HOTEL IS NOT YET KICKED VICTORY
On Finest in France, British, Near
Germans and Arras, Carry Out
Successful Bards Against German
Positions.
By Press.
Aside from the Romanian theater,
little fighting of moment is taking
place on any of the numerous fronts.
In the Northern Dobrudja, the Russians and Roumanians have fared
about, and are giving battle to the
Teutonic allied forces which have been
pursuing them. Just how strong the
stand they are making is has not yet
been made known, the German official
communication announcing it merely
saying that they have "again offered
fighting resistance."
Petrograd reports that attacks by
the invaders near Parlita, on the left
bank of the Danube, were repulsed,
and says also that operations successful for the Russians and Roumanians
are being carried out by scouting
parlies in the direction of Rheimnitza
Buzdu.
On the front in France, the British,
near Rheimnitza and Arras, have carried out successful raids against German trenches and bombarded other
hostile positions at Commencecourt and
near Lassen and Hulluch. The Germans,
for their part, shelled the British line
north of the Somme near Festubert
and Ypres, and south of the Somme
bombarded the French at numerous
points, the French replying energetically.
Merlin reports the repulse of attacks
against the positions of the Teutonic
allies in the German River bend region
of Mifilinia.  In Galicia southwest of Uroly, the Teutonic allies, after a heavy bombardment of Russian trenches, essayed an infantry attack, but were forced by the fire of the Russian guns to seek their own trenches again. Petrograd reports the breaking through of barbed-wire entanglements on the Rivasla River sector by the Russians, and compelling the Teutonic allies there to use.
