WAR SITUATION REVIEWED.
ENEMY'S WITHDRAWAL METHODICAL. (Australian find N.Z Cable Association i (Received September 7, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 6. Generally speaking, there is no evidence thai the German command has not kept tlie situation art liand, although it has made demands .on the troops which canot be continued indefinitely without grave risk. The enemy front has been generally maintained intact, and the withdrawal, even if hastily carried out, has been fairly methodical, although with the loss of an enormous amount of material. The situation m the East is still obscure, but the. Czechs have probably obtained control of the whole transSiberian railway. Allied forces, including Russians, are pushing down the Vologda railway. The feeling m Finland - against fighting the Allies appeal's to be growing. The Finn army is full of mutiny and discontent, but the Germans are still pushing forward communications northwards towards Petchenka and eastwards towards the White Sea. Much bitterness prevails m Finland against the Germans exploiting the country.
