garded as Grave Menace-Paris
Announces Success in Flanders.

London. Tho French are fighting
their way toward Metz in Lorraine
and Strassburg in Alsace. Paris ex-
poets that the column in Lorraine
will cut the German communications
between Metz and st. Mihiel and
that Muehausen and Altkirch will
soon fall to the invaders.
The official reports of the fighting
In Flanders and Artois confirm the
unofficial reports that the Allies have
taken the offensive and are attacking
hard. The French and British in
Flanders and France drove the Ger
mans from trenches and villages they
had held for many weeks. A gale
of sleet and snow is sweeping over
the northern area.
Berlin admits officially that the AL
lies continue the offensive both at the.
east and west, but asserts that the
Germans maintained a successful de-
fence in Flanders, in northern France,
in the Argonne and south of Metz.
Paris confirms what has been
known for weeks in military circles,
that the Germans have lost their
early superiority in heavy field ar
tillery and that the Allies have now
more powerful and more numerous
guns than the invaders. The sig
nificance of the news from the French
point of view is that the Allies have
the metal to stop any German adj
vance and to support an offensive OF
their own.

Admiral Bettolo, ex-Minister OF Ma

Italy's neutrality was not due to un-

the fact that Italy was not obliged to
follow the central empires of Europe.
