liam Fastening to that point, what is
described by military critics as the
greatest battle of the war Is raging
along the User canal Nevertheless,
there is fierce fighting also on the
heights OF the Meuse and in the
Vosges mountains.
Official reports from Paris and Ber-
lin are in conflict, each side claiming
advantages. On the Mouse heights,
where the Germans delivered an as
sault with at least 10000 infantry, the
French report having won the day, the
slopes being covered with the bodies
of Germans. The Teutons, however
claim the winning of at least one
Meuse height by storm and the cap
ture of hundreds of French
Germans Win in Vosges.

war is raging
The British public has suffered a
severe shock in the development of
the sudden German drive toward the
channel ports, forestalling the long
heralded spring offensive of the al
lies. and the fact that the German
claims of victory are more positive
than the French and British is an
additional disturbing element.
The British war Office confirmed
the capture of st. Julien, ten miles
northeast OF Ypres, by the Germans,
as claimed by Berlin.
