~ attacks and counter-attacks

S,ar or more hy the allies and Ger
ars have so far failed to decide
me titanic battle in west Flanders and
northern France.
The Germans supreme effort IS
asclared TO be directed against the
.Iges, left beyond Lille, while the
movements along the coast are he
eyed TO he in the nature of re-
eonnaissance'
The French war office In its state
ment tonight declared that the allles
are everywhere holding their ground
although especially violent attacks
had been made during the day on
their lines from the North sea as
far as Labassee.
Al Lille the Germans hold the two
important roads out Of that city
one north to Armentieres and the
other south 10 Fournes. They also
have occupied the bed of the partly
finished Grand Canal du Nord which
is sixty miles long and gives com
IT of
vast bodies Of troops. This canal
runs by Roye and Arras and so far
every effort OF the allies to dislodge
them has met with failure.
Germans Caught in Trap
Aided by British warships which
have bomharded villages held by the
Germans. the allies are reported to
have caught the Teuton force ad-
yancing along the coast between two
fires and to have hurled them back
10 within six miles of Ostend. An
unconfrmed report announced that
the warshps cooperating with the
allies land forces. besides repelling
an attack of German submarines,
had shot down Taube aeroplane
and Zeppelin airship.
With the death grapple in north
ern France at its height, Petrograd
tonight lifted the veil that has
shrouded in mystery the operations
in the eastern theater of war by an
nounclng that the German troops
menaclng Warsaw have been re-
pulsed and are now in full retreat
leaving their wounded on the battle
field The official statement declares
that although the Germans are stu
occupying the left bank of the Vis-
tula, south of the Pilitza and as far
as Sandomir, the Russian troops are
advancing along the whole front
which is 267 miles in extent.
The German report declares no de-
csiye result has been achieved in the
lighting in Russia.
The report seems to show that the
Germans have concentrated a strong
force Of artillery in front of Kocie-
nice, just across the river from the
important fortress of lvangorod. IL
ADDS that the Russians are holding
thls district under most unfavorable
conditions.
TN the progress of the battles IN
Galicia the Russian and Austrian re-
ports are again in direct conflict The
russians say the Austrians have
lailed to cross the San river and that
'ne russians are taking the offensive,
While near Przemysl the Russians re-
pulsed numerous bands of Austrians.
Inc Austrians, on the other hand,
Viaim that their attacks are progress
ing and that the Russians have been
urlven out of several places. 1t is
'housht possible here that the Aus
ulan report refers to a battle taking
pace further to the south of Pre-
ifysl but that it must be part of the
general operations to get the Russians
out Of Galicia and threaten their
flank.
In east Prussia the situation seems
unchanged
Inc Servians again report successes
oVel< the Austrians in the sphere of
operations in the south.
According to the French commun
Ndtlon the Germans made attacks on
uie allied lines today at Nieuport,
DNmude and Labassee. The German
general staff declares fighting contn-
ues on the User canal and that the
uermans taking the offensive west of
Lille have repulsed the French at
several points.
Inc report seems to controvert op-
,lhlstic accounts appearing in Eng
ilsh newspapers from correspondents
VINO claimed they were in west Flan-
eers and who stated that the Germans
mad been driven back
Inc Germans, however, are believed
mere to be fighting under a great dis
