WAR SUMMARY

The French war office reports relative
calm along the battle front in Belgium
and the retention by the allies of the
ground they regained since the inaugura-
tion of the German forward movement
nearly a week ago.
This follows the British official state
ment which declared that the operations
by the allies have definitely stopped the
German attack which has not been re-
nswed, Counter attacks apparently are
still being delivered by both French and
British, but these are OF minor impor-
tance as compared with the general en-
gagement around Ypres and the User
canal which lasted Ave days.
In the eastern war zone, according to
Vienna. the general situation remains
unchanged, In Russian Poland heavy
artillery engagements have taken place
at various points without definite results
and in the Carpathians near Ostry. night
attacks by the Russians have been re-
pulsed. News reaching Berlin from
Czernowitz is to the effect that the Aus
trians have captured Bojan east (
Czernowltz, which is the key to the Rus
sian positions In the crownland of
