noon very heavy one, which were
all repulsed. The total number OF

TO obstruct the movements of German
troops
The Belgian army continues to gain
little ground az the bend OF the
River User and in Champagne, the
Argonne and the Nosges there has
been fighting of varying importance.
The Germans have again bombarded
fpres, Scissors and Rheims. In the
latter two towns the cathedrals have
suffered further damage.
The French have occupied Ember-

Luneville and Rixengen, on the Dor

the French account OF the capture OF
the village OK Vauquols, on the eastern
border OF the Argonne forest, which
was issued today. For days the French
and Germans contended for this vii

tactical point OF view, il very great

been much more numerous than in
many OF the historic battles.
News from the eastern war zone con-
tinues 10 be scant. The German and
Russian armies which are concentrat-
ing for big battle around Przasnysz
apparently have not yet come into
touch. The fighting thus far reported
has hardly been more than an affair
OF outposts.
