On the eastern front, the Russians have won victory after victory, and are far advanced in Galicia. More than 600,000 Austrians and Germans are said to be incapacitated, and there has been no serious permanent check to their great drive. But it is too soon to forecast a complete victory for General Brussiloff. A similar triumph marked the earlier Galician campaign. The sweep of the Russian armies seemed irresistible at that time, yet General Mackensen threw himself in front of the Russians and compelled them to retire. It remains to be seen whether German support can again save Austria from disaster. If not, it would seem that the war, after all, had entered upon its final stage.

It is hard and unromantic, but some of our gallant soldier boys now on the way to the order are likely to find out that police duty means something different from rushing belligerent Mexicans to the cooler.

Roosevelt's army is still waiting at the post, perhaps it is behind the post.

SEEN ON THE SIDE
Reliability.
What you don't, neighbor, sitting by the bed,
With your chair tilted back; hands behind your bed.  Got 110 work you ought to do before you feel so free?
It would pay you better far to be busy, just like me.
But my neighbor, with a wink, said: "Do not trouble me to think."
