the conclusion OF that phase of the
war of the nations which came with
the fan of Antwerp the censorship has
again drawn a veil over the fighting iu
the greater part of the European COM
tluent
The French communication issued
this afternoon deals only with the hat
tie. or series ot battles. which has
been In proereas for four weeks from
cast To west Ia France with an evel-
extending line which now reaches
northNard from the elbow nt Noyon
across the Belgian border at Armeu-

The statement SAYS that the allies
have held their positions everywhere

tired to the northeast Into the Afmcn-
there's district.

ilvcrcd vigorous attack on the right

between the river Disc and Rheims,
and particularly Ia Tie region north
west OF scissors, whore the British
forces are ontrenehod, further pro-
gress has been made. II thus seems
probable that the Germans have ahnn-
donod some Of their strongly en-
trenched positions in this neiehhor-
hood. II Is reported that sanitary tea-
sons have compelled this, as the
trenches In which the troops have been
living for weeks have become the
breeding places for disease

accounts, have been rcpulsed, From
