grins continue to lay down their arms,
and that in addition 1900 Serbians
have surrendered in the last few days,

of the Montenegrin army has declined
to surrender and that fierce fighting
has been resumed in the mountain dis
tricts.
Germans Win a French Trench.
Heavy fighting has been in progress
in France, a French advanced position
on the road between Arras and Lens
being attacked by strong German
forces. The infantry attack was pre-
ceded by mine explosions and violent
bombardment and the Germans cap
tured first line trench on front of
several hundred yards.
French counter attacks were imme
diately inaugurated and portion of
the captured trench was retaken. The
Germans, however, at the close of the
