In view of that determination on the pirt of Great Britain, tho United States ought to get pmposaks of peace from tho allies.

On our left wing on the Heights it the north of tho Ai.sne we navo made slow progicss at certain points. "Thiee attempts by the Geimans to take the offensive against the Hngllsli army have met with de cisive checks from Caronnc. "At Rheims we have also ic pulsed with great vigor three violent counter attacks made at night. Tho enemy has vainly tried to take the offensive against Rhelmp. i "At the centie, from Rhclms to ,the rgonne, the enemy has strengthened its position with im portant fortified works, and has adopted a purely defensive nttltude. "On the east, from Argonne to the Woevrc region, the .situation I? unchanged. "On our right wing- CLorraine and the Vosges) the enemy occupies positions organized for defenso In the vicinity of the frontier." Tho attempts of the Germans to take the offensive near Caronnc were evi dently intended to force back the allies that had succeeded In crossing to the north side of Aisne. (Caroline lies about 22 miles nuith v est of Rheims and 24 miles fiom Sols sons on the north bank of tho Aisne. To the noitheat of Cat on no lies the famous Sol-sonne di ill giound, used by the Vietieh army, wheie big sham battles havo been fought In the past.) Tho Geimans have mounted search lights along the bluffs overlooking tho Alsne and the river is swept at night to prevent any surprise movement. The fighting is especially dej-perate on the left, where the Joint aimios of Generals von Kluk and von Uuelow have been compelled to extend their extreme right in order to meet a flank ing movement in force. Xo news of tho outcome nt that point Jh as yet available, hut the military experts he llovo that the most significant develop ments must soon be teportetl there. J The French ami British artillery has failed to dislodge tiro invodeif. from their stionsly entrenched positions on the heights along the A lane and north of Rheims. But on tho other hand, the vigor of the allies assaults has coin polled the invaders to iciuain upon the defensive tioncial uullietu. the Trench military governor, believes that tho battle will continue for some day yet upon tho piesent field, but he reals, assured that the Geimans will be dislodged when tho British and l-'tench secure rein. ! forcoments of hea aitillety along the j front 'The ueimati arc far fruin Teniflu fighting continues nlong the Alsno Hlver, the allies nttueklhg the i (Jeimiui defenses.

It a!-o states that action is still vigorous along the San, though the Russians out number the Austrlans .1 to 1, General Zlegler is reported wounded In the operations near the River San. The presence of his corps in this con illct indicates that some of the Vienna garrison has been withdrawn to reinforce the army in Galicia.
