From the sea as far as Rheims the
fighting has been limited exclusively
10 artillery combats. The enemy has
bombarded without results the village
OF st. Georges and the head OF
bridge which the Belgians have built
TO the south Of Dixmude. Between
Arras and carency. between Albert
and Roye and in the region OF YER
nestii and of Blanc sablon, lively can
nonades have resulted to Our advan-
tage. Near Blanc sablon we have
utterly demolished the German works
Of defense,
In the region of Perthes and at
Beausejour we have maintained the
ground won by our troops. There was
no activity OF the two contending artll-
lery corps during the whole day OF the
31st
In the Argonne the enemy has very
violently attacked our lines In the
forest OF La Grurie almost upon the
whole front, and he has succeeded IN
gaining at certain points about 30
yards; but he has been in turn coun-
ter-attacked by us.
In the region Of Verdun violent artil-
lery combats have taken place.
Between the Meuse and the Moselle, 5
to the northwest of Flirey, the Ger
mans during the nights OF the 9Oth and
91st and on the morning of the 3lst
made six violent counter attacks with
the object Of retaking the trenches
captured by us on the 3Oth. All these
counter attacks were repulsed
RUSSIAN
Latest dispatches from the sphere
of hostilities In Poland make 1t plain
that Warsaw is no longer in danger of
attack, thanks to the strategy of
Grand Duke Nicholas and the valor
of our troops.
During the last two days we have
made further progress all along the
line, especially In the Carpathians and
in northern Galicia, where the Aus
trians are still retreating, leaving
thousands OF prisoners in our hands
Between the Vistula and the Pilica
there Is violent fighting for the posses
sion OF trenches, especially in the re-
gion of the Bzura and Rawka Rivers.
Our losses have been heavy, due to
the accuracy of the German artillery
but the German losses have been
much heavier. At some points the
attacks amounted to no less than
slaughter of the German soldiers. In
the district about Bolimow, where the
Germans attempted to assume the
offensive against our lines, the field
is covered In some places with corpses
that have lain there since the fighting
last Sunday and Monday.
North of the Vistula and in east

is expected soon, as prisoners taken in.

PRESERVE IT.-Th


preserving neutrality is now largely
up to congress. For months the
president has steered the ship alone
and well, and Uncle Sam at least
stands as well with the foreign ma
lions as he did when the last con-
gress closed. There has been no
race rioting in this country and there
is no present danger Of war. While
an American president cannot de-
clare war, he can cause war, and
Woodrow Wilson has carefully and
wisely avoided cause for war.
Undoubtedly the Gath congress will
heatedly discuss war matters, and
the warmth thereof will be reflected
back upon its constituencies. Poll
tics win be played. The dominant
