Associated Press Summary

Again the British and French war offices recorded aains against the Germans. on the line in France
 Striking in the Champagne sector on front of 1,500 metres, west of tMaison de Champagne, the French captured all the positions previously taken from them by the Germans on ridge Mo- 1S5, and also invaded Ger man fortified work One hundred prisoners were taken in the opera tion.
 In the Woevre region, near Saiche- prey, a raid on the German trenches was successfully carried out, while German attacks between Soissons and Rheims were repulsed.
 The British, on their front, pene- trated the German lines in the vicin- ity of Bauchavesnes, north of Peronne, and also carried out successfully raids to the south of Arras.
 On all the other sectors, the Ger man positions were bombarded and many casualties inflicted on their oc- cupants. Heavy artillery activity is in progress in the Ancre and Somme river sectors, according to Berlin
 The German war office reports the stopping of French attacks at Ripont, i'll the Champagne, and also the de- struction of 16 entente airplanes and two captive balloons, in attacks by German airplanes.
 The London war office announced that nine German machines were brought down or driven down damag- ed, and admits that five British ma chimes are missing.
 On the other fronts, excepting n Mesopotamia and Persia, where 1t is assured the British and the Turks are still harassing the Turks, only minor operations are reported.
 As yet the full details of the caD- ture of Bagdad by the British have not been made public, although an- nouncement in the British house of commons was made, that there was a belief that two-thirds of the Turk ish artillery had been captured by the British or thrown into the Tigris, and that in addition large numbers of prisoners and great quantities of ma terial of all kinds had been taken.
 Again the Turks arc reported by Petrograd to have made a further re- treat, this time leaving Bisitum, 20 miles northeast of Kermanshah, and retiring toward Hadjiabad. Bisitum was occupied by the Russians.
 In Macedonia, there has been in- creasing artillery activity in the Presba lake and Cerna river sectors, probably presaging an early recom- mencement of hard fighting in this region.
 The possibility that Germany is to have another foe arrayed against her is indicated in official dispatches from Peking, which says that the Chinese house of representatives has approved the governments diplo- matic policy, which includes sever ance of relations with Germany.
