developments in the avar the past week has seen more activity on the western front for some time past the germans attacked the british lines in the vicinity of ypres and carried the front line trenches along a front of something like 800 yards these trenches have changed hands many times and in fact this section of the front is said to have been called the international front part of the ground has been regained the canadians participated in the fighting and are said to have repulsed all attacks with comparatively slight loss the outstanding feature of the war news this week however has been the capture by the russians of the fortress of erzerum together with something like 1000 guns and immense supplies the position was taken by frontal attack after a five days siege this event is the most important recent development in the war operations the russians are reported to be striking southward with a view to cutting off the retreating turk ish garrison british reinforcements are on their way to meet the british relief expedition in mesopotamia in the meantime the beleagured british force at kutelamara is reported to be successfully holding the position and to have ample supplies for some time to come rumania has taken a position very much more favorable to the entente allies germany has resorted to threats in an attempt to keep that country neutral but as soon as russia can get her troops in such a position as to ensure rumania against invasion it seems probable that rumania will throw in her lot with the allies she has much to gain by an attack on bulgaria and her assistance would do much to turn the scale in the balkans the situation on other fronts is little changed there has been considerable activity on the part of air squadrons including another raid on the east coast of britain and an allied attack by air on strumnitza there seems to be a general feeling that big events are impending but their nature and magnitude arc not yet apparent
