Great Violence Is in Prog
reSS

nouncement of another important gain in

yards wide and 400 yards deep. The war
office also announced that the German
forces had penetrated the opposing lines
for a distance of about two miles in the
northern sector of Woevre. 1t is said
that the allies lost more than 5000 pris-
toner's and great quantities of material.
Paris, via London, Feb. 23.-Fighting
'of great violence is in progress from the
right bank of the Meuse to point south
east of Herbe forest, the war Office an
nounced to-day. North of verdun there

Astatements regarding Russia's attitude
toward Sweden and that of Rumania to-
[ .ward the two groups of belligerents. Rus
{ sia. he declared, is not impelled toward
the coast of Scandinavia and her senti-
ment toward the Swedes is one of sin
F., cerest friendship. She was looking for
an outlet to the sea in quite anotherdirec
tion
As to Rumania, the foreign minister
intimated that in due time she would be |
found on the side of the entente allies |
and would find real support in defending |
herself against the attempts of the COM
mon enemy to interfere with independ |
ence decisions.
Petrograd announces continued pursuit /
OF the remnants of the Turkish army, |
which fled from Erzerum with the taking
of the stronghold by the Russians. News
paper dispatches report the Turks are
,>evacuating Trebizond on the Black sea
fsoast, toward which city, however, an
other body of Turks from Erzerum is
said to be retreatng. The Russians are
making efforts to cut off this force.
The German offensive on the western
front is again commanding attention, its
renewed outbreak having resulted in
what look to be important breaches in
the French lines in Artois while efforts
to push back the French lines near Ner-
dun also had some measure of success.
There is increasing activity along the
front in Russia, but the operations for
the most part are confined to artillery
battles and outpost engagements.
