WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The unyielding German line,
which for six weeks has been
stretched across France, is said
on the authority of the French
war Office to have been broken at
last. Near the eastern end of the
line, in the region beyond Nancy,
today's French official statement

At other points over the long line
the offensive has been resumed by
the allied forces, after a long
period of comparative inaction.
To the northward,. along the
Franco-Belgian border, the fight
ing continues with undiminished
ferocity. Along the User, where
the struggle has been most in
tense, the allies have not drawn
back, says the French official
statement, while toward the sout,
further progress has been made
between Ypres and Roulers.
All reports agree that the fight
ing in the east continues without
decisive result. The French Off
cial statement says that on the
River San and south Of; Przemysl
the Russian offensive is becoming
more accumulated" Latest Off
cial Austrian communications
state that the main Russian army
is being engaged, and that minor
successes have been won by the
Germans and Austrians. From
Petrograd no report had come up
to early afternoon.
Further fighting in Bosnia is
reported from Vienna, where the
