The allies prcat Intensive In Artois and the Chaiu japi.e is still being persevered in. ar.d. iccordint; to French accounts, which, however, are contradicted by the O r mao official reports, further progress baa been made in both ar-?as. In Artois the French claims to l ave re:u h-d Hill 14". which lies dirertly east of Virny and is the cuhuiiia'iiis I'Oitt of the crests named after that town. The importance of the hill lies in the fact that it commands the plains to the east, the network of roads and the railway which r;ms from Lens southward. So far as Champagne Is cone rued, th French appear at present to Le making their chief effort towarJs the railroad junction north of Massiges. which accounts for the desperate ef fort of the Germans to s:em th- tide and for the crown prince's counter stroke in the Arconne, as this railway connects the German arn.y in the Ar jronne with its base at Youziers. British Are Attacking. Perhaps the heaviest fighting since the offensive bejian now is poing on. r r the British are attacl ing the Ger man third line of defense so uth of La Hassee canal, ar.d the Germans have brought up reinforcenn nts against both the British and the French and are making every effort to retrieve the lost ground.

It is reported that the German emperor has arrived at the western front and that he has al ready dismissed some o-' his generals for allowing their lines be pressed Lack to almost the breaking point. Hindcnburg Strikes Russians. Iespito the transfer of some troops to the west, the Germans continue to strike hard at the Russians practically all along their front. Fie'd Marshal von Hindenburg is delivering heavy strokes aeainst Dvinsk, while his col league on his right is pi shing forward to the east of Vileika and Mo'odesh no in an attempt to turn the Russian josition. and has now reached a point to the north of Minsk, to which an other army is advancing on the south. Field Marshal von JTjcker.sen and Prince Leopold of Bavaiia. apparent1?, are inactive, owing doi'it'.ess to the marshes, which are now impassable, but General von Linsengen is still pressing hard on the Russians in Vol hynia. It expected that the weather will Boon put an end to the operations in east, as with the continued rains the rivers cannot be forded, and the Rus sians, wherever possible, are getting behind them. Tt is reported aeain that an Anstro Cerman army, SnO.OuO strong, is as sembling for offensive aeainst Servia Million Dollars' Worth of Property Is Destroyed by Wind of Eigty-six Miles an Hour, Highest Ever Known In the Crescent City.
