Northwest of St. Quentin the] British have followed up the al-j lied success of yesterday in i which the British and French, made further gains toward the i town from the west, and are pushing forward in the direction of the jiorthwestcrn suburbs. Heavy fighting is taking place in the regions of Gricourt, less than three miles north-northwest, and Selency, two and one-half miles northwest. The British are ad vancing despite counterattacks I>v the Germans, who were re pulsed with severe losses. French Artillery Active On the French sector to the j south only the artillery has been I active. Between the Ailctte and the Aisnc the French have re-1 pulsed German attacks in the j important territory about Moisy farm at the western end of the Chemin des Dames. While the events along the I'icardy front in Frartce lack the! sensational elements which at-1 tend the lighting in Macedonia i and Palestine, they are, never theless of great importance. St. Quentin apparently is almost within the grasp of the French and British. Bulgarians Split Apart Apparently the allies in Mace donia have completed the -split ting apart of the German-Bui-1 garian forces east and west of I the Vardar.

North of the pass | the enemy is retiring on Veles 'and it would appear that this I column has been cut off from its I comrades further south, thus I splitting the enemy force in two. | The Bulgarians fighting on the ; frontier east of the Vardar prob | ably are those who fled before ' th? French, Greek and British around Lake Doiran. On the right, the Serbians and French are moving toward the northeast and have reached points which, appear to carry a distinct threat to the great Bul garian stronghold of Strumitza. On the left ,the Serbians arc moving rapidly toward the | mountains that divide Serbia I from Albania and seem to have cut o ffthe retreat of the enemy I forces which were caught around Monastir by the collapse of the j line eastward from that city. It is believed in Paris the Al lies will press on up the Vardar to l.'skub and then swing east ward and outflank the Bulgar ians west of Strumitza rather than attempt to get over hills on the southern frontier. In the re ] gion of Prilep the-enemy is be ing forced toward the Albanian frontier. Atrial. and artillery activity has increased markedly on the American sector southwest of Metz, but no infantry engage ment has resulted.

On February 22, the Chancellor asserted, he declared in the Reich stag, his agreement in principle with the possibility of discussing a gen- .peace on the basis of the four points of President Wilson's message of February 2, but that President Wilson, neither at that time nor since, had tuken any notice of the Chancellor's declaration. Favors League of Nations Count Von Hertling declared he favored file formation of a league of nations, the promotion of uni versal, successive disarmament in equal proportions, the establishment of obligatory courts of arbitration, the freedom of the seas and the pro tection of small nations. "We never have concealed the fact, said Chancellor Von Hertling in the course of his address, "that all thoughts of conquest were far from our minds. But how do things stand on the opposite side?
