The Russians have made them
Iselves masters Of the principal chain
of mountains from Dullla pass to

Another German Task.
Now this German army has been

French Drive Wedge.
The French army In the Woevre Is
hammering at the two sides of the
German wedge which was driven into
the French line as far as st. Mihielt
early in the war and which thus far
has remained firm, and simultaneous
z 1y has attacked. the German front
which passes close to the Lorraine
y border between Nancy and Chateau
Chains.
The capture Of Les Eparges on
the northern side OF the wedge ap-E
pears to have been the most marked
success the French have gained af-
ter almost a fortnight's fighting. al
though the manner in which the
Germans are counter attacking in the
forest of Montmare to the southwest
would indicate that they feel the
French pressure from that direction
most severely.
All. other attacks. the Germans
claim to have repulsed with heayyI
losses to the French.
AT Standstili Elsewhere.
AS il the battles in the Carpathiansl
and the #yVoevre were enough for ono
time the campaign in other parts OF
Europe and IN Asia seem to have
come to&a. standstill. There has been
isolated fighting along the East.

into conflict IN the Caucasus but on |

against Turkey is awaiting the COM

to force the Dardanelles.
