War Review
The allied armies are not permit
ting the Germans "to get set" for a
aertous blow at the western front.
Here and there along the line there
have been sudden blows at the Ger
man positions, and In all of them
Germans were captured.
The French hare done the most of
this work. On- the front east and
northeast of Locre. on the northern
side of the Lys salient In northern
France and Just to the west of Kem
mel. where some of the more intense
fighting of the wsr hss been going
on, the French have advsnced their
line over a two-mile front. Far to
the south, nesr Rhelms. the French
have sdvsnced Into the enemy's posi
tions as far as the third line of
trenches.
The Australians on the front be
fore Amiens have been active and
have Improved their positions.
Heavy arttllerv firing la reported
from several polnta along the front.
It being especially near Hangard and
south of the Arre. nesr Amiens. The
Gennana also report heavy cannon
ading In the region of Kemmel.
The American sectors have been
the scenes of fierce aerial battles.
The Americans suffered a severe loss
when Raoul Luftberry or Walling
ford. Conn., one of their most fa
mouse air fighters, went to his death
In a thrilling encounted above the
city of Toul.
In the Italian theatre of the war.
the fighting In the mountains east .of
Brents river continues, reports tell
ing of struggles on the slopes of the
mountains.
The French troops in Mscedonla
hsve taken the offensive nesr Lake
Ochrida and have advanced to a
depth of more than If miles at some
points. The object of thla operation
appears to be the straightening or
aa awkwsrd salient in the line.
A new German army, led by Gen
eral von Beulo, la reported to have
been definitely located In front of
'Arras. This army la said to be made
up of units which were not thrown
into the great battles on the Somme
and along the Lys, and It la believed
that it haa bean brought np to the
Arras front to lead the coming at
tack on the allied positions at that
point v
The German reserves are undergo
ing Intensive training far behind the
actual fighting front and are expect
ed to reach the front In time for the
next smash at the allies. It la point
ed out that the German atUck March
SI was timed so that the Germans
were sble to take advantage of the
bright moonlight for several nights.
The moon now la Just past the phase
which signalled the advance from
8t Quentln snd Cambral, and the
I long-expected attack may he launch
ed at any time.. -
