SUCCESS AT MANY POINTS

PRISONERS AND GUNS TAKEN.

HEROIC FIGHTING BY COSSACKS.

GREEK ARMY MOBILISING.

The Russians have successfully attacked the enemy at points in a line extending from Vileika, 6S miles southeast of Vilna, to well into Galicia. At Vileika they captured several guns. South of the Pripet they recaptured villages, and at Luck, in Volhynia, they stormed several positions, and recaptured the town, taking an additional 4000 prisoners. To the south of Luck, and over the Galician border below Trembovla, the Russians continue successful.

There has not been much activity on Gallipoli during the past week. Allied warships bombarded the Asiatic coast. The Turkish artillery is sometimes silent for days, suggesting a lack of ammunition. A wireless message issued from Berlin affirms that the allies haTe assembled 110.000 new trcvps at Mudros.

Artillery activities continue on the western front. The French repulsed two attacks in Lorraine. Brithti aircraft dropped bombs on the German communications at Valenciennes, north-east of Cambrai, destroying the railway line at several places. The Italians have stormed a strong Austrian position in the Trentino. The King of Greece has issued a decree of mobilisation as a measure of prudence in view of the Bulgarian mobilisation. Twenty classes are being called to the colours, which, with the men now under arms, will give 300,000. The King and M. Venizelos are said to be in complete agreement-

In the absence of definite news regarding Bulgaria's policy, diplomatic circles emphasise that there is no antiBritish feeling in that State. Negotiations with the allies will continue as before. The fighting strength of Bulgaria is stated to be 250,000 infantry, 6000 horsemen, and 100,000 reserves. lhe French newspaper Le Temps estimates the total Austrian, German, and Turkish losses at six and a*half millions, of which four millions are permanently out of action.
