. In the Eastern theatre of the war the news
continues to be excellent. The successful German advance in East Prussia appears to have spent itself, and unless reports are too optimistic, which we do not believe, the Russians are again advancing and making real progress. In Galicia the Russians are slowly but steadily mopping up the remains of the Austrian Army, which only six weeks ago was penetrating Poland, and in the centre the threatened German advance is petering out. Serbia again is showing renewed activity after her victories, and we may very soon hear of big things in Bosnia. At the same time, the Montenegrin attack by land and the Allies' attack by sea on Cattaro look very much as if the operations there would soon draw to a successful issue. Altogether, the prospect in the East is bright, and if it is not yet sunrise, the dawn is beginning to break.
