WAR SUMMARY

While chief military interest is cen
tered upon the battlefields in the east
where the Russians are having to con-
tend with disaffection in their ranks as
well as with the Germans and Aus
trians, there is sufficient action in pro-
gress on the French front to command
close attention.
The German crown prince received a
severe beating in his recent attack
along a wide front in the Aisne region,
but nevertheless is sacrificing more Of
his troops in renewed efforts TO shake
the French lines. There was violent
fighting last night south Of Cerney. on
this front, but although the French po-
sitions were twice penetrated. the end
Of the fighting showed them to have
remained intact in French hands.
A British attack on the northern end
o. the Besian.France front. which the
intensity Of the big gun fire Of late had
seemed to indicate as impending. has
not yet been delivered.
However raids on an extensive scale
are being continued by General Haig's
troops, and last night they penetrated
German positions on a wide front in
the vicinity Of La Basse and Armen-
tiers. A big raid was also conducted
on German trenches at Greeland hill.
