panied by snow, and the exhaustion OF
the troops engaged, have virtually
brought the battle in Flanders and
France to standstill. A desultory
artillery duel continues at some points
along the wide front and there has
been an occasional infantry attack. but
for the last three days the fighting
has been mild compared with the
fierceness of that which for more, than
month preceded 1t.
Two German batteries were anni-
hilated near verdun. At Ornes, ac-
cording to the late official statement.
the French army captured important
heights. In the Argonne the Ger;
mans were defeated after a violent en-.
counter. The French now occupy a
blockhouse and have established .
new line of trenches. III
The Germans, it is evident have
sent their best troops to the eastern
front, and even in big guns the allies
appear to have the advantage over
them.
There are no signs, however, OF an
offensive on large scale on the part
of the allies. who doubtless are as
badly in need OF rest as their oppo-
nents. In fact, 1t is stated that the
officers and men who have borne the
brunt OF the fighting in the trenches
are being given short leave. X.
This, together with the cancellation
Of the order for the removal OF ship
ping from Dunkirk is taken to indi-
cate that the allies consider their po-
sitions safe for the present, and that
they do not contemplate any immedi-
ate attempt at a forward movement.
For this reason, and because the re.
suit will have q most important bear
ing on the war, interest is still CEN
tered on the battles in Poland.
AS has been the case heretofore
when important events were impend-
ing, little news is coming from either
Berlin or Petrograd as to the opera
tions.

Duke Nicholas are muneuvering fof

the woman, he decided that after that
failure to end his life, he wanted to
live. Throughout the four days of his
trial he cooperated with his attorney
to cast mitigating circumstances about
the crime which he freely confessed.
Life imprisonment. he said. was the
best he could hope for. When the
verdict came in he chuckled audibly.
