ALMOST INDEPENDENT SUPPLY
SF
There is comparative quiet on the Sornnie front, but lively fighting is reported in the Verdun area. The Russians are still progressing- in the Galician area, where the 'Austrians admit a further retirement. Captured enemy officers declare that peace terms are being discussed by the Army heads, and that the terms, failing success on the field, include restoration of territory and an indemnity. If they are acceptable, Germany will then prepare for another war. The British Minister of Munitions declares that the British Army is equipped with entirely modern weapons, imd that we are now independent of American supplies of light shells, and would shortly be able to supply all heavy shells. The King has visited the front in France, and in a message to the troops emphasises his pride in them. A new British loan for about £'50,000,000 has been issued in [America.' ■
