The War Situation. -The ,principal item of Interest in the war eituation this week is the fact that Italy has crowed the Rubicon by de- clar1ng war against Austria, and has entered- actively Into The -conflict Ataly Ls a strong irllitary and 'flayal power and 'ithe influence her entrance into the war Well have _has yet tCrt be Proven. It IShould bav-C a tendency ta shorten The conflict. Aside from this there is reit 'much new to note. Fighting is still In (progress akmg all lines. In Northern France and Belgium things have been going favorably for the Aliles They caatinue pushing the Geerciens back and gaining „ground despite th neostdes- ' perate regiatance on the part of the Gertaans. The latter -Still continuer us- ing9their polsobous vapors and any progress they have made has been due largely Ito, the Use of this poison on their opponents. The Canadians still continue to cover theinselves with glory but at heavy coat of life and limb. Drirlr.g the past week the Canadiaes have ;had several encounters with: their opponents and have won and held sev- eral' draportarit positians. The casual- ties, however, have- been thea,vy. In (the East, While the Germane have made great 'gains during the past rrontia ithe Rasseans seem to have gath- ered themselves together 'aaain . and have isteremed the Gernian forward nareti and are now doing a little hat- ter than holding their own and are rehaletrio last ground. The Garrrans seem.. to have played their heaviest AranclAboth in the East and the West. This Splurge was undertaken, no doubt, Ito convince Italy that it had better con- tinue in. the neutral , columfl as the istreegth of Germany and her allies was rnot nearly 'exhausted, Having fail- ed lin this (Gerniaria andelier allies will more, in probability, fali . back and it looks as if the war had reached the beginning of the end, although Gerrrany still keep a stiff upper lip and `weans a bald face to the enemy. But there are evident signs of dis- trust and dissatisfaction arrong the Gerrra.n ,people. It 'oohs as If at last they :are caremencing ta get their eyes opened Ito the true situation and that the -Kaiser is losing his charm and his nxrwer. A few rroee reverses will streng- !then this feeling and ea soon as the people of Germaay lase confidence In the pewees of the Kaiser and his Prus- elan backers their cause is lost. rn the "Dardanelles the Allied forces .are still forging ahead. Progress Is Slew batsure. The fortresses af the ' Turks are being battered down by the iAllied war gems:while an the land, the Turkish forces have suffered .tr: any re- _yerses with discouraging losses. The Australians and New Zealanders are - proving tb ernselves as brave and skil- ful ifighters as their Canadia,n fellow colaritals. The +submarine blockade of the Brit- sish ports seems to have fizzled out and we hear little now of the submarine war. No British vessels liaise been sunk Ln (these waters during •the past • week. The reply of the German authorities to the nate from the United States respecting the sinking of the Lusltania, has `not yet beenmade public if it has Leen prepared. It* is said the German authorities bave •been so much upset by Italy entering the fighting ring that they have not had time to consider the United- States affatr, which ac- counts for the delay in reply. The politicians have pretty much di- vided public Interest with •the war lea's during the peat week. At the tireeethe war broke out aolitical affairs Were not in a very rsatisfactory con - Allan la the Mother . country. Indeed ti looked from the outside a If the country was qatthe eve of a civil war, The Ulsterite.s were up in arras against the constituted authority and were threaterdag al manner of tillage If Haire Rule were not dropped. But for this situation it is 'doubtful if Ger- many would have venttired to declare war. They were firmly impressed with the idea that Britaih, was in such a disturbed condition that she would not dare take a hand in a general melee and they accordingly thought the titre ripe for - them to achieve their long cherished dream of World eanqueet, They were, however, disappointed In this as in many other things. For no sooner was war declared than the John Bulls dropped their local differ- ences and united as one man la 'de- fence of the Mather land. A. political truce was declared and kept until the present time. The Government consulted with their 'former opponents as to the beet course to adopt for the general good. This counsel was freely and openly given and received. As a result England has had no- serious poIltical differences 'since the war commnead. But ft was felt by those in authority that the responaitellty :shauld, be more evenly divided and that it Would be E n the interests of the nation if the ablest men in the countai from both political parties were united in the one bond of union that the, war -could be prosecuted with greater Vigor and-suc- cces. Mr. Asquith, Premier, thersfore, proposed the formation or a Csalitton Government,/ and the proposition was endorsed by his, followers and appriv- ed of by the Copservathes or Unlonisls as they call therreelves.
