Late WAR news SUMMARY

Capture of another town in Alsace to
the south of Sennheim is reported by
the French War Office in its statement
of to-day. The German communication
neither affirms nor denies the report,
saying merely that fighting is still in
progress for possession of the town.
1t is stated, however, that repeated
French attacks in Alsace broke down
under the German artillery fire.
In few other localities between the
North sea and Switzerland sharp fight
ing Is in progress in which each side
has scored its minor victories, but over
most of the line there is little activity.
The armies in the east are similarly
inactive. The German communication
mentions an engagement east of the
Rawka river, where, IL is said, the ad-
vance is still in progress, but the spec
tacular clashes of great masses of
troops during the early part of the war
have no parallels now along the War
saw front.
