directed against th allies' - left.
The New, supplementing these official

on the left at least the allies are. not
acting merely on the defensive. The great

remain in a haae aa to whether the

desperate aifuits to burl them bark.

War Summary
Violent attacks and counter at
tacks for possession of the sea
roast in the extreme north of
France continued without decisive
results.
Only one official statement
that from Pnrta bad come
through ' jestrrdsy. It threw
little light on the situation, being
brief and referring to etents of
the day before. v
' The "attacks "of ihe ' Gerniajis,
especially severe at Nieuport,
Dlxmunde and LBsee, Tuesday,
were repulsed, says the French
war office. Thern was no note
worthy change elsewhere on the
battlo front. News dispatches in-dii-ato
the sharpest fighting in the
vicinity of Mile, with a renewal of
activity at vital points all along
the line. ' . ,
Counter claims regarding the
situation in the east leave much to
1 peculation, .There appears, how
ever, little doubt that the Ger
man advance in Russian Poland
has been so successful that War
saw Is seriously threatened.
Frzemysl In Gallria remains in
the possession of the Austro-Ger-man
force. There has been a re
newal of activity Iti'Ktmtern Prussia-
without definite result. A
statement from Vienna, Issued
yesterday, says that the fighting
In central tiallcla has become
more severe and that Austrtsn at
tacks are progressing,
i A news dispatch from Copen
hagen say's that German torpedo
boats have been engaged with an
enemy in the Baltic, off the Prus
sian coast.' No detail are given.
Albania looks again as a pos
sible influence en the attitude or
Italy iowards the war. The
Itallali government has denied
that Italian troops had occupied
Avlena, whhh has been , threat
ened by insurgents since the ab
dication ' of Frlnce William of
Weld. At the same time 'the
Giornale D' Italia 6t Rome de
clares that there is a state of an
archy at " Anions; intimates that
Greece is taking advantage Of the
dlHturbed conditions, and declares
that the Italiau government has
notified the' powers 'that it will
not tolerate 'a violation of the In
tegrity of Albania. '. .
. Rome reports unofficially that
the Anglo-French fleet is still
bombarding Cattaro, Dalmatla.'
Turkey's attitude - is a matter
of concern to all the belligerents.
The Porte is reported have for
bidden warships to enter the Gulf
of Smyrna. The inhabitants of
Smyrna recently- were said to
have been in great fear of a naval
attack. An Athons' dispatch says
that two submarines and soma
aeroplanes are being shipped to
Constantinople through Bulgaria,
A few days ago a! large quantity of
munitions of war consigned to
Turkey by rail were held up in
Bulgaria.
There are further rumors of a
German Intention to begin a great
aerial campaign. Following re
ports that airship sheds were be
ing constructed at Brussels and
Antwerp comes rumors of similar
buildings under way at Ton d em
and Rostock.
Thousands of Belgians who fled
into ' Holland are returning to
their homes. There are, however,
100,000 Belgians la Eortsnd snd
more on their way. Preparations
to give employmen". to these later
ar being made.
