IT IS A GREAT BATTLE.
"Battle has been joined once more between Slav and Teuton," says the Petrograd correspondent of the Morning Post "It is not, perhaps, the decisive fight, but at any rate it is a great battle. It covers a front extending from the Baltic to Bukovina — a distance of nearly a thousand miles. "There is general sense of relief in Russia at the fact that the great battle has at length been joined, and all experiences of the past twelvemonth inspire confidence in the issue. The Germans are fighting where it suits the Russians, not on ground chosen by themselves. The Germans are compelled to make innumerable frontal attacks, which, thanks to their methods of attack, promise an almost equal disaster whether victory or defeat ensues."
