German divisions, or $4,000 men,
have taken part in the fighting and
that troops have been moved from
every part of the western battle front
to reinforce the armies which have
been forcing the British to fall back
Observers at the front say that the
German losses have been frightfuL
and that the enemy has lost from ten
to twenty per cent of his men, by the
most conservative estimates
Activity on Italian Front.
While the German line of communi-
cations has been growing longer, the
British have constantly moved nearer
their base of supplies. 1t is probable
that the line where stern battles will
be given is not far away from the pres
ent position of the allied armies.
There has been continued activity
on the Italian front, but no attacks
of Importance have been made by
either side in this theater of the war.
The American lines in the LuneVille
and Toul sectors have been lombard
ed once more, but no infantry fighting
is reported there. North of the SOM
me battlefield there have been no en-
gagements of significance.
British Advance in Palestine.
The British troops in Palestine have
captured the village of Es-Salt in the
hills to the east of the Jordan and far
in advance of the rest of the line run
ming west to the Mediterranean.
The Russian Bolsheviki are reported
to have recaptured the city of Khcr-
son fran the Germans.
