Associated Press War Summary
 The British, French and Italian lines still are holding firmly against onslaushts of the Teutonic allies de- livercd with heavy endorsements that have been drawn from the Rus sian front since the cessalicD of hos tlities there during the armstice. The latest attack of the Germans made in the Cambrai regior between Bullecourt and Queant was com- plete failure. when the Teuton losses in men killed and made prisoners are put in the balance with their small gain of ground. Another attack by the German crown prince in the Yer dun sector, which was delivered with large cifectvcs. has met witt, the GUS tomary repulse. while in Ihe high lands of the Italian front, the Aus trians are being held in check by the Italians. The most extensive opera tion was the German attack Wednes- day between Bullecourt ahd Queant. The Bellin war office admits that on- ly a few British shelters and 90 prisoners were taken while Field Marshal iiaig reports that heavy cas- ualties were inflicted OH the enemy all along the front of the offensive, numbers of his dead being left before the entanglements when the impos- sfble task of piercing tle British line became apparent and hurried retreat was ordered.
 Finding that the efforts of the Aus trians to break through the Italian front and debouch upon tine. plain Of Venctia wero futile. German troops have reinforced their allies and nave delivered another powerful assault between the Adigr and Piave rivers. At only one point. however. were tho Tcutonic forces able to dent the line of the defenders on Monte Spinocia, where they secured a temporary foot he'd after having met with heavy casualties. Here the Italians are striving valiantly to retake the lost positions. Snow and mist are ham pcring operations tM this regon.
 Reports as to the progress of the operation between the Bolshevili and Gen. Kaledine in Russia are being clouded by various statements Both sides are credited with victories in different reports.
 One report says that General kalcdines has reached Bostov-on- Don and that fighting is in progress in the vicinity of that city. where men and guns from the Black sea fleet are aiding the Bolsheviki. Another dispatch states that General Korniloff has defeated the Bolsheviki near Diel- gorov. While still another says that Kornjloff has been wounded, and is in danger of capture, and that at- tempts by Kaledines followers to cut of food supplies to the Bolsheviki, in Moscow and Petrograd, from Siberia, have failed.
 The German submarine menace is being held, but has not yet been mas tered, according to the first lord of the British admiralty Tn statement the first lord says the downward trend of mercantile marine losses, the destruction of merchant ships and the number of enemy submarines that are being destroyed all are satisfactory. Another high naval authority says the Germans have been attempting a sub- marine offensive of the greatest pos sible magnitude, and that they have signally failed. and have had to pay a heavy price in vessels lost at the hands of the American and entente naval forces.
