ministers of war and the navy have

meet in conference with the military
leaders and the military attaches

battle in Flanders seem to show
that the anglofrench forces were
successful on the northern wing of
the battle for Berlin. too. admits
that the French who again aided
the British In their attacks against
the German lines conquered about
l 500 yards of territory near Drai-
bank, ON the extreme left wing OF
the present fighting front. A small
loss OF territory near the railroad
station of Poelcapelle is also admit
ted in the Berlin report which calls
special attention to the bravery Of
the German soldiers and to the fact
that they succeeded in preventing
the British from pushing their lines
forward in the centre and on the
southern wing OF the battle front.
According to the German report the
British employed not less than II
divisions, about 100000 men. on =
front of about 20 kllometers. 10000
men to each kilometer. The strength
of the French forces is not given
but it is probable that they also
made use OF the mass formation In
order to gain their detectives. .Ber-
lin also claims that the repeated
attacks Of these dense masses broke
down 1nder the heaviest losses, while
the reports from London speak Of
only siignt losses incurred by the
attacking troops.
Aside from heavy German counter
attacks against the newly won posi-
tons of the French near Draibank
no new infantry actions took place
on this day the Anglo-French troops
being busy with consolidating their
gains from the previous day.
Berlin reports heavy artillery ac-
tions along the road leading from
scissors to Laon. French attacks
are reported to have failed under
German artillery fire. The Paris
report does not mention this part
of the front at all put II is admitted
that the Germans attacked in the
Chaume wood, northeast of Verdun
and succeeded in penetrating the
French positions there at several
points. They we're prevented from
advancing further by the quick ac-
tion of tie French artillery.
1t has become a little more lively
on the Italian front. On the northern
portion Of this front, between the
Etsch and the Brenta, there were
intense artillery actions. East of
Goerz the activity Of reconnoitering
parties was notlceabIe.i On the Carso

activity is also reported from Petro-
grad. Official reports say that the
Germans heavily bombarded the
Russian positions in the Riga sector.
The road leading from Riga to
Pskow seems TO have been the
centre of activity. There was com
parative calm on the rest OF the
fronts.
The weekly statement Of the
British government as 20 British
ships lost through the activity Of
German submarines shows that IA
ships Of more than 1000 tons and
two of less than 1,500 tons were
sunk. Besides. three fishing vessels
were lost. The French government
admits the loss Of three big and two
small steamers. while the italian
government announces that two big
steamers and one small sailing ship
were sunk.
