TEXAS
Tne War At a Glance
ANEW attempt to force back
the German line m France
apparently is under way in the
Champagne region, and although no
definite results have been achieved,
a battle of considerable importance
is developing. Attacks of the allies
along this section of the front have
been proceeding tentatively for sev
eral days, but the communication
from the German war office today
indicates that an assault in force
has been launched. It is said that
at least two army corps of French
were engaged and that they were
repulsed after fierce fighting at
close quarters.
In tlie Argonne, Berlin repotts, the
French made five efforts to break
through the German positions, being
thrust back in each instance. The
French statement asserts that the
allies made slight progress m the
Vosges.
ALLIES EXPECT VICTORY
In the house of commons premier
Atquith announced that at no time
previously had the Bntish govern
ment been more confident that the
allies would achieve victory.
ROUMANIAN RESERVES CALLED
The Roumanian minister of the
interior is credited with the state
ment that a representative of his
country had made a formal agree
ment with Great Bntain, France and
Russia for entering the war with
them. Bucharest advices say that
ten classes of Roumanian reserves
have been called out for March 13.
It has been expected that should
Roumania enter the war she would
do so in the hope of enlarging her
territory at the expense of Austria
and with the particular object of
obtaiaJBg Transylvania, which is
fapateted largely Iry Rdumanians. "
RUSSIANS DRIY3JBACK GERMANS
A jerai-oftfcfal statement from
Fetregrad deals with the Russian
offensive movement in northern
Poland near the Prussian border,
wJrtre, it is said, the Germans are
being pushed back steadily. The
fighting in this region is severe,
possession of villages passing back
and forth from one side to the other,
but appreciable progress each day is
claimed for the Russians.
In eastern Galicia, at the other
extreme of the Russian front, the
Austrians are reported to have suf
fered reverses These claims, how
ever, have not been borne out from
either Berlin or Vienna.
FLEET STILL SMASHES FORTS
The great Anglo-French fleet is
still smashing at the Dardanelles
fortifications. Although Constanti
nople admits that some of the forts
have felt the effect of the bombard
ments, it has not confirmed the
statement of the British admiralty
concerning the reduction of the out
er defences. A large force of Tur
kish troops is said to have been as
sembled on the isthmus to oppose
any attempts of landing- parties to
advance on Constantinople,
