War Summary

Clear skies have returned to the bat tie front in France and everywhere along the American, British and the French sectors there has been an in- crease in activity by the forces which :t is believed must soon close in a combat
 Official reports. devoid of descrip- tion as they are, indicate that Verdun is once more the scene of heavy artil- lery actions, but this may be only a preliminary to an attack on another sector.

 Another air raid was made on Lon don by the Germans Thursday night. Aided by the aurora boTealis which brilliantly illuminated the heavens, seven or eight German airplanes cross ed the east coast of England.
