ANCL0-FRENCH VICTORIOUS
 IN TWO SUNDAY INFANTRY
 ENGAGEMENTS IN FLANDERS

Infantry fighting, although not on an extremely heavy scale, began again in Flanders on Sunday, and in two en- agreements the Anglo-F French troops were victorious.
 The weather moderating, troops of Crown Prince Rupprecht, after an all- night bombardment, gained a footing in the village of Hollebeke. The sue cess was only momentary however, as the British threw out the Teutons by an immediate counter attack and took some prisoners. Other German attacks in this area also were checked.
 Near Bixschoote, which lies to the north of Ypres, the French are follow ing up their successes of last week. In the attack against the German lines Sunday they made further progress. In an advance in the Cite du Moulin, the Canadians have pushed forward their line on a front of one thousand yards to a depth of two hundred yards The Canadians consolidated the position, which is within a thou sand yards of the center of Lens on the western front of the town South
 
 the British lines on Sunday met with failure
 German attacks on the Aisne front have been withostood successfully by the French. Against Classmates pla- teau the Germans made two attacks which were repulsed. South of Jav- , rincourt the German crown prince threw strong forces against the French lines early Sunday. The French were driven from a small element, but latet ejected the Germans and held their | line intact.
 The Russian political situation has 1 become calmer. Premier kerensky has withdrawn his resignation and there are continued indications of the strengthening of the morale of the 1 Russian armies on the southwestern 1 front. With all political parties be- | hind Premier Kerensky in his effort l to solidify the provisional government 1 it will be possible for him to carry | out stronger measures for the safety of the revolution. The new head of | the armies, General KOrniloff also will 1 be able to use more strenuous means l in keeping Russian soldiers to their | duty.
 In an offensive operation near Baian, | east of CZernowitZ. the Russians have taken more than 40 prisoners and cap l tured three machine guns. In Buko- | Wina, between the Pruth and the Bys- | tritza, however, the Russians still are fleeing before the Austro-Germans who have taken several more towns.
 The repulse of a strong TeutOnic at | tack east of Kovel and the carrying | out of several raids on the German l lines between KOvel and Chotin indi- | cate that the Russian line here is in | better shape to make stand than that in Bukowna. The assault in the l Kovel region was made by seven com panies of infantry and the Russians drove the attackers back to their trenches.
 Argentina is taking a stronger at titude in her negotiations with Ger many over submarine outrages. She has broken off discussions with the German minister to Buenos Aires con corning the sinking of the Argentine steamer Toro and sent final note to Berlin The Argentine government asks for a conclusive reply to its de mands within a reasonable time.
