State Of Virtual Lnaction
 PreUaiLs On AM War Fronts

New York. May 31.-The Associa ted Press makes the following summary of the war news:
 A state of virtual inaction prevails on all the war fronts. In only one theatre has there been any fighting worthy of netr. This was in the Champagne region of France, where the French, counter attacking heavily against positions northeast of Mont Haut. where Wednesday night the Germans in a violent offensive had captured trench elements, drove out the Teutons Thursday and re-estab- lished their former front in it's en- tirety.
 To the west, in the region lying between Soissons and Rheims. there has been a continuation of the spir- ited artillery duels on various sec tors, notably Vauxaillon and Laffaux and south of Berry-au Bac, the Ger mans, for the first time in several months. carried out sapping oper- alton. This netted them portions of trenches which were blown up.

Germans Are Nervous and Watching Lines
 Like Rats Entrapped

With the British Armies in France, May 31-(Via London)-While compar- .ative quiet continues s4tes@reign along most of the western front. the war is far from standing still. That great machine behind the fighting forces continues to move with never-resting energy.
 Artillery duels break out by day and night along the various sectors of the long battle line and there passes now unnoticed an expenditure. of shells which two years ago would have been regarded as little short of marvellous. But the game of modern warfare is ever a progressive one and the miracle of today becomes the commonplace of tomorrow.
 INFANTRY ACTIVE
 The infantry activity lately has been confined wholly to raids and minor local attacks. These are con- ducted mainly for the purpose of keeping in touch with the enemy's movements and intentions. Both the British and Germans have adopted these tactics and the few hours of darkness lately are filled with trench marauding expeditions.

BRITISH LOSSES IN MAY ARE MORE THAN HUNDRED THOUSAND
Report of Casualties for Period Show 1902 Officers and 106,331 Men Killed
 and Wounded

London, May si.-Brfsish casualties as published in May show a total of syoz officers and s.s2l men.
 The British offensive on the Arras front involving some of the severest fight ing of the war. naturally has resulted in a large increase in casualties over the
 inactive winter season. Casualties for the last few months have not been re- ceiyed. but in February the total re- ported was only leis officers and 17,lSb men.
 The assertion of the British that their losses are 50 per cent smaller than in the battle of the Somme, notwithstanding the fact that larger forces are engaged, is rot borne out by the May figures, although in the absence of the casualties report for April early in which month the offensive was launched. the showing is not conclusive. The casualties recorded in the first three months of the Scmme drive were 907. 169 officers ana men. In August of last year the second month of the Somme battle, the casual ties were l27.945, as compared with 1l2.- ga for May. the second month of the Arras battle.
