FIERCEST FIGHTING OF
WAR is NOW ON

PARIS, June 1S.-Marking the cen
tenary of the battle of Waterloor, a
great battle is raging for the posses
sion of Lens. Its loss to the forces
of the Germans would readjust the
battle lines from Arras to the sea.
Therefore all forces are battling with
all disregard of their lives. Every
thing is censored tightly. The ten
sion is extreme.
.Petrograd is silent on the enemy's
drive toward Lemberg. The Russians
claim to have taken nine thousand
Austro-German prisoners in the vic
tory in the east of Stryj.
The Austrians' first offensive has
started down the Adige valley. They
wish to drive out the Italian army
goint toward Trient.
The battle at Goritz is raging with
nenewed intensity.
