PARIS, May 1.-Distinct successes
over the Germans in the forest OF
Lepetre, where heavy fighting has
been intermittent since last Novem-
eer, was reported by the war Office
tonight. II states that as result Of
a series Of charges, following good
work by~,the sappers division, several
lines OF trenches have been captured
by the French. The fighting at this
point continues.
In Belgium and northern France,
the situation Is comparatively calm.
There has been numerous artillery ex-
changes but no serious attempted
offensive.
The war Office takes the position
that the German bomhardment Of
Dunkirk is a confession of weakness
on the part OF the Germans. It said
touay In its official review: 'The bonn
kardment Of Dunkirk is fresh proof
that the Germans cannot succeed In
piercing our lines. They are now try
ing only to influence neutrals."

allied airmen, many of whom

stated, however, that there
has been no real panic in the
city.
Serious fighting also is re-
ported from the Champagne
region; on the heights Of the
Meuse and in the Vosges. The
Germans have been repulsed
at every point where they have
essayed an offensive, it is stat

made to observe the day.
"A million and half socialists ara

speakers are fighting or working and

Asked why It was that tho socialists
were fighting at all, he said: "Russia
always has dreamed Of eonquerIns thc

Great, Russia has hated Germany be
cause Of tho latter's geographical po-
sition. For a million German work
