Have Made Gains The whole German front is prepar- ing to take the offensive .again along a battle line of no less than 300 miles long. German cavalry has -advanced with- in thertrattettes. of Ostend; Ghent is threatened b1 the invaders.; Miens. screening a heavy Prussian force; have been encountered all through the ter ritory west of Lille, These all are manoeuvring, covering the establishment of the new Belgium battle line reaching out from and con- necting with the German right 1n France. One report says, however, that the French hold the country around 1.4110 safe,. and that: east of Hazebrouk the enemy has been scattered. Between Arras and the Oise the enemy has renewed its attacks with increased fury; the plateau north of Soissons continues to be the scene of vigorous offensive movements by the Kaiser's forces, and Verdun, for eight weeks under almost incessant fire from the German guns, now is to be made the target of the monster howitzers which reduced Antwerp. The official French report on Mon- day night said that the allies had gained ground in some directions and' at no place had they lost any. Baffling every effort by the Ger- mans to break through their lines in Northern France, the allies. are stead- ily forcing the fighting toward Bel- gium. Along the southern arcs, each side impregnably fortified, awaits the de- cision of the west flank and in the north. Vast German Army It is officially announced that the Germans are employing 41 army corps, with reserve, divisions, or More than 2,000,000 men. The allies probably, are in superior numbers. The allies in their- thrust toward Belgium halted counter flanking oper- ations by the Germans, forced back the enemy northward of Arras and fought indecisive cavalry engage- ments along the Belgian frontier to- ward the coast. Meanwhile they im- proved their situation at the hinge of the 'battle line, in the region of Roye, where the most violent blows of the Germans have been parried and where the allies in their turn recovered ground and positions lost in previous days. North of the Aisne the strain has. lessened, because the Germans have been obliged to weaken the centre to oppose the allies' northward .sweep. Along the Meuse the Germans retain their grip on St. Mihiel, but are more than ever on the defensive. In Lor- raine and the Vosges small forces strike at each otner without decisive result. The nature of Gen. Joffre's , opera- tions toward Belgium is indicated by a report which specified a German withdrawal near Arras and cavalry fighting near the. Belgian frontier. Allied successes at Roye, along the Meuse and in the Weeuvre , district are reported. The reports of the French Govern- ment all point. to the feet that :the: allies strengthened their flank" to, maintain an unbroken , front in Nor- thern France while employing strong, independent forces .to. sweep around the German west flank. , ' Germans Out-manoeuvredt daughter Mrs. Norman McLeod of long distancee.

FOILED AN ADVENTURER ltallan' Officer Wanted to Involve His Country In the War The cruise of the Italian -built sub- marine which c.isappeared from the Gulf 01 Spezia some days ago and later turned up at Ajaccio, Corsica, has come to an end. The French author- ities of Ajaccio, who took possession of the vessel, asked Paris what dis- position they rhould make of her. Paris communicated with Rome, Italy sent a destroyer to get the submarine, and there is reason to believe that she is .now on her way home under this convoy. This submarine was ander the com- mand of a retired naval lieutenant, Ahgelo Bellone who left a letter stat - Ing that Italian neutrality was a mis- take and that he was going to take part in the war.
