 Again there has come a pause in the battle of Flanders, where the ground everywhere is covered with the gray-clad bodies of German dead, and the British and French are holding securely to all their positions.
 From Saturday until well into Mon day night General VontArnim's forces continued their efforts to break the British lines on the Ypres salient and to press back the British and French from the high ground to the south west. but everywhere their efforts were fruitless. True. they gained their objective an dagain captured Locce, hut counter thrust forced them out again and at last accounts the French were holding the village.
 In the hilly region just to the north of Locre the British also pushed back the enemy at several points, notably between Kemmel and La Clytte.
 All Attacks Fail
 Much Of the snap of the German attacking forces has been absent from the maneuvers they have been carry ing out in Flanders under the stiffened line of the entente troops which has been apparent since last Sunday.
 To the south near Amiens and 10 the east around Noyon the enemy like wise has failed in all his attempts to push further forward.
 The British, east of Villers- Breton neux, which lies directly east of Amiens, have advanced their front and in the Noyon sector, the French have re-established their lines which the Germans previously had captured from them.
 The Germans on various sectors of the line are still hurling tons of steel against the British and French posi- tions, but the allied guns are every where answering them in knd.
 War Council Meets
 While the present halt in the battle possibly indicated the near approach of the throwing into the fray of the great reserve army which General Foch has gathered, that such is the intention of the supreme commander of the allied forces has not become apparent. It is not improbable, now ever, that at a meeting of the inter- allied war council in Paris Wednes day, which will be attended by the French, British and Italian representatives, measures having in view the turning Of the tide of battle will be uppermost in the discussions.
 In all the various war theaters eX- cept the western the situation remains relatively calm, so far as fighting is concerned All along the front in Italy reciprocal bombardments con tinue and small maneuvers by recon noitering parties are being carried out.
 In Macedonia, the Serbians in the region of Monasti ragain have entered an enemy position and annihilated the garrison. They also have been sue cessful in repulsing an attack by Bull garians, which had as its object the of positions of Vetretsk talk l en by the Serbians a week ago.
 Austria Seeks Peace
 The emperor of Austria Hungary is again reported in Swiss advices to be l holding out the olive branch of peace 1. this time in the direction of Italy. | He is said to have appealed to Italy l 10 consider the proffer in her own in- | terests.
