10 this report. Have made no prog
ress at any point" while "at certain
points the enemy has moved back,
particularly to the north of Arras,
where the fighting is developing un-
der conditions favorable to us"
The cavalry are fighting even
further north than this. and the
French communication says opera
tions have developed almost to the
North sea.
Regained Positions.
Around Roye. where the Germans
captured important heights from the
French last week, the French have re-
gained some of the positions which
they were Obliged to abandon.
From the north OF Aisne. where two
/ forward movements by the Anglo
French troops have been mentioned
within the last few days the Germans
! seem TO have withdrawn some of their
men. probably 10 strengthen their ex-
treme right. around which the allies
have been trying TO work ever since
, the battle began. nearly four weeks
ago.
On the center. between Rheims and
their arms. awaiting their turn to
take the offensive. But on the heights
OF the Meuse. between the fortress OF
Nerdun and ST. Mihiel. where the Ger
mans crossed the- Meuse a couple of
weeks ago. the contest still goes on.
The Germans have withdrawn TO the
north OF Nattonchatel They stfll.
however, hold St. Mihiel and some
positions to the north OF that town
on the right bank Of the river.
The conjecture. therefore. that the
French had driven them back across
the river soon after they made their
advance and captured. besides the
town itself. the forts OF Romans and
Paroches. proves to be incorrect.
In the Woevre district the Germans.
without success. have delivered vio-
lent attacks against the French. who
doubtless were trying to get behind

during the special session of the Japa.
nese Diet. but finally in the interest OF
national harmony withdrew all opposi-
ton and the war credit OF about se7.-
100000 was voted. The opposition
took the form of a remonstrance
against Japan submitting to any form
OF limitation at the hands of Great
Britain as to what she could or could
not do in the war with Germany.
IL was not in keeping with Japan's
national pride. the speakers said. that
Japan should be kept from the south
seas or any other part of the Pacific
ocean where her interest as a nation
at war might call her.
subsequent to the adjournment OF
the Diet II was announced that Great
Britain had informed Russia and
France that the agreement as to fu-
ture peace must not be regarded as
modifying in any way the terms or OBJ.
legations Of the alliance with Japan.
This alliance was a previous agree
ment. and according to its terms Great
Britain and Japan would conduct both
war and peace in common.
