Although further progress appar-
entity has been made by the allies in
their general offensive movement. the
German armies as a whole are stand
ing fast and so far as is known have
lost no important sections of the
long line OH which they settled down
after the retreat which followed the
battle of the Marne early in the
war.
Today's official communication in
dicates that each side has had its
victories and its defeats. The French
army chiefs state that they captured
The last section of line Of German
trenches near Perthes Les Hurlus,
where fighting has been severe for

Russians are at grips on the banks

most desperate fighting in either The
eastern or western arenas OF the war.
When the weather conditions I'M

in the trenches may 20 some extend
be appreciated. The country is eN-

Each side has sustained tremendous

and altho the Germans claim to have
forced the Russian line at Il number
of points, il is nevertheless Il fact,
according to reports reaching Lon
don. that the Russian front has been
straightened out and it is difficult to
vfsauize which contender has the
strategic advantage.
Again there come trickilns thru
from Holland reports of vast move
