 In the western arena of the war we gained some ground after reIa- lively unimportant engagements near Nieuport and to the southeast of Ypres.
 Several strong French attacks to the northwest of Ste. Mehhou1d have been repulsed with heavy losses to the enemy. We captured two pris- oners.
 '.An advance in the burned forest to the west of Aprenont led to the capture by us of one fortified French trench and three Mannheim guns. French attacks to the west of Senn- helm have been repel1ed.
 t'No changes have taken place in the situation in East Prussia.
 Poland on the right bank of the Vistula, on the branch of the Bzura and on the Rawka rivers our attacks have made progress. In the region south of Inow1odz strong Russian atA tacks have been repulsed.''

SUMMARY OF TODAY's WAR NEWS

Russian announcements of de- feats of the Germans are disputed today by the Berlin war office which states that the attacks of the invading armies in Poland have made progress and that strong Russian assaults are re- pelled. No mention is made how ever of the situation in Galicia where the Russians are described as having inflicted a severe de- feat on the Austro-German forces.
 The French campaign for re- possession of it's lost provdnce of Alsace, one of the first objectives of the armies of the republic af- ter the outbreak of the war ap- parently is making progress. The unofficial reports last night that the allies are now smelling. Muel- hausen, are supplemented today by the statement of the French war office that the town of Stein bach, upper A1sace, has been in- vested.
 In France and Belgium the fighting drags on with small vic tories for each side. The German official announcement tells of the capture of French trench in a, burned forest west of Apremont. The French statement admits the temporary loss of this trench but adds that it was retaken later after three counter attacks. Both Paris and Berlin mention minor gains with violent fighting in various points. The French state ment said that the allies have captured the Belgium town of St. Georges, around which heavy en- counters have been in progress for some time.
 Another striking change in the military situation in the east, where neither of the contenoing

 The explanation of the Bridgeport order Is to be found in the revoIu- Honary effects of the great European war on European Inanufaetur es- pecial1y in England, where many fac tories are absolutely idle.

 It is understood that the trucks are to be shipped from Bridgeport direct to England, thence distributed in various parts of the continent, as they may be needed.

Rush orders for automobile trucks at the rate of 100 per month have caused uilpreced activity in the big plant of the I.ocornobdIe Co. of America, in this city.

Mayor Wilson today sent to Tax Col lector Howard F. Smith the warrant to collect Sthe personal tax. This ae- tion bears out his statement made some time ago that he would not re- appoint the present personal tax col lectors, Patrick Cuddy, James Holt,Jr., and John Kemple. Despite the good record made by the present fncun1- bents of the office, Mayor Wilson in discussing the matter today took oc- casion to refer to them as ''1ncom- ptent'' and said that the expense of collecting the personal tax during the past four years was absolutely unwar- ranted.
 As matter of fact the personal tax collectors of Bridgeport. do collect the tax and their record for collections leads the state. They have collected a larged proportion of the taxes than any other collectors in the state.

American position.
 The President was asked if the com nnunication sent to Great Britain was the result of the recent gathering of Pan-Am erican diplomats here. He said it was not but that the position of the United States would apply to any neutral and that the conditions advanced were not. peculiar to this country.
 The President added that the note of protest was not based on any treat ies between the United States and Great Britain but on the generally accepted principle of international law. Publication of the substance Of the American note this morning created widespread interest in the capital
 Foreign diplomats, especially those from neutral countries. discussed it and members of Congress who had protested to the state department on behalf Of merchants and shippers of copper, flour, wheat. foodstuffs, cot ton and other products, in which trade has been restricted, express their sat isfaction with the attitude of the gov ernmenf.
