The British front i'm Flanders is
again trembling with the shock of
great artillery battle. Drumfire Of
the most intense character was
opened this morning. Berlin reports.
Several times of late there have
been indications that an attack was
about to be opened, apparently on
the part Of the British, but none
Of moment has yet developed. Re-
Gently the reports have indicated
the German artillery also very ac-
tive on this front, possibly in an
attempt to check by counter fire any
movement the British might be at
tempting

year and a half the Germans have
made an air raid on Paris. Accounts
from the French capital do not in
dictate that the raid, which was car

suits. The Berlin announcement
states that bombs were dropped on
railway stations and military estab-
lishments.

most active and in addition 10 their
other work have accounted for 81
German airplanes, Is of which
crashed to the ground. The aerial
lighting is described by London as
having been intense, but marked
" successful one for the British,
who aided the artillery, took a
great number Of photographs, and
carried out bombing raids

Russian troops in Galicia appears
TO have its effect in Petrograd

more representative government, the
