This mitigates the uneasiness felt here regarding the Bulgarian attitude. situation far noith is less favorable.

The Germans call the reverses east of Vilna temporary in character, notwithstanding losses fii guns and prisoners. Pinsk MacKensen was thrown back in an engagement that has shaken his grip on the city.
