NO ATTACK YET

DATELEsS-Morning advices to the Associated Press say that along the battle line in Northern France the Allies still await the renewal of heavy fighting by the Germans.
 Apparently rainy weather is hin derng the Germans from bringing up supplies preparatory to a renewal of the drive, which has been already delayed much longer than was true of previous iulls.
 Since the beginning of the offen- slve the Allies have been bringing up fresh supplies and troops with which to strengthen their lines.
 Except for fruitless patrol raids by the Austrians and a limited artillery fire, there has been no activity on the Italian front for several days. The Austrians are still withholding their expected drive, and neither Ser lin nor Vienna has mentioned it for several days.
