FRENCH PUNCH

ENEMl' 4iNE
Russians Are Again Reported
to Be Holding
WEATHER HALTS WAR
Operations on Both Fronts Seem to
Be en- Smaller Scale at Most
Points.

On none of the battle fronts OF
Europe has the fighting activity Of the
past "a hours been marked In
Flanders, however, the great artillery
battle continues most violently, SEEM
ingly preparing the way for further
heavy infantry activity.
The only infantry engagement in
Flanders has taken place on the line
between Ypres and Dixmude with the
French troops the aggressors in both
instances. Northwest of Bixschoote
the French have enlarged further the
gains made on Wednesday. South
west OF Bixschoote in the region south
of Langemarck the French have
made some progress into the German
linc.
Terrain conditions in Flanders, made
more difficult by the rains OF the past
10 days, are such that without the de-
struction of enemy defenses by artil-
lery fire, it is nearly useless to throw
forward infantry attacks There are
indications that the Anglo-French
guns of all calibers are engaged in
levelng the German defense posi-
tions. The German general staff re-
ports the artillery fire in Flanders as
very great and says it has been espe'
cially heavy on the Belgian coast and
from Bixschoote to Hollebeke. The
latter sector takes in most Of the i'm
portant Ypres salient
Except for several local raids by
the French, there has been no infan'
try activity on the long line from St
Quentin to the Swiss border. The
French and German guns. however
are hammering the opposing lines
along the Alsne front in Champagne
and on both banks of the Meuse in
the Verdun region.
Apparently the Russians have
checked greatly the Austro-German
advance in Galicia and Bulkowina, as
no notable advances have been made
by the Teutons since the Russian line
stiffened. To the south in Moldavia
the Russians and Rumanians are at
tempting to reoccupy the positions
north of Fokshani lost to Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen's men. They
have attacked the Austro.German'
strong forces but Berlin says the eff
fort failed. The number OF prisoners
taken by the Teutons in this regiol
Is reported to have reached 5000.
