THE WAR At A GLANCE

Ypres. which is being bombarded
violently.
From Vorenmezeele westward
there has. been no fighting as was
witnessed on the last week. except
around Lorce. where a German at
tack was repulsed yesterday af-
ternoOn- A fOothold was gained in
Locre' Saturday by the enemy.
Locre and the road running north
ward separate Scharpenberg from
Mont Rouge. These two heights
are links in the chain OF hills
running westward from Mont
KENNEL and the German purpose
evidently is to drive the French
peLore them and take the eleva-
ton by flank movements.
ARTILLERY Activity Heavy
In Picardy there has been no
activity except by the artillery,
the German cannon being very
active on the front east OF Amiens
from Nillers- Bretonneux TO the
Luce river. The French official
announcement last Wednesday
that American troops are now
aiding the British and French in
holding up the German advance
toward Amiens Is confirmed in an
Associated Press dispatch direct
from the new American positions.
The German artillery on the
Luul sector is keeping up an In
termittent fire against the Amer
lean positions. Ii is believed the
Germans hope by this show Of
activity to prevent the movement
OF American troops TO the north.
New Russian Revolt UncOnflrmed-
Dispatches from Petrograd and
Moscow each dated Tuesday last
give no indications Of the report
ed revolt in Petrograd on behalf
Of the former grand duke Alexis
N1kolaievitch. Swedish and Nor
Weglan correspondents in Finland

that Alexis has been proclaimed
emperor and that the new govern
ment will not be bound By the
German peace treaty.
Meanwhile the Germans and
white guards are rapidly ap-
preaching the Russian border
north Of PetrOgrad and the disso-
luton Of the red guard revolt Is
said not TO be lar off
The two largest red guard
forces have been cut off from

States, has issued a statement that
voluntary enlistments in all depart
ments of the army will be suspended
for the balance of the war and tha;
no more civilians will be allowed to
enter officers training camps. IN
plain English says Bismarck milf-
tary man, this means that all future
officers are to come from the ranks
of the present and future enlisted
men and that no more special enlist
ments will be had, whereby some civil
ians took up the branch OF service
that they deemed they liked best. or
ficers will come from the boys that
are shouldering the guns today, which
will appeal to all fair-minded men as
being in line with democracy and pro-
motion on merit. If you want to wear
