British Front in France and Bel
GUM, Aug. An epoch making Of
fensive, launched by the British and
French against the German lines be-
tween the River Lys and BOesinghe at
daybreak, has, with few exceptions,
accomplished all that had been
planned for the first day of this bat
tie, which. in its early stages, gives
promise of being the greatest conflict
of the war Roughly speaking, the
British penetrated positions held by
Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria,
between Boesinghe and Warneton, and
were in possession of the first three
lines of the German trenches at most
points throughout this front. Reports
received from the French troops,
which are attacking over the difficult
territory between Dixmude and point
near Boesinghe, say they have forced
their way across the marsh studded
and partly inundated region, and cap
tured the first two lines of German
trenches.
The casualties of the entente allies
have been surprisingly light, and the
morale of the men continues at the
highest pitch. The contact between
the British and French armies has
been constant and excellent.
Late Tuesday It was reported that
the Germans had begun a heavy coun-
ter attack at the point where the en-
tente allied forces join.
Paris and London statements tell OF
enormous losses by the Teutons,
whose defenses were completely
crushed over wide front in Flanders,
In addition to capturing ten or more
towns, $500 Germans were taken pris-
oner and hundreds upon hundreds
were left dead on the battlefield.
The Russians, in a severe bayonet
fight on the east banks of the River
Zbrocz, repulsed an Austro German at
tack which was intended to force a
passage across the river after bayonet
fighting.
American destroyers routed two
submarines in clash in European
waters, after one had sunk mer-
chantman.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Prss4dan

that the president Will await until he

it is pointed out, would be in line with
his avowed intention Of taking no pre-
mature steps that might be construed
by Germany a belhgerent one, and
thereby give Germany a chance 70 put
responsibility Oh the United States.
virtual port blockade resulting from
Germany's latest submarine decree has
resulted in an accumulation OF economic
embarrassment which the president be-
heves demands some action Immediate
ly by this government.
According to reports, he received word
that railroads are holding up all ship

Of this and in spite of increased as
