PARIS, Oct, 26.—Fighting has oon- tinued In the Champagne district and at La Courtine with Iimited fluctuations, ac- cording to the announcemeént made by the {French war office this afternoon. The stubborn French resistance and the of- fonalve activity of the French troops checked the counter attacks of the Ger- means. The text of the communication follows: “The close fighting in the Champagne distriot has continued, in the center of the position known as La Courtine and the fluctuations of the tide of battle have Peen held to a limited area. The stubborn resistance of our troops and their imme- diate return to the offensive were suc- cessful in breaking the counter attacks of the enemy. “A lively attack to the northeast of Massiges made us master of a German trench close to the positions recently con- quered by us. “Army of the Orfent: During the day of October 22 Bulgarian forces attacked the French forces in the region of Strumitsa, along the entire front.

Inspectors were unable in most cases to find any trace of the stolen goods Tacuse of the lack cf identification marks. Their investigations, however, have led department officials to belleve that stamp brokers in a mumber of the larger cities make it heir business to dispose of stolen goods, The department is endeavoring to develop wome means for Identifying stamps and other papers.
