Rhine is far more formidable I than was anticipated.
In the east Count Berchtold's resignation as Austro-Hurigarian foreifeh
minister and oresident of the! Austrd-Huncarian ministerial council, is
the week s most significant war development. Count Berchtold is the
creator of the present war, because it was on his advice that the terms
of the Austrian ultimatum to Servia were so worded -las to be unaccept
able. He is a representative jof the ruling German caste in the dual
monarchy and on him has been thrown the responsibility for the meagre
defense of Hungary.
HUNGARIAN REVOLT THREATENS
Threats of a Hungarian revolt, because of German indifference "to
Russia's invasion of the Magyar territory apparently have finally forced
Austria to capitulate to Hungarian pressure The appointment of Baron
Kaiecz. a Hungarian, to succeed Count Berchtold. guarantees to the Mag
yars that Budapest s interests ao longer will be subordinated to Berjin's.
Turkey has taken revenge durinz. the week for her Caucasian defeat
by invading Persian territory and capturing Tabriz, the center of Russia's
sphere of influence in northern Persia. The military valufc of Tabriz
is negligible, but Russia must regain the city, or see her prestige in Persia
suffer. Ihus, an unwelcome diversion is forced on the Slavs; while bar
gaining power; of much value will be given the Turks, if they can retain
Tabriz until the end of the war. . '
Italy has been quick to decline all foreign aid for her earthauake vic
tims before any assistance has been offered. This means the Roman gov
ernment does not expect to permit a domestic catastrophe to influence
Italy s foreign policy, and consequently refuses to ,be under sentimental
obligations to any of the belligerent powers.

German Victory Denied.
German claims ot sweeping victories
over the French- troops, are dismissed
wtth contempt by military officials
tonight. Twice today the war office
has seen fit to discuss the German
claims of a second Gravelotte. Each'
time it has been to reassure France
and to declare that the ground; ceded
north of the Aisne was of no conse
quence and that the German . claims
of 5000 dead and 5000 prisoners, were
figments Of the imagination.
No attempt is being made by war
officials to hide the fact that the Ger
mans are ort the offensive, not only
In the triangle of the Oise and the
Aisne, but In the north from La Basse
to the coast. They have been -unable
to accomplish much. A few outlying
trenches have been ceded to them be
cause of the French policy ot ! safe
guarding their main positions and sav
ing their meh. At no point, however,
have the Germans developed a I weak
spot, where they could hope to break
through the allied cordon that! runs
from the sea into uppfer Alsace.
Afilea Position Excellent, i
"The position of tha allies was never
better at any time since this war be
gan," said Minister of War MiUerand
tonight. 'The Germabs continue! their
policy Of sacrificing men against po
sitions Which they cannot hope to
Carry. This policy of the officers is
naturally affecting the. morales 6f tha

to us when we resume the offensive."
