600 MILE OF
BATTLEFRONT
Paris. March IS—Word from the
east ami west fronts convey the news
that apparently the spring movement
of the Allied troops agamst the Ger
mans has begun. In the neighbor
hood of Lille the fighting has been
ineessant for several days, with gains,
many of them of a substantial nature,
reported from several points. The
Germans are evidently making a great
effort to capture or reduce Xieuport,
aud they have at least two or three
of their famous 42 centimeter mortors
hurling shells into the place. The
British are retaliating by bombarding
Westende with the monitor fleet, and
their airships have located and som
pelled the retreat of several of the
advance bodies of the Germans among 1
the sand dunes.
On the eastern battlefront. the Rus
sians are advancing along a line al
most six hundred miles in length.
The fighting which began along the
banks of the river Xieman on the
north, has now spread south through
Russian Poland. thence. eastward
through Galicia to the River Dniester
or. the south, in the form of a huge
bow. In number of men employed
and scope of country covered, the Rus
flan movement is undoubtedly the
greatest in the history of the world.
She has called in her reserves from
the futhermost corners of the globe,
and with Britain's resources keeping
her supplied in arms and ammuni
tion, she is demonstrating the wonder
ful recuperative qualities of her
people. t
Kitchener is believed to have his
army now in the field, two months
and over before it was expected, and
every man able to bear arms in
France is now either at the front
on in the reserve camps ready to be
sent against threatened points.
