by the Allies’ guns has silenced
the German batteries at Mont-

mare,

Squadrons of French aviators

have bombarded the railway
stations and military depots at
Bensdorff, .Chatel, in Argonne,
and Langemarcke.

Enemy’s Great Losses
Petrograd: It is reported that
the losses of the enemy in Russia
in the last two months aggregate
- 465,000 men.
Successes attending theRussian
arms at various points on the
front have increased the feeling
of confidence, and although Von
Hindenburg still threatens the
railway near Dvinsk, no alarm is
felt. ‘The campaign in Courland
is proving very costly to the
Germans, and is likely to prove
futile.

K of K is Optimistic __
London: Justifying Kitchen-
er’s optimistie remarks in parlia-
ment regarding Russia, the Czar’s
troops are assuming the offensive
atmany points. Stubborn battles
are in progress along the battle-
front from Riga to the Roumanian
border, ‘ While towards the north
the Germans are advancing slow-
ly, their rush in Poland appears
to be checked by the Russians,
and in the south the Austrians
are being driven further back,
Hopes are rising that Lord
Kitchener was also justified in: his
declaration that Germany. had
shot her bolt,
Russia’s decision to: attach the
reserves ‘and territorials. to, the
colors is regarded as highly im-

to her active strength.

': Petrograd: Over six thousand
Austro-Germans have been cap-

the fighting of the last few days
on 4 part of their front, exclusive
of killed and wounded, indicating
that the Czar's armies are more
a than holding their ‘own against
