BOTH CLAIM SUCCESS

LONDON March 6.-According to the official reports from Berlin and Paris this morning both sides claim inn pOrant successes in the very battle The Paris re- port says that the French have gained successes on the Lorraine border in the department of Champagne, in the Argonne district and around Perthes The report from Berlin states almost the direct opposite It does not claim an advance for the Germans but claims that all the French attacks at those points have been repuSed Be tween the two reports it is difficult to secure reliable idea of the conditions but is probably true that all the en- agreements in the western field unimpOrant and that both sides are waiting for the spring to begin the real campaign for the upper hand From all accounts this
 latter fact seems to be apparent It quite likely that the stas of both sides are now formulating plans for the vast movements when the weather becomes favorable. To- wards the end of the present month fine weather may be expected and only few weeks may eapSe when the most frightfu military operations of all time will begin. Both sides know that it will be a struggle to the death or ruin of one or the other of the opposing alliances.
