The valor of the German attack has

valor from the steady ranks before

it is being waged resembles a
shambles.

Some German forces, according to
the latest reports in London. succeeded
In finding shelter enough among the
sand hillocks to enable them to retain
footing between the User and the
railroad running from Dixmude to
Nieuport, but this number up to the
present time has been insufficient to
dislodge the allies. German reinforce

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The great battle for possession
of the strip of coast running along
the North sea from Ostend to
Calais is said by the French to be
swim ging. slowly in favor of the
allied forces. The assaults OF
countless German troops, which
apparently attained the height OF
human effort, were matched with
equal courage and ferocity, and
today the offensive efforts of the
Germans were said to be relax
ing. For the third successive day
the French official statement as
serted the advantage lay with the
allies. 1t is noticeable, however,
that the French claims in each in
stance have been vague and bare
of detail as to the capture of
towns or localities which may be
set down on the map as marking
a definite advance at any point.
| Eastward along the main course
of battle, where comparative casu
prevailed for several weeks, thes;
are further indications that heavy
action has been resumed.
The conflict in Galicia is still
undecided. Both French and Rus
slams assert that the offensive
action against the Germans is be-
ing pursued successfully in the
fighting zone near Warsaw. It is
reported unofhcially from Petro-
! grad, however, that the Russians
have not succeeded in pushing
the advantage along their left and
center as far as they had hoped.
The rebellion in South Africa,
led by Christian De Wet, the ia
nous opponent of Lord Kitchener
in the Boer war, and Gen. Beyers,
former commander of the military
forces of the Union of South At
rica, presents a new menace to
Great Britain which causes no lit
tie concern.
The main assault on Tsingtau
has again been postponed by the
Japanese. Toxic reports that the
attack on the German fortress
has been delayed by storms, but
that the preliminary lombard
ment was proceeding from land
and sea, causing much damage to
the German forts.

There is no confirmation of these
reports, but it is quite possible that
the smashing of the German left, where
Germany's best forces were advanced.
may easily have been attained at the
cost of weakening somewhat. if only
temporarily, some other part of the
Russian line. The position of Russia is,
however. strategically very strong,
and If the news is true 1t can only
be momentary check.
"A German girl spy was caught
few miles outside of Petrograd. She
has been court-martialed and shot. Her
clothes were lined with admirably eX-
ecuted plans of Fronstadt and other
military stations"
Russians Occupy Lodz.
The correspondent of the Times at
Warsaw, telegraphing under date OF
Tuesday, has this to say Of the cam
paign in Russian Poland:
Radon. fifty-seven miles south of
Warsaw, was taken after hard strug-
airy occupied Lodz, seventy-fve miles
southwest of Warsaw, today after con-
siderable resistance.
The opinion is held here that Ger
many has definitely lost her opportun-
ity in Poland. largely because she mis-
judged the attitude of the popuiat n,
which is increasingly anti-German."
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Times under Tuesdays date says:
The news of the occupation of Lodz
is regarded in military circles as ex-
tremely important because of the pres
ence of a large cavalry column there
which threatens the whole line of Ger
man communication. The Germans will
be unable to withstand the terrible
threat to their left flank. and this cav
airy movement may precipitate develop
ments, compelling the Germans to fall
back upon Czenstochowa, in Russ an Po-
land. close to the Silesian frontier. and
to weaken extremely the Austrian de-
fensive in Galicfa."
The Chr nicle's Warsaw correspondent
sends dispatch, which was delayed in
