of the Russians against the Teutonic allies seemingly has begun. From
 both Petrograd and Vienna come re- ports that the Russians are actively en- gagged over front from the Pripet
 river. east of Brest-Litovsk, to the Roumanian frontier--a distance of about 250 miles.
 The Russians everywhere are using large numbers of guns and men, and, according to Petrograd, have achieved successes on many important sectors, taking 13,000 prisoners and number of guns and destroying or capturing Teuton positions.
 Along the Bessarabian front, in the Dniester region, along the lower Stripa and in Volhynia the Russian attacks have been particularly violent. In the region of Olyka, in the zone of the Volhynian fortress triangle, the Rus sian guns have heavily snelled front of more than 15 miles in length held by the Austrian archduke, Joseph Fer dinand.
 Around Verdun bad weather has set in and as a result the infantry of both sides have kept to their trenches and only bombardments have taken place. No new changes in position are re- corded. Around vaux and Damloup northeast of Verdun, the bombardment on both sides has continued with con- siderable intensity; while to the west of the Mouse the shelling has been only intermittent.
 On the remainder of the front in France, except around Ypres. the situ- ation is reported quiet. About Ypres, however, the Germans and Canadians are continuing the violent fighting that has been in progress since last week when the Germans, under 8 terrific rain of shells, captured Canadian posi- tions, which later were retaken in hand -to-hand and bombing encounters Returning to the attack Sunday, the Germans again forced the Canadians to relinquish the bulk of the recap tured ground, but the Canadians are disputing strenuously the efforts of the Teutons to oust them from the re- mainder of the positions.
 Vienna reports that notwithstanding the sturdy resistance of the Italians, the Austrians have made further ad- vance into Italy in>the Cenzio zone neaF Asiago. The town of Ceisana and $500 Italian prisoners, three cannon and Il machine guns and 126 bomb throwers were captured by the Austrians Rome admits the retirement of the Italians in the Cengio zone, but says that in the Da1gone valley, the Laga- rina valley and on the Posina front Austrian attacks were repulsed with heavy losses.
 In southern Albania, in the region of Avlona, the Austrians have dis persed with their artillery Italian de- tachments operating in that vicinity. | it's work in Birmingham and this dis 1 trict alone.
