The weaknesses of several allies operating in the field are often very apparent; but so far in the present campaign the Tripls Entente has much reason for satisfaction.

Servia has valiantly this work. With th:
Turks joined in a new aspect was presented, but, to say the least, they are now effectively held in check. The position, therefore, is that Great Britain and her alli have checked the aggressors France Germany's offensive has been broken; Austria-Hungary has been acting on the defensive for months; in Poland Russia is able to consolidate her position and when she advances again will do so in infinitely better circumstances than before; while the Turkish invasion of Egypt would seem hardly likely to materialize. What, therefore, would be more sound than for the Allies to interchange ideas and decide upon definite, common principles, each re the strength or weakness of other? Germany has already consolidated her strategic plans by taking over control of the Austro-Hungarian army.
