Hard fighting continues in north Po- land between the Russians the Ger mans all along the front between the Niemen and VistuIa rivers and also between the British. French and Bel gians and Germans on the western front at various places from the sand dunes in Belgium to the crestS of the Vosges mountains.
 Victories for the allies are claimed in both the eastern and western the atres in the latest reports made by the Russian and Franch war chancel- Iories. Progress for the Muscovites in the recapture of ground at different places on the Niemen-Vistula line and also the taking as prisoner of numer- ous German officers and men and the capture of guns and war stores are Tecorded by Petrograd.
 Two entire companies of Germans of the machine gun arm of the service and other of the PrusSian guard-have fallen into the hands of the French during fierce engagements, respectively to the north of ArraS and in the Champagne district, according to Par Is. In addition, the French statement says some $50 yards of trenches in the region of Mesni1 and trenches and ra- vines northwest of Beausejour were captured by the French, during fight ing in which the German losses are described as having been extremely high. Twelve attempts by the Ger mans to sap allied advanced trenches in the sand dunes of Belgium were repulsed.
 The fighting which has been in pro- gTess in the Carpathian passes for sev- eral weeks seemingly has lessened in violence. Vienna reports engagements in some sections, but says that on the whole the situation remains un- changed The taking of Stanislau, Galicfa and the capture during the cam7aign in that territory of 153 Ger man officers and 1S.522 men, together with guns. horses and troop trains is recorded by Petrograd.

Despatches com ing by way of Berlin, reiterate that the damage thus far done to the Turk ish Notifications by the shells of the warships is not as great as allied re- ports of the bombardment have indi- cated. It is declared also that eye witnesses of the attacks have reported that several of the allied warships have been badly damaged by the Turk ish fire.
 Still another German submarine is declared to have met with disaster at the hands of an allied ship.
 The French admiralty asserts that a submarine of the U-2 class was struck in the English channel by three shells from a French cruiser and dis appeared

 Berlin reports by wireless that a French ammunition steamer bound for Nieuport went by mistake into Ostend and was sunk by the Germans. The error in making Ostend instead of Nieuport, the German army headquar- ters say, was due to the crew of the steamer being intoxicated.
