BATTLE RESUMED in
NORTHERN FRANCE:
TURK SHIPS BUSY
French Claim Successes Saying They Have Captured Ger
Trenches and Many Prisoners; Berlin Makes
Denial of Several Official Statements Sent From Paris;
Sultan Tells Parliament Turkey Was Forced Into War

The British military authorities an
nounced to-day that fighting I'm North
ern France had recommended ana that
a combined attacked by the allies in
Belgium, to the south of Ypres, had
resulted i'm the capture of German
trenches and substantial prograss.
This Is the first occasion in several
week on which the British authorities
have considered the day to day activi-
ties of the allies of sufficient import
ance TO issue such statement. Lon
don suggests IL may mean that the al
lies have at least begun the general
offensive movement which has been
expected there for some time.
The French statement to-day covers
the same ground as the British an
nouncement and i'm addition says that
some progress has been made in the
Argonne. There were indications,
however. that the Germans have made
progress recently toward the eastern
end of the line. The French War
Office admits that at Stcmbach, i'm Al
SAGE the German infantry gained a
foothold." Rombardmcnt of st. Leon
ard and of Commeroy by the Germans
also has been mentioned i'm the last
two official statements. st. Leonard
lies some distance south of points
previously mentioned in accounts of
fighting in the Vosges. CommerOy is
about ten miles south of st. Mihiel
which has been believed previous to
the southern extremity of the wedge
thrust by the Germans into the French
line.
Such confident claims have been
made by the allies during the last
week concerning the success OF their
new movement against the German
line that the Berlin military authori-
ties have issued a special statement to
contradict them. The French official
statements, mn particular, have reach
ed a long series of victories, includ-
ing the destruction of a number of
German batteries, the capture of
trenches and the rout of the German
infantry attacks, along almost the long
line. The German statements, how
ever. have said that there is little activ-
ity and to-day's announcement from
Berlin characterize the French report
of December ~ concerning the de-
struction of 1atttries and capture of
trenches as "a pure invention"
