RUSSIAN ONSLAUGHT ON PRUSSIAN BORDER REPULSEDBY GERMANS | Fall of Przemsyl Expected Within Few Days--British Steamer At- tacked by German Acroplane. GERMANS BOMBARD NIEUPORT; ALLIES ATTACK WESTENDE Two Attempts of Allied Cruisers to Fortifications of Approach Outer Pardanelles, in Conncciton With Mine Sweeping Operations, Report- ed to Have Been Frustrated by Fire From Turkish Batteries, Along the 600 mile eastern front great activity prevails and Petrogyad believes that the opening of the spring campaign is at hand. At no previous 1ime since the war began has there been such continuous fighting over the whole front. The official German communication shows that in the ex- ireme south the Russians are again cn the Prussian border. The report mentions a Russian attack on Lauga- zargen, which is German soil. An ufficial despatch from Petrograd says that the fall of Przemysl, a Galician city, which has been holding out since early in the war against the Russian attackers, is expected within a few days. French and German accounts of the fighting in the west are at complete variance. Each official statement an- nounces successes in Champagne and near the Belgian border. Regarding the battle which has been In progress fur the sput of a hill on the Lorette Heights, both the French and Ger- inans make direct claims of having won. Smyrna Negctiations Fall. Negotiations between the British and Turkish authoritles concerning the port of Smyrna are said in Lon- don to have failed. The vali of Smyrna, after a conference with the Jritish commander on board his flag- ship, declared his intention of resist- ing to the end. A British steamer which reached North Shields reports that it was at- tiicked by a German aeroplane in the North Sea. A bhomb fell on deck, killing one man. British Steamer Torpedoed. Germany has scored again in her submarine warfare on British ship- ring. The British admiralty an- nounced today that the steamers At- lanta and Fingal had been torpedoed. The crew of the Atlanta was saved, but six lives are reported to have been lost on the Fingal. The lack of news concerning the at- tack on the Dardanelies s explained in a despatch from . Constantinople, which says.that only unimportant operations have been attempted by the allied fleet during the last few Gays. Two attempts 6f cruisers to ap- proach the outer fortifications, in con- nection with mine sweeping opera- tions, are said to have been frustrated by fire from shore. German Official Report. Berlin, March 17, by Wireless Telegrabhy to Sayville, N. Y.—The German war office today gave out an official report on the progress of the war, dated March 17, and reading as fcllows: ““The contest for the possession of an eminence on the southern slope of the Lorette Heights, to the northwest of Arras, has been decided in favor of the Germans. “In the Champagne district, speci- fically to the west of Perthes and to the north of LeMesnil, the French vesterday delivered several unsuccess- ful attacks. North of LeMesnil the attacks were renewed with stronger force, and the engagements still con- tinue. French Driven Back. “In the Argonne the fighting has not yet come to an end. French forces have been driven back from the slope to the southwest of Vau- quois, occupied by them. Two French attacks in the LePretre For- est, narthwest of Pont-A-Mousson, re- -sulted im failure.
