battle has continued along
the whole front from the Oi&e to tho
region ot Woovre during tho entire
day of the 17th without important
changes in the situation at any
point.
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
