GERMANS ROUTED AND BROKEN

RUSSIANS MARCHING ON BRESLAU. ORAGOW AFLAME. FROSTY ALLY FROM THE NORTH. HEROES OF THE YBER. WHEN THE GERMANS EMERGE. FRIGHTFUL MELEE PREDICTED. BRITAIN’S FINANCIAL MIGHT. It is evident that the loss of the Bulwark has raised some doubts in England as to the watchfulness or efficiency of tfie Navy. Lord Charles Beresford. however, who is not wont to scatter compliments around promiscuously, gives his personal guarantee for the British tar. Incihe draws a lurid and ghastly picture of the conflict when the Germans do emerge from their refuge. A grim and uncompromising ally of the Russians is marching up from the North in the shape of Winter. In the fact that they are better prepared than the Germans, they are more inured to cold. There is a good deal to-day from the Russo-German seat of war, - which in an early message tells of the frantic attempts of the German host to escape an enveloping movement and the being made upon them from ail points of the compass. But a far more sensational account of Russian success comes from Rome. According to this the Germans and the Austrians have had their communications with each other cut, the Germans have been rolled back defeated and disorganised and the Russians are marching rapidly on Breslau and other important German cities. If this be true the inference drawn that the campaign there has nearly reached the decisive stage is quite allowable. We devoutly hope it may have. The last defences of Cracow arc down, and a part of the city is in flames. There is not much news from France to-day. Some of what we are getting, however, indicates how packed with fate was the recent terrible conflict at Ypres. . Britons, Indians, and French, however, fought together with a heroism that has not been surpassed in the wars of the whole world.
