Battles OF heavy proportions have
been in progress In all the war thea
ters except the Balkans. Successes

and two British steamers are reported
to have been sunk by submarines. All
their crews are believed to have been
saved.
Dr. Won Bethmann- Holweg, the
German chancellor, has returned to
Berlin after a visit to army head
quarters, where he discussed the
American note to Germany concern

man leaders. The chancellor's early
return is taken to indicate that Ger
manys reply has been formulated.

the taking of several German posts In
the Avocourt road. Hill No. s04 is

of the Germans.
Trenches taken by the Germans
from the British on the Langemarck-
Ypres road have been evacuated, ow-
ing to floods, which made their con-
solidation impossible.
Gains and Losses i'm Each.

big guns against the Ikskull bridge
head on the Russian front and farther

in the Lake Narocz region. The an

have captured an important sector of
the Turkish position. Constantinpple
says that south of Bitlis, the Turks
have defeated the Russians and sent
them in retreat toward Bitlis.
In an engagement east of Mlsh, the
Russians were again forced to re-
treat. An attempt of the Russians to
debouch south of Trebizond was
stopped by the Turks. Fighting is in
progress between the Turks and a
Russian detachment which landed on
the Black sea coast, ten miles west
