NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 10, 1916.
The paucity of war news from all
Bums, except the meager and seem
ingly unreliable reports emanating
uom Greek and other Balkan source*
is not so strongly indicative of censor
ial activities as mi absence of aggres
»i.e inclination on the part of Hie]
oenigerents.
Both slues are apparently marking
nine tvuiie recouping their energies
and forces for the Inevitable and still
nicater struggle to follow.
iiue, lighting is going on in some
agree on practically ail fronts, as a
mpleie suspension of activity is not
mi almost impossible but also im
practicable. Neither side, however, is
inclined to make serious effort to dis
lodge the opposition until time and
i he ceaseless activities going on behind
-ne firing lines have shaped conditions
more to their liking.
The western powers, having tried
their strength against the German wall
in France and Belgium with little
success, are evidently waiting until
tlie marsiialing of added forces shall1
lend a greater weight to their attack j
before again measuring their might
with that of the central powers.
Russia is in practically the same
situation as France and Britain. She
has suffered deeply from the smash
ing Austro-German drive in Poland
mid the Baltic sections and has learn
ed to know the futility of attempting
lo pierce the band of steel with which
tlie invading foe have encircled her
western provinces, without a still
greater force than that which was
lately flung reeling backward before
the shattering onslaughts of the Ger
manic host.
Realizing that they cannot hope to
prevail until an overwhelming force
has been amassed, the allies are, con
sequently not attempting aggressive
operations on an extensive scale and
ure well content to do no more than
is absolutely essential to the mainte
nance of positions and advantages al-'
ready established.
Aggressive action means to them,
at present, nothing but unprofitable
loses—drains which will tend to weak
en while achieving no important re
sult. During the wait they are pre
paring a greater strength, a mightier
force, to meet tsiivtlciui efficiency
of their p. Eji..-.h day adds
to their '.".its i star power, a
mightier * treasr '• They have noth
ing to lose and everyt.a.ng to gain by
conserving tc*4r strength.
Tlie Germans, on the contrary, are
extremely active along the Balkan
front, having concentrated their power
in the Serbian drive. In so doing they
have probably reduced the strength
of their far reaching battle lines in
France and Russia to a point of at
tenuation where heavy offensive ac
tion along those fronts Is impractica
ble, owing to the possibility of Invit
ing disaster rather than success.
In a great degree the situations are
identical. Neither side being able to
mass a sufficient force for definite
action, both are waiting until the op
portune moment for further action
shall develop.
It is futile to attempt to prophesy
the developments of the near future
but It Is a fair surmise that affairs
along tha oldjffH»attls fronts will prob
ably remain In statu quo, so to say,
until the final determination of the Bal
kan situation.
Both sides are apparently content
o let well enough alone on the bat
Is lines In France and Russia while
devoting their attention to the game
jt drive and checkmate in the Serbian
Held.
