That the Germans have gained ground In their encircling movement on the French left wing Is admitted by the French foreign office, but it it asserted alHo that after a three daye,' battle in this region the An-Alo-French line, although pushed "tack, still remains unbroken. This is described U4 the "wearing d-.wn" policy on the part of the al lied armies, and it is claimed that the losses of the attacking forces have been much greater than those of the defenders.

A similar si lence was observed during tho fighting around Mons, Cauibral and LeCatneau last week The latest report on the situa tion north of I'arls was Issued I a fit night. It said that the French luft, owing to the prog ress of the German right wing, had been forced to "mark a new retirement." Explaining this an nouncement, the French embassy in London announced: "The An-filo-French army corps have had to give ground, but nowhere have they been broken through." The fighting now, in which the allies are believed to be op posing the German advance, in thought to be centered around LaFere, a strongly fortified Olse, seventy-five miles north eust of Paris. The fate of the French capital may hang on the outcome of these operations. It Is not definitely known whether the Ilrltish troops in France have been engaged again or not. A news dispatch from Dieppe says . a great battle has been fought at Crolsllles and probably Is still in progress. No details ar given, nor had this report been received from any other source. Crolsllles is ten miles southeast of Arras, In the Depart ment of Pas de Calais, and 1b about fifteen miles from Cam bral.
