Kaiser Losing Out Says Allies Won't Be Defeated
London January 6 Lord Kitchener traced six weeks of war activity since parliament’s prorogation. He highlighted Turkish defeats in the Caucasus and Austrian losses in Galicia, with a marked check to German aims in Poland and credit to Montenegro for advancing in Bosnia. He noted Indian troops’ setback at Givenchy but said British lines have since held. The tide of battle varied with weather and winter conditions, as French progress east of Rheims and in southern Alsace continued amid German redeployments. The debate touched on internment of enemy aliens. The report ends with a note that the discussion continues on the next page.
