INTERESTING LIGHT ON EPIC BATTLE

THE GERMAN PLAN AND ITS RESULTS TROTSKY'S AMAZING IMPUDENCE A perceptible easing of tho crisis on the Cambrai front is reported by Mr. Philip Gibbs to-day, although, he says, it is yet too soon to estimate the decisive lesults of tho German counter-offensive and' the British parrying strokes. A high military authority sheds some interesting light on tho German plan of attack, which, he says, was good,'-but in actual results failed at two essential points. The Germans, ho says, scored by their stroke on our right flank, and their success at this point of their attack may necessitate a readjustment of the northern flank. The German claims to large captures of pri* soners and guns may, he adds, be taken with a grain of salt. Mean- • while there is a lull, but a resumption of the German attacks is predicted by one of tho correspondents. Tho situation in Russia is rapidly approaching tho point where Bolshevik anarchy must give place to law and order and the recognition of the rights of property. Trotsky to-day, in a brazen statement, asserts with impudent assurance that he is indifforent to the opinions of tho Allied Powers on the aims and methods of the Bolshovik Administration, and that their opinions of the armistice negotiations do not interest him. Korniloff is reported to have escaped, and is now making his way south, supported by four Cossack companies. There is no change in the Italian situation. Tho Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate has adopted the motion for the declaration of war on Austria.
