The nrincioal fiBlitiue in West Flanders is now centreing in the vi cinity of Yprcs, where both Allies and Germans have made attacks, appar ently without achieving any con spicuous success. The Paris War Office's, official statement issued this afternoon declares that German infan try attacks in that region have been repulsed, while the report of the Ger man General Staff, issued in Berlin, declares that attempted advances by the Allies have been thrown back. Paris reports little activity else where on the line, except in the Ar Bonne, where attacks by the German infantry have failed to gain ground. Unofficial reports from Berne, Switzerland, confirmed by dispatches from Berlin, show that on the ex treme French right, in Alsace, a battle of considerable proportions-is in prog ress, the French having developed a new offensive toward Mulhausen and Altkirch. Strengthening of the German lines in, Poland and Resumption of the of fensive, particularly against the Ger man centre at Lodz, stand out as the salient features of the Poland cam paign. 'Both Kaiser's and Czar's War Offices agree that fighting has been furious at several points along the line, and each side arrogates such advantage as exists to itself. North of Lodz the Germans have been forced back, but at the centre their re-form, ed line holds firm, while the perilous situatjprtUtuspuJJ.wai-cn'lH.the; line, at Czenstbchowa,' jias been .re lieved by strong reinforcements.

As the mutter Is still In tho jurisdiction of Magistrate Harris, before whom Mrs. Clifford was to havo had a further hear ing last Monday, Judgo Barratt could do nothing but comply with tho demand of John II. K. Scott, attorney for tho complainant, and hold Blsel nnd Dixon In $600 ball each for court On n chargo of conspiracy to obstruct Justice. Dixon anld he knew nothing of tho whereabouts of Mrs. Clifford, hut was held because Clifford said he had made n statement, to tlie effect tho woman had been sent to a foreign country.

The dentist was discharged, the testimony not connecting him with any arrangement for the removal of Mrs. Clifford from tho jurisdiction of the court.
