In that case it was alee possible that those two women might tell what they saw in the walt- ing foom, dining room and hall just before the shooting in a way to dispell af mystery.

Near the eastern end of the line, in the region beyond Nancy, to-day's French official statement reports the in- vaders have been driven back toward Metz onto German soil. At other points over the long line the offensive has been resumed by the allied forces, after a long period of compara tive inaction. The French claim to have won the advantage in an engagement at the point where the line sweeps eastward from the north, less than sixty miles from Paris. Between Soissons and Berry-au-Bac, to the east of the bend on the line, heavy fighting has been resumed. Apparently the engagement was limited to an artillery |duel, the entrenched Rpsitions of the opposing forces fore bidding the use of infantry. To the northward, along the Franco-Belgian border, the fighting continues with undiminished ferocity. Alonge the Yser, where the struggle has been most intense, the allies have not drawn back, while toward the south further progress has been made between Ypres and Roulers. It became more evident to-day that the recent battles along the shore of the North Sea have been the most terrible of the war. From Emperor William, it is said, came the order that the German advance down the coast must be continued at any cost, and that Calais must be taken. The desperate assaults that followed, particularly along the Yser Canal, have few precedents in military history.
