The allies' and the Germans'
utories of developments in the
European fighting: zones con
flicted sharply today.
In France the allies declared
they, were advancing both at
right and left, the situation at
the center alone remaining un
changed. The German right was said to
lie partly flanked and some of it
in danger of being cut off.
The Berlin version was that,
though the battle had not
reached a decisive stage, the
Germans were gaining.
Even the allies admitted the
kaiser's right had been strongly
reinforced and was fighting
ferociously.
In turn the allies had rush'' J
three army corps to their lefts
assistance.
Indian troops 75,000 strong
were said to have arrived to he'p
the Franco-British armies but it
was not known whether or not
they had reached the front yet
Losses were such that all
medical corps were hopelessly
swamped.
The Gormans asserted two of
Antwerp's forts had fallen.
The allies denied this point-
blank. ; .
At anv rale the Germuns slMI
bombarded the city.
The Russians announced they
had broken the German center
in Suwulkl province; that the
kaiser's troops were retreating
from the Niemen river and that
the r( renin was filled with their
dead.
In this Identical locality the
Germans said they had checked
the Russian offensive
. Advancing Into Russian Po
land from Silesia, the Germans
were lined up between ' Pet ro

strongly. .
