A despatch from London says; The Daily Mail's corresposdent at The Hague telegraphs that he learns from a trustworthy source that Col. Ostertag, the German military at- tache at The Hague, and formerly at- tache at London, whose sudden de- parture from the' Dutch capital a few days ago occasioned surprise in diplomatic circles, was practically re- quested to leave by the Netherlands Government. "Col. Ostertag," the correspondent says, "nominally attache here «since early in the war, is said to be in real- ity one of the most efficient and use- ful leaders of the German intelligence department, and is said to have kept an active watch on all lines of com- munication between Holland and Eng- land; and between Holland and America. He latterly has become much interested in Dutch 'military operations, and inthe disposition .of the Dutch troops on the Belgian front- fer. His efforts to obtain information and the methods he has pursued, it is stated, finally attracted the atten- tion of the Dutch Government, which intimated its strong disapproval to the German Foreign Office, "Col. Ostertag left on 24 hours' no- tice, bad To nb ut Ghont, Sogn ater | I his arrival there, nine iviliang wh summarily courtmartialed and on a charge of transmitting military information to the frontier." ere, x NORWAY IS.

A despatch from London says 'ne Storm centre of the Galician: front has shifted from the 'region « of 'Lemberg to the line of the Br; south-east of the capital, and figh of great intensity is going on along the riser between Zurawna and Hal foz, The German army of Gen. vo Linsingen has been compelled to od {treat south of the river as the result of fierce Russian attacks, This re- verse -i§ admitted by Berlin, though Vienna claims that the progress of the Austrian troops has not been in- terrupted, and that the forces of Gen. . Boehm-Ermolli are working southward from Lemberg to. join those of Gen. von Linsingen. "= The Petrograd correspondent of the Daily Chronicle thus summarizes' the situation. "The first movement of the Ger- mans after occupying Lemberg was to attempt an advance south-eastward | g1 along the Lemberg-Beregane railway with the object of cutting off the Russian: forces operating on the Dniester. This advance so far has been checked, and on thg . Dniester itself the Russians sre displaying great energy. 'A large force of Ger- | mans who, crossed. the river hear Zur- awna has been jammed on to the bank and on islands. They have si enormous losses.. Further east, near Halicz, a very mixed force of Aus- trians hés been thrown back to the river, In these engagements the Russ sian light and. heavy ; artillery: gave effective support.
