Reinforcing West Frort.
Preparations FOR a new German as
sault on the western front are report
ed TO be undcr way. 1t Is believed in
London that following the fail of
Przeraysi, the Germans may undertake
a serious offensive movement in
France or Belgium. Along the western
end of the line north of Ar1as. rein
forcelnents have been brought up by
the Germans II the allies have been
driven from some positions gained in
the recent fighting.
In Galicia heavy fighting continues
all along the front. From Vienna re-

German armies are still sweeping back
the Russians. The Petrograd war Of

reports that the Germans are moving
along the User canal.
