Comparative quiet prevails in the

the railroad stations of Metz, throw
inc down bombs in their flight.
Notwithstanding that recent offt-
cial statement announced the Ger
mans had ceased their attacks on the
Bzura river In Russian Poland, latest
advices from Berlin indicate that they
are still advancing in that region. Pc

they are said to have been forced back
from the line running from Imigrod
to Dukla in the Carpathans, with
enormous losses, including ten thou~
