ALLIED LINES RESIST ATTACKS BY GERMANS News of Saturday says the British, French and Italian lines are still hold ?ng firmly against onslaughts of the Teutonic allies, delivered with heavy reinforcements that have been drawn from the Russian front since the cessation of hostilities there under tin 'armistice. The latest attack of the Germans made in the Cambrai region between Iiul'ecourt ami Queant, was a complete failure when the Teuton loss?* in men killed and made prisoner ar^ put in the balance with their small pain of ground against the British; another attack by the German crown prince in the Caurieres wood on the Verdun sector, which was delivered with large effectives has met with ^the customary repulse, while in the lands of the Northern front the eiK-my armies are still being held In check by the Italians. A most expensive operation wa>. the German attack Wednesday between Bullecourt and Queant. The B?rlin war office admits that only a few British shelters and 90 prisoners wore taken, while Field Marshal Haig reports that heavy casualties were in flicted on the enemy all along the I front of the offensive, numerous of his dead being left before the en- J i tanglement s, 4 Another Stromr A Mark. binding that the efforts of the Anstrians to break through the Italian front and debouch upon the plain of Vcnetia, were futile, the German troops under General von Buelow have reinforced their allies and with I hem have delivered another power ful assault between the Brenta an . Piave Rivers. At only one point, ho,* ever, were the combined Teutonic forces able to dent the line of the defenders on Monte Sp'noneia, where they secured a temporary foothold. Mere the Italians are striving valiantly to retake the positions. Reports as to the progress of the operations between the Bolshevikt and Kaledines forces in Russia are | beclouded by variant statements. Both sides are credited with victories h* different unofficial versions of the opeartions. One report says Kaledines is besieging Itestov-on-Don and that fighting is in progress in the v; cinity of that city. Another dispacth asserts that General Korniloff had routed the Bolsheviki near Bielgoroi! while still another says that Korniloif has been wounded and is in danger v>f capture. Not Vet Mastered. The German submarine menace is being behl, but has rot yet been mas* U rod, according to the first lord of the British admiralty. In a statert cut the first lord says the downward treild (T mercantile marine loss* i : . the construction of merchant ship* and the numbei of enemy submarinethat arc being destroyed all are sat* i. fa.'toj-y. Another high naval a thority says the Germans have boo attempting a submarine offensive h the greatest possible magnitude bit that they have signally failed ar. have had to pay a heavy price in ve sols lost at the hands of the Americ: n and entente naval forces. Aerial bombs dropped by the G.n mans on a town behind the British, front have resulted in the death of a umber of American railway cngt rn.'ers. In another town German aviators attempted to bomb a marching American column but all the men escaped unscratched although the ivissle exploded dangerously near them. That Saloniki Army. Mr. Bonar Law. in reply said that the Brtiish movements in Mesopotamio and Palestine were by no means movements of conquest.

Regarding the Cambrai operations, Mr. Bonar Law said that according tc all information available to the government, the rumors were greatly exaggerated and in his opinion part * f that exaggeration arose from exag ge rated hopes from the British initial success there.
