GERMANS RENEW THEIR FURIOUS ONSLAUGHTS
AUSTRIANS MENACED IN THE TRENTINO Reports which are .now beginning to come in from correspondents on the Russian front givo special prominence to the brilliant exploits of Jhe cavalry in successfully following up the artillery storm, and various incidents are told to-day which go to show that in the advent of tho "white • ami" in modern warfare—belated as it is—cavalry may yet play a tremendous part in the final scenes of the fireat war, Tho Russian thrust at Kovel is being Btubbornly contested by the Germans, and positions have been taken and Tetaken. The advance of the Russians in Bukowina still continues. That part of Mauser's army which divided from the other by the rapidity of the Russian advance was thrust against the Rumanian frontier, has almost been pushed over the line, where the Ru- • manians are waiting, ready to dißarm them. On the Western front, the Germans at Verdun have resumed their furious attacks, but tho French are gallantly and with splendid tenaoity holding their, line, their counterattacks regaining for tho most part what tho Gwmans, at immense cost, have managed to take. There is a comparative calm on tho British, front. The Italians'are steadily developing their counter-offensive, and one Austrian army corps is reported—iii an unofficial statement—to have been hemmed in on threo sides. The terms of tho Entente's Note to Greece amount to a candid indictment of bad faith on tho part of the Gcrmanophilo Government, and is welcomed by the Venizclist Press as an indication of approaching freedom by constitutional means from the tyrannical methods of government by which King Constantino has flouted the country and trifled with the Allies. Th 6 Bulgarians are reported to be marching on important points on the Greek frontier.
