The Russians. are not contemplat- ing at the moment any considerable operations into East Prussia, tenting themselves with having dri- ven out the invader and holding him back beyond his own frentier. That is, immabilizing at least six or seven German army corps while the great battle takes place elsewhere. So far the Germans have not had any suc- cess on their right flank south of Przemysl, where, on the contrary, the Russians have inflicted a partial defeat on the Austrian troops, hold- ing this portion of the German line, and have captured seven officers and five hundred men. i lat THE SPY RYWHERE.

"Cain", a poem on the 'war, by Betty D. Thornley, daughter, of Mrs. May" R.- Thornley, of London, Ont., appears in The Canadian Monthly for October. In theifew days since the publication of the magazine it has come to be regarded as one of the most remarkable poems publish- ed since the war. Its gripping force has caused it to be 'compared to "The Day', probably the most in- spiring production since the war.
