The announcement of the Wolff bur- | eau, if true, has an important bear-} ing on the situation in western Asia, | and, possibly even in India. The peace} terms forced upon Russia at Bre: ovsk took away from Russia dis in the Cis-Caucasian region, through which it would ‘be possidle for Ger- manic allies to gain entrance from the Black Sea or Turkey into Persia. Pas- sage through Persia probably would meet with only nominal opposition, while a still further advance into Af- ghanistan would be possible.

American Trenches Raided The American lines near Toul are just to the southeast of Verdun and) the continued activity along this front shows that the Germans contemplate! serious operations there. Raids in} force| such as were met by the Am- ericans with the utmost fortitude and completely repulsed, have not been re- peated, but German aviators are con- tinually over the American lines, spy- ing out ammunition dumps, locating of | guns and the disposition of the Ameri-| can forces. It is revealed in late reports that the retirement of the Germans from Narve, west of Petrograd, was a re-| sult of sucessful resistance made by | Russian forces at the city of Jamburg, 6 miles southwest of the Russian capital. This resistance may he only a local instance of the disposition of the Bolsheviki government to fight against further invasion of great Rus- sia, but it points to the fact that the Russians are still capable of conduct-| ing’a defense which is effective. i Want Kaiser's Son for Throne.
