ALLIES CLAIMING
IMPORTANT GAINS
ARE HOLDING MORE ADVANCED
POSITIONS IN FLANDERS THAN
THEY HAD GAINED IN PAST.
British Soldiers Get Footing on Right
Bank of the User and Destroy
Field Fortress Of the
Enemy.

Three overwhelming victories were
won by the heavy artillery of the al.
lies in fighting reported in Paris on
Sunday in official dispatches from
widely separated sections of the bat
tie front.
In Flanders near the ferryman' s
house. between Dixmude and Ypres,
which was captured by the British
after a months fighting. the British
gunners destroyed German field
fort.
In Champagne the French guns
completely overwhelmed the kaisers
batteries.
Near Narrennes, sixteen miles from
Verdun. the French guns put every
gun OF the German batteries out of ac,
ton.
The week opened with the allies
holding more advanced positions in
Flanders than they have gained in any
corresponding period during the past
month.
The past three days. says the dis
patch, have shown an unbroken rec,
ord of successes on this section of
the front with the exception of the
battle around Weidendreft, on the out,
skirts of Langemarck. northwest of
fpres, where the Germans have eff
fectively resisted the French attacks
Mondays official statement declared
that the German corps contesting for
the position assumed the offensive,
but without avail, the British continu-
ing to hold the section of the town to
which they retired on Friday.
One of the most notable gains was
made by the allies to the east of Pae.
sci, in the section about the ferry
mans house, where the German field
fort was reported destroyed Monday.
This is the first really firm footing the
British have been able to gain on this
bank of the User, and the failure OF
the German counter attacks in an eff
fort to regain the lost stronghold, to-
gether with the reduction of the FOR.
titled position from which they had
conducted their operations, speaks
volumes for the firmness with which
the British have established them
selves at this front.
The new laurels for the French gun
ners were gained in the Champagne
region by remarkably accurate and
persistent cannonade while they them
selves were under terrifying fire of
the German batteries The kaiser's
gunners opened a furious lombard
ment of the French positions. The
French batteries replied with a dead
ly rain of shells from the new field
howltzers which recently were
brought up from the rear to replace
he turnout pieces, and the Germans
were effectively smothered by the
fury of the reply.

Washington.-The Italian ambassa-

protest against the Arizona law, which

ment.
The reasons given for the protest
are that the law is in direct violation
Of the provisions in the treaty between
the United States, Great Britain and
Italy, guaranteeing their citizens the
same rights as are enjoyed by Ameri-
can citizens in the states in the maj
ter of employment and travel.
