In the Eastern theatre of the war the week has

been marked by Russian advances of the most encouraging kind. With a gallantry and determination of the type which always dis- tinguishes the Russian Army at its best, the type described in an article in to-day's issue dealing with the character of Suvarov, our allies have been fighting a great battle in the Bukovina. They are reported to have taken some ten thousand prisoners and inflicted very heavy casualties, amounting, it is said,.to well over a hundred thousand, upon the Austrians, who hold that part of the line. At the moment there seems to be a lull in the conflict, but even if for the time the Russian advance is stayed, a fine piece of military work has been accomplished.
