duel continues at some points
along the wide front and there
has been an occasional infantry
attack, but for the last five days
the fighting has been mild com
pared with the fierceness of that

ceded it.
Both Sides Rest
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-

officers and men who have borne the
brunt of the fighting in the trenches
are being given a short leave.

German Attacks All Repulsed.
For the most part the opposing ar

otner at long range. but the Germans
have made several attacks around

general staff, have been repulsed with
heavy losses. Despite these losses 1t
