Ofhcial advices from Berlin to-day
confirm the reports that the allies have
assumed the offensive in France and
Belgium, but do not indicate that the
movement has yet grown to formid-
able proportions. The attacks, it is
said, have been few in number and
have been defeated. Private dispatches
from Holland are to the effect that
fierce fighting Is In progress along the
\ ser canal. These reports are in par
tial agreement with the latest official
French communications, which, how
ever. tend to show that the forward
movement Of the allies is being at
tempted at points all along the lines.
Berlin is already looking toward the
possible investment of Warsaw as a
result of the capture Of LODI. Russian
Poland. 1t was said officially at the
