SUMMARY OF TODAY,s WAR NEWS.


 The capture by the French of Stetnbach, a small ARsatlan town near TEhann, is admitted in today's statement from the Berlin war of fee The advance of the French was preceded by a bombardm which the German statement de 6seribes as etowerwiI1e eIntng and which enabled the French to occu- py trenches near SennheiTn as we'll as the town of Sbeinbach.
 These trenehes laJtef were uecap- tured the German statement says. Except for this fighting along the eastern end of the ba,ttle front there is little activity the German counter-attaeks apparently hav- halted effectually the forward movement which the allies att tempted last month: A few ur1in1 portant gains are ehronicIed in the French official statement, which also says thaf an attempt to, capture a village in the Mouse country failed.
 The German statement makes no mention of the severe fighting in the east reponted by the Russian military authorities It says merely that the situation is u71- changed and that German attacks continue.
