leig WAR SITUATION
Russia still holdthe .cerddet of the
stage in the wail news for the week.
-
Although Russia has accepted Ger-
many's peace terms and the agree-
ment has been signed, it is like all
other of Germany's promises, only
made to be broken and her troops are
continuing their inroads into Russia.
Some opposition, is being placed in
the path of the invaders, but .as yet
this oppositon has not been stiff en-
ough to stay the progress of the en-
emy. The Russian resistance, hew -
Over, is growing and considerable
fighting has taken place around the
town os Pshov, =I the town is report-
ed to have changed hands several
times. As it is, estiniated there tire
soniewhere in the neighborhood of two
hundred million of dollarworth a
supplies at Pshov, the rapid movement
a Germans arms in this direction can
readily be understood and. if she suc-
ceeds in capturing them it will be a
rich prize indeed. Fortunately the,
Russians at last seem to be awakene'
ing to the dangers of their position
and heavy reinforcements have been
Sent forward and the railways into the
town are being thoroughly guarded.
If only the Russians would continue
to stiffen the opposition, a compara-
tively small body of troops could make
it very interesting for Germany who
as yet have only a thin line of troops
in their advance and to increase the
number she would have to advance her.
armies from her fortifi.ed positions into
, the open w&tre her line of cononunica-
tions -would be very hard to maintain
"owing to the distance, lack of trans-
portation and the approaching beak
up of winter and once these lines were
cut_ it would not take a day to make
her wish that her army- was back in
their fortified trenches, again. No
xnatter, however,. what an opportunity
it would be to deal the enemy a serious
blow, it is altogether too m.uch to ex-
pect that the. Russians will take ad-
vantage of it, The country is utterly
demoralized, her people in dietricts
and even some in Petrograd are starv-
ing, and anarchy and civil war are
raging, and the bestthe Allies can look
for is that her troops Put up at least a
show of resistance to the invaders.
There. have been persistent reports re-
cently that Japan was about to take
the field in Siberia, but Whether or not
this is true has not been. announced
from headquarters. The most prob-
able aira of such a move on the part
of Japati would be to safeguard the.
immense quantities'of Allied suppliee.
that have been 'shipped into the Rus-
sian port of Vladivostok, and which,
with the troubled state of the country,
stand an imminent danger of ...being
lost unless some strong measures are
taken.
From the Western fron;t there is
little to report. Apart from the con-
stant raiding that goes on at differ-
ent points along the line and the un-
ceasing: artillery fire there has been
no movement for weeks. The great
German offensive timed for Febru-
ary has not materialized and is now
seheduled for next month. Weather
conditions , have greatly improved on
the West -and the ground is rapidly
drying, so that if the Germans are as
ready to deliver the Allies as smash-
ing a blow as they are boasting they
can not delay very much longer. .
The Allies still maintain the sup;
remacy of the air on the Western
front. The British Air Ministry an-
nounced on Tuesday last that seven-
ty-five ,enemy aircraft were brought
down by the Royal Flying Corps on
the Western front from February 1st
to the 22nd inclusive, During the
same period thirty-nine enemy air-
craft were driven. dawn out of control
and SiN enemy aircraft were brought
down by anti-aircraft defences and in-
fantry. Against these 128 machines
- the enemy 28 of the Allies are
missheg`
On the Italian front since the arriv-
al of the British airmen to the present
tirxte 58 hostile machines, principally
German, have been destroyed, The
Britis losses for the same period were
eight.

The market was 'fairly active, but
really choice stuff was scarce. Hogs
were steady at around *20 per 100
pounds, although trading was Some-
what slow, owing to the fact that
drovers were asking higher figures
than buyers seemed disposed to pay

changes in the prices from last week's
quotations, and that part of the mar-

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, Feb.
26.-A drop of 25c in valnes for all
grades .of butcher steers and heifers
except a few extra choice cattle was
recorded this morning. The market
opened steady, but the more4ng had
not advanced far before the weaker
prices came into operation, . and the
trade was inclined to be slow at the
decline. Six exceptionally choice heavy
steers cashed in at $12.85, and. a few
baby beeves from $12.35 to $13, which
values corresponded with those the
same cattle would have fetched last
week, but the steers and heifers ordi-
narily termed choice butchers down to
the common quality were all affected
by the cut, choice butchers selling
from $11.75 to $12 at the erose and
choice butchers from $11,85 to $11.50
Trade. in bulls and cows was steady,
but not so active as last mid -week
Stockers and feeders were a meagre
but firm trade, and there was a good
demand for best milkere and springers
at steady prices, which was not sat-
isfied owing to the limited shipment of
beat cows.
Two small lots of extra choice lambs
t
•
sold at $19.25, but lite general to

round 41845, which, quality consider-
ed, was a -slightly stronger trade;
