Flaying a losing game on the
west front of w*ar, and with no
hope of making an encouraging
■hcwisg lor the discouraged people
»t home, Germany h:i6 recently in
duced a mors hopeful feeling by
i'a operations on the Russian. and
Italian fronts. While the British
and French are still "nibbling" the
German positions in France and
Belgium, Russian, resistance has
vractically ceased, the German ar
mies oa Vhe east front have been
th.noed down to a mere patrol or
ganization and, the "shock uuits"
flave been shifted to the Isonzo din-,
trlct. where, in co-operation with
the Austrians, they have driven the!
I'aliaa armies back of the Tallia- J
rneiuo river, and claim the capture
of 126,000 prisoners and l,5uu guns
Oa the heels of this comes .Mr.
&«r«nsky e statement that Russia
J* weary, aad claims, "as her right,
tha' the other allies now shoulder
the burden of war."
Russia haj been of no assistance I
to the allies for almost a year, and
for six months no considerable num
ber ct German soldiers have been ]
utilized oa its war front.
The Italian situation is undeniabl
critical, so much so that British and
Freuch soldiers have been sent to
assist the Italian army. There is
m> lack of allied soldiers, and in
this they have a very great advant
age over the Teutons. Germany wil
b«* halted somewhere in the Italian
zone, and the deadly struggle be
tween stubborn and courageous men
will ba resumed. The net effect
of Germany's late advance, upon
the allies, will be the employment
it gome hundreds of thousands of
Bri'ish and French soldiers on the
Italian front and the practical loss
if all Rumanian territory by the
jrobabla withdrawal ef the Russian
lefeasiv® army,
iieanwhile Germany has sacrifice
terhapa 60,000 of its soldiers, and j
.ha disparity of its man power whenj
ompared with the. allies is danger
uslif accentuated. The spring equs.*j
