Bad weather continues to prevail
on most of the major batatle fronts
but nevertheless the heavy artillery
duels are proceeding and at several
points infantry attacks of small pro-
portions have been carried out
The Germans in one of these
maneuvers which apparently was
more in the nature of raid than an
attack by large forces, entered the
British advanced posts north of the
Ypres-Staden railway, but later were
forced out by counter-attack on the
famous St. Mihel salient, southeast of
Verdun, which has described a sharp
wedge in the battle line since the early
days of the war. French troops have
raided German positions on a mile
front, destroyed the positions and re-
turned to their own line with 17S
prisoners and some machine guns The

tions but says the French were eject
ed from them in a counter-attack.
On the Italian front a heavy snow
is falling, and aside from intensive
artillery duels from the Asiago
plateau to the Piave river and small
patrol encounters, there has been no
fighting worthy of mention.
Praise Presidents Speech.
Both the British and French news
papers enthusiastically endorse Pres
ident Wilson's statement of war aims.
Likewise it has met with the entire
approval of the representatives of
labor in Great Britain. In a mani
festo the laborites say that in the
present statement the labor party can
find no portion upon which the allied
democracies are likely to disagree and
jif it reaches the peoples of the central
powers it will reinvigorate the popu-
lar movement toward peace in those
countries, "and give their demands
for peace a weight and authority that
cannot be denied
Hospital Ship Torpedoed.
The British hospital ship Rewa with
wounded aboard, was sunk by a sub
marine in the Bristol channel last
Friday night. The wounded were
were saved. but there were three cas-
ualties among the crew. The attack
was made at IL o'clock at night, al
though the ship was carrying all the
lights and markings of a ship of
mercy. The torpedo passed through
the red cross painted on the side of
the steamer.
Germany has extended her subma-
rine zone to include the waters around
the Cape Verde islands, Madeira, and
a portion of those of French Senegal.
all off the northwest coast of Africa.
Through these waters lay important
trade routes from the Pacific and In

America to Europe.
Conference Resumed.
According to an Amsterdam dis
patch, which probably emanated from
Berlin, the Best-Litovsk conference
again is in session with Leon Trotzky,
the Bolsheviki foreign minister, and
the German and Austro- Hungarian
foreign ministers and the Turkish
grand vizier in attendance. In addi-
ton to their endeavor to straighten
out differences with the Bolsheviki
the Teutonic allied representatives are
declared to be negotiating with the

their good will.
