HEAVY FIGHTING IS
 ANTICIPATED SOON
BATTLES ARE IMPENDING IN FLANDERS, FRANCE AND
 ITALY.
INTENSIVE ARTILLERY DUELS
West of Ypres, in Flanders, Germans Made An Attempt To Enter Brit ish Positions, But Were Repuls-
 ed With Heavy Losses.

New York-Although infantry ope- rations in the major war theaters are of a minor character, it is probat e that big battles are impending in Flanders, France and Italy.
 At .arieus points in these three war zones, intensive artillery duels are going on day and night. They are particularly severe in the region of Ypres and the CambTai sector, where the British are facing the Ger mans, along the Aisne, on the Verdun sector and along the Moselle river and in the Italian highlands from the region of Lake Garda eastward to the Piava river.
 West of Ypres in Flanders, the Ger mans made an attempt to enter Brit ish positions, but were repulsed with heavy losses. An attempted raid against the French positions on Hill 304 in the Verdun sector was stopped with heavy losses to the Germans. These two maneuvers constitute the only activity by infantry forces at any points, except that small British patrols at several places forced cross ings of the Piaye river against the Teutonic allies.
 The British War Office has issued a summary of the British captures and losses in the war during 1917. The total captures on all fronts numbered 114,5 prisoners and 7S1 guns. The losses numbered 2S,379 prisoners and 166 guns. The items include:
 "Western theater 73,131 prisoners; 531 guns captured, and 27.200 prison CTS and 166 guns lost. Palestine, IT,, 646 prisoners aGd 108 guns captured Mesopotamia, 15,944 prisoners and 124 guns captured. No guns were lost in any theater except the Western"
 The official statement from Ger. man great headquarters reads:
 "Western theater. Violent artil- lery duels developed during the after noon east of Ypres and on isolated sectors between the roads leading from Arras and Peronne to Cambrai. Between the Miette and the Aisne and on both sides of the Ornes and the west bank of the Moselle artil- lery and mine firing increased. The infantry activity was limited to fore field reconnoissances.
 conditions in the Eastern theater and on the Macedonian and Italian fronts are unchanged"
 "A raid attempted southeast of Ypres," says the report from British headquarters in France, was repuls. ed with loss by our rifle and machine gun fire.
 "The hostile artillery is active in the neighborhood of Passchendaele.' J
