SUMMARY OF WAR

Favorable weather on most Of the
western front has led to increased
fighting but none Of the armies has
yet made an attack in great strength,
All apparently are keyed up 20 the
highest pitch and the raids into op.
posing. trenches are becoming strong
er each day.
In the Champagne where the Ger
man artillery has been very active
the French have withstood q Ger
man attack. The effort was rspuIsed
by the French with severe losses to
the attaekers.. American raidina
parties and American sunners both
are busy on the sectors northwest OF
Tool and west of LuneVille. The Ger
mans do not remain in their trench

the rear lines when General PERISH
ing's men appear.
British troops in the Ypres area
Wednesday took the initiative and in
a raid southwest of Polyaon wood
captured 81 prisoners and three ma
chine guns and inflicted casualties on
the enemy. The German artillery
activity is intense on the Ypres sec :
tor and between Arras and Armen-
tieresi where strong German raids

On the coastal sector in Palestine,
north Of Jaffa. the British have ad-

the, Turkish resistance. A sIiuht
advance also has been made on the
Jerusalem NabuIus road in central
Palestine.
In the east the Germans now hold
Odessa, the great Russian seaport on
the Black sea- which probably will
be used either as the base for an in
Vasion of India by way Of Persia or
as the terminal Of grain shipments
from Russia to the central empires.

gium, March ~, Tuesday.-This has
been another day Of ideal lighting
weather but there has been no

and German military machines. tuned
up TO the finest pitch and probably
| as nearly perfect as 1t lis possible to
make them-are still awaiting tha
signal which win send them crash-
ing against each other.
Meanwhile the artillery pounds
away in thunderOus. duels at varioaa
points and myriad airmen are busy
bombing, photographinR and acting
as eyes for the respective armies.
The British airmen have been do
ing marvellous work recently. The
first ten days OF March, as a whole.
have been among the best yet records
ed for the service. During that
period. in addition 10 a vast amount
of accommodating and phouographing,
the intrepid Britishers destroyed
thirty-nine airplanes and brought
down forty others out OF control,
despite the fact that the first two or
three days OF the month were so
stormy that aerial activity was
virtually impossible. Against the
great total. fifteen British machines
are reported missing.
Yesterday another fine record was
made, but the official figures are not
yet available.
British On Offensive.
There have been many air battles
and virtually all have occurred be-
hind the German lines. which means
that the British airmen have been
carrying the aerial war vigorously in=
to the enemy territory OF the GER
man machines destroyed, all but tive
were sent crashing down back OF the
German lines. The amount OF photog-
raphy work that has been done ia
amazing and a large number of the
pictures were taken at close quar-
ters.
Bombing raids by British aviators
have been almost continuous. One of
the most successful expeditions was
that against three enemy airdromea
on March 3. This raid was carried
out by a large number Of machines
during the daytime. a British aerial
fleet arrived at an hour when nlNu-
bers Of German machines about tn
start were standing in a field near
their hangers. The British attacked
at a height Of 400 feet and. because OF
their low altitude. wera able to shoot
with disastrous effect. Several buiid-
inRs were set on FIRE and direct hits
were observed among the German
machines.
The British returned. flying at a
height or a hundred feet. which iusE

Equally effective was the shooting

Councilman John E. Wilson is
strong advocate of something being
done to Commerce Street before win
ter weather sets in. In the absence of
treasury funds to make extensive i'm
provements, along with the seeming
inability to get labor and material in
these times, he suggests filling in the
holes atleast, with cinders which are
more or less plentiful at the Electric
Light and Water Plant. The expert
ment will be tried out, but the impress
sion prevails that any improvement to
Commerce Street not of a permanent
nature is a waste altho there is no
disputing, the fact the filling of the
holes will be a temporary improve
ment worth while. Council made the
mistake they did not go deeper and
borrow the money to brick Commerce
Street at the same time Main Street
was done. 1t would have been money
saved, for probably not for many
years atleast will an opportunity be
presented to do such permanent work
as cheap.
