THE WAR SITUATIbN Another week has passed by witheut bringing, us the always expected news of a new German attack, but white the enemy delays the new offensive, the Allies have not been idle.1 Since the last German offensive, despite the absence of actions of a largeeecale, the French troops have harasCed the enemy by many minor operations, hu - proved their positions and captured numerous prisoners. Since June 15th, thenumber of prisoners taken, with the co-operation .of American troops, who have been especially distinguish- ing themselves, is 5,400, including 69 officers. On the British front the success ha S been equally pronounced and the Germa- n army on the Somme are occupying anything' but an envi- able position. They are 110W hemined in to the river bed of the Anere and repeated attempts to take the slopes held by the British have been futile, In fact little by little they lost the gains made in their recent offensive in this sector, and now have nothing behind thern but the desert of the old Somme battlefield, where they must live as best they can under harassing shell fire. South of this the Germans have suffered constantly from the attacks of the Australians, who 'raid their positions day after day, taking pris- oners and inflicting heavy castia-lties, until the Germans have been forced to give up every bit of rising ground from which their last attack was de- livered. Instead of gaining ground towards Amiens, the great Allied de- pot', the Geranms are pang the ,other way and they must see by now that the long promised offensive which was to end the war, has not materialized, at least for them. On the Italian front also, the igains: are an with the- Allies, the Austriane having •euffered severe losses in both men and material during the week, and the Italians are still carefully but steadily going forward. Indications are very plentiful too that the rela- te:one- between the Germans and Atis- trians are not any too codthal. After the Austrian failure in the recent of- fensive, Germany tried to force a change in the command of the Aus- trian army by placing rale of their own generals at the head of affairs, but this the Austrians- would not stand for. Austria, however, is pretty- much under the German heel, and whether they will be able to bold out or not remains to be seen. In the meantime Italy and the Allies are reaping- the beaefit. A British transport, containing 1460 Canadian soldiers, made tip of differ- ent drafts feten units in this country went ashore in a dense fog near en Atlantic port on Sunday morning last and although.a heavy sea was running at the time, and the ship .is likely to prove a total lose, not a life -was lost, the men maintaining marvellous dis- cipline and all were safely disemb- barked.

Dear Mother and' A11, -Well here is another week in and I 'am still on leave; over two weeks now, so that is ...doing pretty well, don't you think? I have just been figuring and find that I have Wad consideratly over two months leave since 1, joined' the air service last November. Too tpich altogether, when' everything is so expensive; in fact it takes some figuring as to how to make both ends meet. 1 should be thankful though, while I can, -for when I get down to the Mediterranean, I won't have any for over a year. I will ge# itin then though*, so it be. much better. The;e has been Bp Can- adian mail 'in yet, except one or two stragglers. My last from home was the beginning of April and now it is the middle of June. There has been an awful lot lost lately on the way over, so probably that will account for it. I see where Sir Robert has arrived in town. The Canadians must be go- ing back in the lines again. They have been out during Fritz's last of- fensive, thank goodness. One good thing about Sir Robert's arrival is that it heralds another mail. You will think that is about all 1- worry about. Well 1 know what station I am going to now down, east. Have you ever heard of Malta? . A litle island stuck out in the middle of the sea, not far from the toe of Italy. That'is where I am going to start my war. It is a nice war down there with no Germans to worry about and a fine station to live in. You know that Maltai" is a great naval and militare base' and is, taking it all round, a quite civilized place and since it is our biggest and best station in the east 1 may emit myself rather lucky. I would have liked Alexandria or Italy though, but I should be thankful that I did not go to Galipoli. There are about 4 doz- en of us ging altogether and we are scattered all over the plar.e. We are going by train through Franse and Italy so will have a great trip ()tier but T am not looking forward to it much, as travelling through France at present isn't especially nice and we will have about five days of it. r am 'back in khaki now, and stored my naval uniform at the Royal Auto- mobile Club on Pall Mall.
