Its tone on the whole la free from irritation, but there is a strong disposition to argue the question The past week saw little material change In the European war situation. Slight gains have been made by the allies In Belgium, but nothing has been accomplished to substantiate a belief that the allien will be able to make effective use of their offensive until they have a greater numerical superiority over the enemy. The artillery Is playing the biggest part along the western front, although at points there has been close range fighting In which a few yards have been gained or lost. The Hermans deny the French re port that they have been driven out of part of the village of Steinbach, Upper Alsace, which has been the scene of aangulnary fighting for a week, the infantry finding cover be hind the houses. The situation In Southern Alsace Is obscure Paris lias claimed Import ant gains during the week in the fight for possession of the heights dominat ing the western road to Muelhausen, but llerlln denies the French success. The upper Alsivlnii fighting, In fact. Is oscillating ho constantly that I'arls ml llerlln may both he, right. French progress In the last province, at best. Is scarcely more rapid than the ad vance of the til lies In Flanders. Russia has changed the direction of her offensive during the week, and now apparently Is aiming at the cap ture of H" 'spest Instead of Berlin. The abandonment of the siege of Cra cow has been followed by a redistri bution of tli' czar's forces In Oallcia, which has resulted during the week in driving the Austrlans Into the Car pathian mountain. The alteration In Slav strategy has been caused by the growing difficulty of developlug any momentum for an Invasion of Prussia, coupled with the possibility of a Hungarian campaign which may produce an antl-Oorman uprising among the Magyars. Consequently, Russia's early ambl tlon to strike at Berlin now seems to 7rtcle Sam Offers All Americans a Chance to Feed Star-Ving "Belgium Arrangements Made For Sending Parcel Post Packages From Rural Districts.

Elsewhere In the east the week has been quiet. The German army before Warsaw has not succeeded In advanc ing within striking distance of the Polish capital. It has spent the week In Its trenches, while fnrther north the Russians have prevented the Ger man East Prussian army from moving toward the Vistula. There have been engagements on the Hivers Bzura and Itawka, in Po land, but seemingly the Germans are no nearer Warsaw than they were a week ago. They have begun offen sive operations In the direction of Klelce, one of the largest towns of southern Poland, which doubtless has for Its object the holding up of the Russian advance through Galltia on Cracow. Another attempt on the part of the Germans to advance from Mlawa to divert the Russian threat to outflank their center by crossing the lower Vis tula, northwest of Warsaw, has been checked by the Russians. According to Petrograd reports, the Russians continue to sweep the Aus trlans westward along the southern Oallclan railway toward Grybow and Neusauilec and out of the northern foothills of the Carpathians. The Muscovites also are credited with hav Ing organised a now campaign against Hungary, advancing In four columns along the mountains This, It Is said, will not he like previous raids, but will be a regular Invasion. The destruction of the British bat tleshtp Formidable during the week demonstrated anew the remarkable ability, from a naval standpoint, of the Oermans, coupled at the same time with emphasis on the comparatively unimportant results achieved. The British admiralty's refusal to declure where the Formidable went down probably Is due to the apparent fact that the disaster occurred off Ports mouth. rKWii McCoy Brothers, Grocers LITERACY TEST REMAINS IN IMMIGRATION BILL Senate Passes Measure by Vote of 50 to 7 Despite Attitude of President Wilson Who May Veto.
