The Germans have renewed their offensive in the vicinity oi Y pres and I):xtnude, where several utleiupts to breakthrough the allied lines to the coast of France were repulsed after the most severe fighting of the war. Despite the Austro-German armies have suffered in the east, where the Russians have set their feet ou German territory, the Germans are said to be still sending reinforcements to the west in an endeavor to break down the resistance of the French, British and Belgians. There has been no decisive action along the whole front, but each side is making gains which may count when the crisis is at hand. With the tremendous forces opposing each other, and progress necessarily must be slow, but both the allies and tin Germans express satisfaction wit', the way in which the battle has gi thun far.

The next, it is 1 1 expected will be made l>y /-von mrrt ' advances from the front. I All the military writers agree < that the effort will he of the first i in - < porlattce to the Germans.

They will, there- | a fore, strain every nerve and anew f in this battle of Ypres and the fight 1 ing is likely to he of a character 1 even more Intense than anything ii that has gone before. If the allies ! 1 successfully resist the new onslaught .e in the opinion of military writers.!. the day when France will be freed of j the '.nvaders will be brought Hens!-1 b bly nearer. d The fortunes of the war In the I west are becoming more and more bound up with the progress of the Hussions, according to the general opinion here. If the latter succeed h in making a serious threat in h Silesia within a short time the (ler- j fj mans, It la anticipated, will have toL, withdraw troops from their western ! front, and this will enable the allies ^^ to advance more quickly. There Is T ** apparently ro abatement of tho feel- j u tng of optimism reigning in both the < g French army and among the French o people. & COTTON GINNING IS VERY ACTIVE Amounted to 2,207,114 Bales During liiwt Period?Total to Date O.X28,G9r> Bales.
