Who can promise that if the Russians are now driven back they will not return as formidable as ever next spring? And Franco is still ardent with righteous fury and resolution; Britain and France declared that the Somme ofr fensive was only a fragment of the coming great offensive; only the future can show whether this is an empty boast.
