PARIS, March 13.-UnuSuai secrecy
the operations Of the British
troops north Of LaBassee near Neuve
chapeIIe was manifest at the war Of
flee tonight. Though the censor pass
ed several unofficial dispatches from
Bcthune, reporting the British cnsag-
ed in violent attacks, supported by
French artillery, the war office re-
fused confirmation.
"Complete calm was reported all
along the battle front today" said the
official ccmmunique issued just before
midnight. "ch:y artillery dueIs, were
in progress"
Bethunc DISPATCHES received here
tonight said the British resumed their
furious assaults at daybreak today.
They gained portions OF German
trenches near the village Of Aubers
and hope to occupy the town itself be-
fore Monday. The Germans have
counter attacked in an attempt TO halt
the British forward movement, but
have been hurled back in every in
stance.
eethune correspondents estimated
tonight that the British have advanced
their lines nearly four miles since they
assumed the offensive and captured d
Neuve ChaceIIe. This is the most i'm
portant gain against the Germans in
northern France since their retreat
from The Marine. Rumors are circu-
lated here that The Germans have been
removed from Lille. This report and
also the rumor that Lille was actual"
being bomharded, was not officially
credited. The German have occupied
Lille since Is-t Ausust. It was point.
ed out that with the city stronc!y
fortified during that period, its cap
ture without a desperate struggle was
highly improbable.

week in the French offensive In
Champagne. The mystery OF this fu-
tile effort to reach the German line
Of communications leading through
Luxembourg has been solved by Ber-
lin and Paris announcements that
General Joffre's strategy has been
to prevent the Germans sending re-
Inducements from the west to the
east. Undoubtedly. the French COM
mander succeeded In his object. Mar
shall Won Hindenburg has obviously
been in need OF support since his
east Prussian' victory, and his failure
to get it, explains why he could not
cut the Warsaw-Petrograd railway
line. 1t Is improbable that General
Joffre's drive saved Warsaw, but at
least, 1t prevented the east Prussian
disaster spreading into northern Po-
land.
A British attack, made, according
to London reports, by 100000 men on
German outer lines guarding Lille.
succeeded during the week in win
ming two and half miles Of
trenches, and showing the Germans
back three-quarters Of a mile. This
gain is the most important made by
the allies in northern France during
the winter. But it Is mergre in COM
parison with the efforts that will
have to be made if the Germans are
to be forced back to their own from
tier, and suggests the difficulties OF
this task.
Parliament granted the British gov.
ernment power during the week to
take over the plants capable of turn
ing out war supplies. This socialis-
tic experiment has been made neces-
sary by labor troubles, by the reluc-
tance of workmen to do full weeks
work, and by the failure of normal
methods to supply the army with all
the equipment 1t demands. The re-
suit of the governments entry into
private industry, may have an inn
portant effect on British labor legfs-
lation after the war ends.
The week has seen no change in
the eastern land operations. Bad
weather has interfered with the Ga
lician and Carpathian campaigns and
both sides are redistributing their
forces in Poland for new efforts.

NEW YORK, March 13.-King Con-

the adventurous policy OF Bismarck
ian imperialism formulated by the
Venzelos ministry, was the most Inn
portant war news Of the week. the
Greek monar6l has refused to b,
carried away by the excitement o.
the Dardanelles bombardment. and
has succeeded in replacing the Ven
zelos cabinet by one OF more sober
Judgment. It is highly improbable
that the kings policy was dictated by
his wife, who is the kaiser's sister
The uncertainties in the situation
are sufficient explanation of his cour-
age. II Greece were to plunge into
,hostilities with the allies and IL the
Dardanelles and Constantinople were
to hold out to the end Of the war
compensation for the Greeks would
woefully fail to suffice them for their
money and men sacrificed.
The Greeks are being encouraged
to enter the war. not because their
assistance would be any material help
to the allies. but Italy would prob
ably have to follow Greece's lead.
The ambitions Of Greece in Albania
clash with those of Italy and the Ro-
man government cannot afford to see
Greece place herself in position to
reap an Albanian reward. This Is
why the allies desire the Hellens to
Join them. They are working on
italy through Greece. King Constar
stine can well afford to keep his
country neutral until events shape
better from the standpoint OF inter
ests. s.E
The initial excitement caused at
Athens by the Dardanelles lombard
ment must be giving place to calm

ress of the attacking fleet becomes
known. Heavy weather is declared
by the allies to have been respon-
sible fer the small advance of the
week. but it is probable more eff
cient glInnery by the defenders is al
so a factor. Only indirect fire has
as yet been brought to bear on the
