The 14th day of the great allied of fensive which ban resulted in driving hack the Germans from the Marne re gion uorthward across the Qurca JUver and hi materially bending in the eastern and western aide of tbe great pocket, with its month ruunlug cross country ;t0 miles from Soissons to Rheiuis, saw little activity on the part of either of the cont.eudlug forces, except in tbe na ture of reciprocal bombardmeuts. Tuesday night witnessed violent at tempts by the Germans to expel the America u0 and French from the valu able position* they hold north of Ourc?i in the region of Fere-en-Tardenois along the western . wide of the salient uear Oulchy-le-Chatcau, where Scottish troops are holding wHh the French the wedge that has been driven eastward into the enemy line. These efforts were entirely fruitless. ^ - A watchful eye Is being kept by the TT(irifiaTiN "oTi the Americans standing at the apex of the battle line near Fere en-Tardeiiois. and the enemy gnns are showering their posltidns K|<,nt *|iiantitleH high explosives and gas shells.

Whether the Germans have cliowfn the apot where ultimately ? they ; will fpee about and give battle to tbe allied forces lias not yet become npparent. , Likewise whether their retreat finally has ended, is not kn6&'ii. Great fires beliinct the lines possibly might indicate the de-/ struction of further villages which it is Intended to evacuatc and press on north ward to a chosen battle line. I * With the approach of the commence ment of the fifth year of the war the German emperor evidently realizes the seriousness of the situation. In a proc lamation to his army and navy he tells bis men they are facing the hardest struggle of the war but that they will be able to foil "tbe desperate efforts ^if the enemy." What may result iu aggravating the already serious situation between the Germans and the Ukranirfns is the as vassination of Field Marshal von Eick horn. the German dictator in the Ukraine ami his adjutant. They were killed by the explosion of a bomb thrown by a native in Kiev. ' .-'.V I| " . 1 1_ 1 ' 11 v ? * ? Lieut. * Sanders Killed. A. K.
