infantry flghtng, although not on
ar extremely heavy scale, began again
in Flanders on Sunday. and in two
engagements the Anglo French troops
were victorious.
The weather moderating, troops of
Crown Prince Rupprecht, after an
all-night bomhardment, gained foot
ing in the village or Hollebeke. The
success was only momentary, however,
as the British threw out the Teutons
! by an immediate counter-attack and
took some prisoners Other German
attacks in this area also We're checked.

In an advance in the Cite du Moulin,
the Canadians have pushed their line
forward on front of 1000 yards to
a depth of 200 yards. The Canadians
consolidated the position, which Is

German Attacks Rcpulscd.
German attacks on the Aisne front
have been withstood successfully by
the French. Against Classmates pla-
tteau the Ger,nt.ss made two attacks
which were repulsed. South of Jaw
rincourt the German crown prince
threw strong forces against the
French lines early Sunday. The

and held their line intact.
The Russian political situation has
become calmer. Premier Kerensky
has withdrawn his resignation and

strengthening of the morale of the
Russian armies on the southwestern
front. With all political parties be-
hind Premier Kerensky in his effort to
solidify the provisional government, ii
will be possible for him to carry out
stronger measures for the safety Of
the revolution. The new head of the
armies, General korniloff, also will be
able to use more strenuous means in
keeping Russian soldiers to their duty.

still are fleeing before the Austro-
Germans, who have taken several
more towns.
The repulse of a strong Teutonic
attack east of Kovel and the carrying
out of several raids on the German
lines between Kovel and Chotin in
dIcate that the Russian line here Is in
better shape to make a stand than
that in Bukowina. The assault in the
kovel region was made by seven COM
panies of infantry and the Russians
drove the attackers back to their
trenches.
Argentina is taking a stronger atti-
tude in her negotiations with Germany
over submarine outrages. She has
broken off discussions with the Ger

cerning the sinking of the Argentine
steamer Toro and sent a final note to
Berlin. The Argentine government
asks for conclusive reply to its de,
