Great Britain had started In the wal

DUELS BETWEEN ARTILLERY
Hand.to- Hand Fighting 10 Discarded
by the Armies Battling in
France.

London Activity along the western
battle line seems 10 partake Of the ma
ture OF isolated engagements rather
than general offensive. Artillery
duels have taken the place OF hand.to
hand fighting. which has been the fea
/ ture OF the recent struggle along the
Mouse and near the Lorraine border
but the latter type OF combat continues
In the Vosges. where the official state
ments agree sharp fighting Ia taking
place on German territory.
The corroboration, however. ends
with this fact, the French claiming to
have occupied dominating positions
here, and the Germans declaring the
attacks OF the French have failed.
Petrograd continues to report minor
successes in the Carpthians, showing
that the fighting has not been entirely
suspended near the passes. but the
Russian. Austrian and German official
reports agree that spring virtually has
put an end TO all activity along the re.
mainder OF the eastern front.
II again Is unofficially announced
that operations are under way In the
Dardanelles, where the Turks are re.
ported building defenses against land
Ing parties. but the news OF the break.
Ing up OF the Ice at Archangel, the only
large sea port on the north coast Of
Russia. may induce the entente allies
to be more deliberate In their attempts
to unlock the gate to the Black Sea,
The irritation In Holland over the
!orpedoing OF the Dutch ship katwyk
has been greatly allayed by Germany's
expression OF her willingness to make
an apology and pay an indemnity IL Il
is found that the vessel was sunk by a
German submarine.
Whether the negotiations between
Rome and Vienna concerning ltalys de-
mands Tor territorial concessions have
been broken OF remains for the mo-
ment an official secret. but IL appears
TO be universally agreed that the ten.
sion is approaching the breaking
point II is suggested here tina, the
Italian foreign office is awaiting an
