Despite the activity of German epies, who are trying to create disaffection in the Rumanian army, the Rumanians and Russians fighting near the north- western border of Rumania_continue to press forward In the Casin and Putna valleys, having captured six ad- ditional villages and added materially to the aggregate of men made prisoner and guns captured. Fifty of the Ger- man spies, disguised as Russian sol- diers, are reported to have been caught and ehot. There has been a considerable fall- ing off in the. intensity of the British artillery fire on the Flanders front, due, according to Berlin, to “the para- vzing influence of our offensive activi- ty.” Here the Germans are said to have concentrated the greatest num- ber of guns that they have ever mass- ed on any one sector and are using them to their full capacity, evidently in an endeavor to ward off any con- remplated infantry attack by Field Marshal Haig's forces. It cannot be said, however, even with the diminution in the intensity of the British fire, that the artillery duel has fallen much below the stage of extreme violence. for all along the front, from the coastal region south- ward, the big guns continue to roar and hurl tons upon tons of steel in regiprocal bombardments.

Other Englisk and French utterances are equally incompat®le with such assumption.” Regarding the Cologne “After t ger cannot a talking with ed an the Erzberger interview, Ehastth Gbur v rterview Herr Erzher- longer be taken seriously. However, for the sake of the public interest, we would urgently request him to discontinue ving the role of Providence to the German people.” The Tages Zeitunz says: “Herr Erzberger talks much, but in the long run averything cannot be overlooked.” The Germania continues to defend the Centrist leader against fattacks from within the ranks of his own party, asserting that while his peace agitation is wholly in accord with the pope’s recent communication he was not influenced by the Vatican's at- titude.
