The news from Italy and Russia is also favourable. The

Italians gained a considerable success on the Trentine front on Tuesday. Near Mount Ortigara they captured strong positions and took 936 prisoners. The wish of the Russian Government to renew the offensive becomes increasingly plain. This is proved not only by the expulsion of the irregular German peace envoy, Herr Grimm, and by the declaration of the Duma, but by tho announcement of General Brussiloff published in the papers of Thursday. This justly renowned General, in answer to Sir William Robertson, who congratulated him on his appointment as Commander-in-Chief, pledges himself that the Russian Armies " will not fail."
