ARTILLERY FIRE
STILL CONTINUES
ON ALL FRONTS

Still another day has passed with
out the Germans renewing their Of
fensiyc in Flanders or Picardy. No
where have there been infantry op-
crations by either side on these bat
tie fronts. or for that matter in any
of the numerous theatres of the war,
risen in importance above patrol en-
Gagements.
North of KENNEL, where tho Ger
mans on Tuesday gained u footing
on Hill A, one of the bloodiest sec
tors on the western front, the lost
vantage points have been retrieved
through the persistent counterat-
taCks of the French, who succeeded
in expclling the enemy from the
sheu-holes along the slopes to which
he had been tenaciously holding. Not
alone were the Germans forced to re-
cedc, but the French advanced their
line and also took prisoners.
Likewise south of Hailles, in the
Amiens region, the French have TAX
en- another bite into the German line,
and successfully warded off a Ger
man counter attack launched in an
endeavor TO recapture the lost
ground. The Germans in these man
cuvers suffered heavy casualties and
also lost men made prisoners.
Throughout Wednesday the British
were left severely alone by the Ger
man infantry.
Although the enemy is keeping his
infantry TO their trenches, he con-
tinues to use his artillery vigorously
against salient positions held by the
British and French all along the front
especially against Field Marshal
HaigS forces south of Albert and
ganst the French north Of KENNEL.
The French north of Montdidier and
along the curve in the battle front
between Montdidior and Noyon also
have been under an intensive fire
from the German guns.
American aviators on the Toul
front are continuing TO perform not
able deeds of bravery in the air
against the enemy flers. Wednesday
witnessed three additional planes in
this region brought to earth by Am
erican airmen, all of them having
been shot down. The French. in
recognition Of the bravery of the Am

entire accord regarding the aims which
guide us"
An official dispatch from Berlin today
says that row the main lines for the
cementing of the alliance between Ger
many and Austria have been fixed, the
political military and economic negotia-
tions Will doubtless begin shortly.
1t is obvious, adds the dispatch. that
the political and military arrangements
can be carried through faster than the
economic. which will probably take sew
eral months to complete.
The phrase in the official report ~ the
emperons' conference regarding the CON
solidation and deepening of the alliance,
says the Berlin TaSehlatt, permits OF the
assumption that the aim of the Convcn-
tion is a close military and politicai
union and a complete blending of re-
sources.
Germany, during the course Of the
conference of the two emperors. agree
to the solution Of the Polish question
desired by Austria on condition that
Austria Hungary conclude a 10 years
