RUSSIAN ROUT.
PETROGRAD SHOCKED. DRASTIC MEASURES TO BE TAKEN. BRITISH FRONT. PREPARATIONS FOR BIG OFFENSIVE. Details of the Russian rout on the south-western front continue to trickle through. Though the position is bad it might be much worse. The disaffection appears to he confined to one army, the eleventh, but of course their cowardice is bound to shake the morale of the other forces. Drastic measures are being taken to deal with the traitors. Although the British reports indicate no unusual activity on the West front, the Germans appear to be convinced that a big offensive is about to bo launched, and the artillery battle in the coastal regions is described as exceeding anything of the kind which has yet taken place.
