Germanj's 1917 drive against the Russians' has apparently begun. After the discharge of four gas waves near Postavy, on the Dvina front, 'the Ger mans attempted to advance in force, but were thrown back, the War Office reported today. PETROGRAD, March 2(5. Itusbian troops have crossed the Per sian frontier into the Turkish ilayct of Mosul, it was officially announced today. The announcement indicates that the Russians are advancing toward the Turkish city of Mosul, which is on the Bagdad railway, 225 miles northwest of the city of Bagdad. The Result of the great battle raging in France, from Arras- to the Aisne, along u front eighty-five miles long, !s still in the balance. The Allied forces are "pocketing" St. fiuentin and La Fere, two of the most vital strong holds of the "Hindenburg line," driving upon the city from threj sides. The capture of St. Quentin and La Fere would compel the Germans to evacuate Cambrai and Laon, the extreme north ern and southern bastions of their new front, and force Hindenburg to con tinue his retreat. The British have made considerable progress on the road to Camtrai, while the French have reached Folembary, south of 'the forest of Coucy. The lat ter is situated beforo the important forest of St. Gobain, a position of stra tegic importance halfway between Laon'Vnd' La Fere. General Nivelle is seeking to sharpen the point of his wedge'near Moy and Veneduil, between St. Quentin and La Fere. . The Germans are resisting with great stubbornness.
