The report from Petrograd that the offensive In Gallcia and Bessarabia had been suspended for the present is regarded as at least premature. The Russian offensive could not. It Is believed, be-lieved, be suspended suddenly as it was undertaken after careful preparations prepar-ations and launched with unexpected strength. The object of that offensive offen-sive Is said to be three-fold: To demonstrate dem-onstrate to tho Rumanians that the Russian forces are able to assume the initiative when they choose; secondly second-ly to divert Austro-German forces from the Balkans, tho western front, and finally to improve the general strategic position of their left flRnk. While the full effect of this Russian Rus-sian offensive cannot yet be determined, deter-mined, entente military experts affirm af-firm that the second object was attained, at-tained, that the "situation in the Balkans Bal-kans was sensibly relieved and that the operation undertaken by the Germans Ger-mans against the French in Champagne Cham-pagne was robbed of Its Yorce.
