Probably the heaviest of the fight
ng that is taking place anywhere in
he numerous war zones is on the west
IN line in the Argonne and the Vos-
les. In both these districts Paris re-
orts that after all-day battling the
lighting still continues. These feats
t arms are being carried out in tn
icfnify of a field work called Marie
rherese, near Fontain Madame, in
he Argonne, and in the region of the
hartmann Weilerkopf hills in the Vos-
res. In the latter the Germans were
IN the offensive, according to Paris.
elsewhere in Belgium and in France
some artillery engag ements and in
antry attacks took place on widely
separated points. In none of them
vas victory claimed. In the east In
poland and Galacia only secondary col
isions between the opposing forces
lave taken place, according to Petro-
trad. The Russians report the con-
sentration of considerable forces OF
Austrians In Bukowina. There is no
condemnation of a report that Zeppe-
ins again have passed over Cromer.
England. The American steamer Will
helmfna, loaded with foodstuffs con-
signed to an American citizen in Ger
many, has sailed from New York for
Hamburg. She Is the first vessel since
the war begin to leave the United
States with foodstuffs for Germany.

The most important of the days mar
tiaf developments In urope, If the re-
port Ia based on facts, Is the announce
ment from Petrograd printed In Paris.
that Germany has informed Rumania
that the latter country's military meas
ures and its encouragement of a rev.
plutionary movement in Translyvania
constitute hostile acts. Rumania has
made no secret of the fact that heI
army Is virtually on a war footing and
there have been reports for weeks that
she was about to enter the conflici
on the side OF the allies. Official con-
tirmation of Germany's stand Is MOI
obtainable, however. Fiercely contest

IN the western front, but they have
