Fix this textThey captured several important trenches on
Fix this textthe English right. The French prisoners taken
Fix this textconsist of youths scarcely seventeen and old
Fix this textveterans. All make a pitiable impression. The
Fix this textEnglish show signs of lack of discipline and over
Fix this textexertion. Their commanders must use force in

Fix this textReuter’s Agency has received from a well-
Fix this textinformed Russian source the following review
Fix this textof the military situation of the Eastern front :
Fix this text“A mere list of names and of minor or major
Fix this textengagements presents so many difficulties to
Fix this textthe ordinary mind in grasping the situation
Fix this textthat it is well to take a general view of the
Fix this textmilitary position as it exists to-day in the
Fix this textEastern theatre of war, and to regard these
Fix this textoperations in their true perspective in relation
Fix this textto the task of the Allies against the common
Fix this textfoe. No Russian would be so foolish as to admit
Fix this textthat he prefers retreat to advance, but the
Fix this textthing to bear in mind—a fact often overlooked
Fix this text—is the real object we have in view—an object
Fix this textwhich may be truly said is being surely attained.
Fix this text“ This is in effect the killing of the enemy,
Fix this textand as long as the Austro-German armies
Fix this textagainst us lose more than we do—which is un-
Fix this textdoubtedly the case—so long shall we view the
Fix this textprogress of events with calm assurance. Whether
Fix this textthese losses are inflicted on this or that bank of
Fix this textsome river is immaterial, as is also the possibility
Fix this textthat the enemy may, as in the case of Przemyśl,
Fix this textrecapture what is really an empty shell, or even
Fix this textgo farther and occupy other positions. Such
Fix this textevents will not deter us from the prosecution
Fix this textof our grand object.
Fix this text“ The Russian Staff is quite aware of the
Fix this textobject of the enemy’s tremendous efforts, which
Fix this textis both political as well as military . Russian
Fix this textgenerals have never posed as prophets, they and
Fix this texttheir armies being sufficiently occupied in
Fix this textfighting for an object which will certainly be
Fix this textattained.
Fix this text“ A very significant fact which has attracted
Fix this textlittle notice, is the appearance of new German
Fix this textformations against us. The farther the enemy
Fix this textadvances, the greater becomes his difficulty,
Fix this textand the more he comes on equal terms with us,
Fix this textespecially in the matter of railway communica-
Fix this texttion. Let us not then talk of Russian defeats
Fix this textand reverses so long as the Tsar’s armies
Fix this textinflict the losses they are doing on the enemy,
Fix this textand continue to prevent, as they have done,
Fix this textthe Germans from achieving their real object.”
Fix this textThe war has touched Munich in a vital spot.
Fix this textThe military authorities have just confiscated
Fix this texta large part of the malt and other raw materials
Fix this textused for beer-making by the great breweries in
Fix this textthe Bavarian capital. Places like the world-
Fix this textrenowned Hofbrau and other beer resorts
Fix this textfamiliar to visitors to Munich have had to close
Fix this textseveral of their largest apartments, as the daily
Fix this textsupply of beer has been reduced to one-third of
Fix this textthe former quantity. The life of Munich is
Fix this textradically affected. Several of the prominent
Fix this text“ beer-cellars ” are now closing at 7 p.m., as the
Fix this textordinary evening demands for beer can no
Fix this textlonger be fulfilled. Such places as remain open
Fix this textlater are serving lemonade or wine. House-
Fix this textholders accustomed to send out for their beer
Fix this textmust henceforth secure it on the ration-card
Fix this textsystem. The newspapers state that the Munich
Fix this textpublic is facing its trials “ with good humour.”
