Strong squalls from E.

Paper has good news of French & Russian Fronts. Russians open an offensive against E Prussia whilst in France our pincer movement has developed considerably. Germans evacuate Osowiec & retire W. Mutiny on 3 British cruisers? Angers ((Angiers?)) being attacked. News indicates that Germany does not expect war to last many more months. No Pacific or Burma news. Things seem to be screwing up for the general final showdown both E & W.

Made rattle for Christine.
