Although further progress, appar-

their general offensive movements, the
German armies as a whole are stand

lost no important sections of the long

the retreat which followed the battle
OF the Marine early in the war
To-day's official communications indi-
cate that each side has. had its vic
tories and defeats. The French army
chiefs state that they captured the last
section of a line of German trenches
near Perthes-les- Hurlus. where fight
ing has been severe for several days.
and have made an average gain of 500
yards. The German statement, speak
ing of this engagement, says that the
French attack was partly repelled." B"
French claims to progress in Belgium
are denied in Berlin. where it is said
that the British have suffered reverses
at the hands of the Germans.
No Developments in East
The German war office reports no
developments in the East, saying
merely that the lighting is continuing.
The French statement, however. as
serts that the Russians are pressing
forward their invasion of Germany
across the East Prussian frontier, but
admits that the Germans have made
progress in the fighting in Poland to
the west of Warsaw.

far, covering nearly five months, few
occasions have been marked by such q
