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. A 0Oal1'1011
