The Frénch official statement re- fibns comparativé ‘quiet in Flanders and artillefy engagements of relative- 1y minor importance elsewhere. In the region of the Meuse the German bat- teries are said to be moving north, indicating that the German wedge :south of Verdun is being withdrawn. In the Woevre district the French cap- tured a trench and repulsed two counter attacks. The advance of the French line into Alsace has brought it to a point north of Altkirch and about ten miles to the east of the frontier. English and French newspapers unite in declarlng that the time is drawing near for the much discussed general advance of the allies through France and Belgium and some unoffi- cial reports say this move already has begun. Progress necessarily would be slow and even the most optimistic of British observers, assuming that a general forward movement of the al- lies is to be essayed, concede that it would be spring before any apprecl- able progress could be made. French Attacks Repulsed. The German statement says small attacks by the French on parts of Ger- man positions between the River Meuse and the Vosges mountains were repulsed easily and that nothing else of importance remains to be reported from the western theater of the war. The feat of Lieutenant Commander Holbrook in diving under five rows of mines in the Dardanelles and torpedo- ing the Turkish battleship is describ- ed in London as perhaps the boldest marine exploit of the war. marine presumably was not scratched. She escaped gunfire and the pursuit of torpedo boats in a manner truly remarkable and it was necessary for her crew to endure the ordeal of re- maining under water for nine hours: at a stretch. .
