arras. From this point of view the decision is trembling in the balance.

The unlca TUPIE e _ _ labor recruiting committee issued a manifesto in which it asked for 30,000 recruits as the week’s total, which is not likely to be reached in view of the huge drafts of men already levied. At the cabinet council of Tuesday this figure was unexpectedly raised-to about 35,000. A number of labor leaders in parlia- ment, including Arthur Henderson, are now inclined to favor conscrip- tion. There was a good deal of ex- citement in the housel while the cabi- net was in session. It was a matter, of general .knowledge that a serious position had been reached and there were various rumors of_ a deadlock and resignatiolis, but these were only in anticipation of the possibilities.

The movement, he said, sd taken a firm hold in in the other rovinces and the outlook was very large and influential meeting was held in Halifax and considerable interest was manifested in tho project. If it were not absolutely necessary that the funds of the Red Cross Society should be largely augmented the pro sent world-wide appeal would not havg been made. In June last the Brit!!! Soclety’s expenditure was at the rate of $15,000 a day. If that amount was needed then, what, asked His Honor, must be the expenditure now? This was the first occasion on which the British Red Cross Society had appeal- ed to the Empire for subscriptions, and he hoped the result of the move- ment here would be a credit to Prince Edward Island. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald said that he saw by the books of account that this Province had collected over $11,000. which money had been sent en bloc to the Treasurer in Toronto \nd by him forwarded to the proper authori- ties in England.
