Ever, Germans Making Fierce
Eut Unsuccessful Attacks.
Germany has declared wal or
Portugal. Thus 13 countries
now are engaged in the intcrna-
tional struggle.
Declaration of war was made
by Germany chiefly on account
of the recent seizure of German
merchantmen interned in Portu-
gese ports and Portugal's refus-
al to rescind this action and once
more place the ships under the
German flag. A long series of
alleged breaches of neutrality by
the Portuguese government also
were contributing factors.
Fighting between the French
and the Germans northwest and
north of Verdun has in no wise
slackened. Particularly violent
have bee nthe attacks of the Ger
mans to the north of Verdun,
around Dauaumont. the village
of NauX and Fort VauX. but ac-
cording to Paris, they went for
nauEht.
The Germans were thrown in
solid formation against trench
eS Of the French bordering the
foot of the ridge dominating
Fort FauN which the latest Ger
man report said the Germans
had captured the French border
ing the foot of the forces with
enormous losses.
Northeast of the fort the Ger
mans essayed an assault against
the village of VauX from which
they previously had been driven
by the French but here also they
were repulsed with heavy casual
ties.
To the west of the Meuse,
between Bethincourt and
the river the French have con-
tinued on the offensive in the
CorbeauX wood and are officially
to have driven the Ger
mans from almost all of that
salient.
In the Eastern theatre the
Russians at various points have
taken the offensive against Ger
man advanced positions but Ber-
lin declared they nowhere met
with success.
The Russians on the Black
Sea coast continue to press to-
ward Turkeys principal port,
Irebizond. and also are making
progress against the Ottomans
in the Persian sector.
The Russian foreign office ca
tegorically denies that Tr~kov
has made peace proposals OF any
kind.
