SUMMARY OF THE WAR NEWS.

SUMMARY OF THE WAR NEWS.
The official communicates Of tho
French War Office announce that the
offensive continues in France and
Flanders with success except at two
points, where the Germans repulsed at
tacks. Most Of the fighting for the last
two days was in the Argonne region.
where the Allies at one point captured
trenches along a front OF 1900 yards.
The report of the German War Office
conflicts with the French version at
several points. At Perthes-sur- Hurlus,
where the French say they captured
1900 yards of trenches. the Germans
state that they repulsed all attacks with
heavy losses. The defeat of the Allies
at several other points is claimed. but
the defeat of the German troops in the
region of Richebourg Is admitted.
The Berlin statement says that in
central Poland the Germans are en-
gagged In a fierce struggle for the possess
sion of the Pilica and Bzura rivers. In
East and West Prussia the situation is
said to be without change.
Reports from Petrograd are to the
effect that the Russians have won a
notable victory in the Ntawa region
and are pursuing the Germans across
the frontier. The Austrians are said to
have been checked in the south and in
front OF Warsaw the Russian troops
seem to be holding their own. In Petro-
grad the situation is regarded as dis
tinctly improved.
