m. The latest official hews from Petrograd gives some indication that Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's drive toward the Baltic port of Riga has again been checked, and that nearer the center of the German line, German counter attacks have been repulsed. Fighting on the left (bank of the Styr continues, and the Russians assert they have made further captures of large numbers of men. In the Caucasus lively actions in which cavalry is taking an important part, axe reported. Vienna acknowledges Austrian troops have retired in Galicia under the pressure of superior Russian forces.

The status of political affairs in the Balkans is almost equal" in inter- est to the military situation. The belief is growing here that neither Greece nor Rumania is likely to enter the war; aty least unless the entente allies gain some decisive success. Greece apparently regards this as more important than the offer of the island of Cyprus, and it is feared in Athens that the allied troops have! come too late into the Balkan field. Bombardment of the Bulgarian coast by an allied fleet raises hopes in England that the entente powers will not be content with landing troops in Saloniki but may cause enough of a diversion elsewhere to engage a considerable body of Bulgarian troops. It is expected that the arrival at the Dardanelles of General Sir Charles Monroe, the new com mander of the expeditionary force, will be accompanied with new military activity on the Gallipoli peninsula.
