 There was no wind at the time, and the isolated position of the cabin precluded the danger of the fire Srreading

In the latter the Germans were on the offensive. accord ing to Paris. Elsewhere in Belgium and in France some artillery engage nents and infantry attacks took place, only at widely separated points. In none of tLen was a victory claimed.
 In the east, in Poland and Galicia, only secondary collisions between the opposing forces have taken place. ac- cording to Petrograd.
