THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Along the Franco Belgian frontier the
Germans have been still slowly with
drawing and the British who are follow
ing at this are at the edges of the town
of Bapaume which has been an objective
point ever since the drive began on the
Somme.
The advance has been about three
miles along a front of about four miles
and had been made with but little
fighting.
In the far east comes news of victories
for the British, they having taken Bag
dad on the Tigris and are chasing the
Turks far beyond.
Two American ships the "Algonquin'
and another carrying food to Belgium
were sunk without warning but no
American lives we're lost.
All war critics are expecting the "great
drive" to start as soon as the spring
weather permits, if not grecipitated by
minor action sooner.
No active measures of retaliation are
being made by the Washington govern
ment except that the government will
supply arms to merchant vessels.
