London, Nov. 6.--Soldiers newly returned from the Somme emphasize the bad weather which is temporar- ily preventing the allied advance. Gen. Von Mud is Germany's best helper, they say. Military authori- ties here, regarding the situation in its wider aspect, are more optimistic than ever, The Verdun victories, made possible by the Somme fight- ing, demonstrate entirely changed conditions on the western front. Germany, by concentrating tremend- ous forces in Picardy, weakened her entire line. Immediately the weather clears, greater western triumphs are confidently expected. The German advance in Rumania has been brought to a momentary pause. Every hour's - delay there | makes the Allies stronger. The gen-| eral military situation justifies con- fidence and cheerfulness.
