Fighting All Along Line.
London.-The official press bureau
has issued the following statement:
Continuous fighting has been in
progress all along almost the whole
line of battle. The British cavalry
engaged with distinction the cavalry
of the enemy and brushed them back
and captured ten guns. The French
army has continued the offensive and
gained ground in the Lorraine district.
In other regions of the war the Rus
sian army is investing Konigsburg.

Silent Over the Result.
! Regarding the progress of the battle
which the Germans are waging on
French and Belgian soil, both French
and British governments virtually are
silent. The movements of the troops
are meagerly reported, and it has been

Russia Admits Reverse.

Petrograd, filed Tuesday evening
says:
Army headquarters reports that
thanks to their highly developed rail
way system, very superior German
forces concentrated from all parts or
the front and flung themselves against

Battle in the Air.
A fight in the air over Paris took
place Three German aeropIanes hoy

Another Battle in Progress.
LOndOn.-The second great battle
in the western theater of the war
and a battle which promises to de-
eide the course of that war, has been
progressing more than three days.
That fact is almost the sum total Of
the knowledge which Great Britain
and France have of the course of
mighty events. The battle is being
fought by the Germans to turn the
left flank of the allied armies. That
the Germans have pushed back the
French and British forces on that
flank to a certain extent is revealed
by official French announcements.
