Latest War News. , For fourteen days closing with Thursday of last week, the most terrible battle in the world' history waged fiercely. With stubborn determination the Gsr mans hurled, wave after wave o human beings, against the allied lines, only to be mown down by machine guns and shells. Slow ly did they press back tho Briti French and American troops but only to Btronger positions. The Germans were losing probably four or fi ve in killed and wounded to one of the allies, as the tattor were fighting on the defensive, and were better able to tfeke care of themselves. As little had been accomplished expect the slaughtering of men, the Ger mans suddenly suspended their attacks, and during the last few days, there has been an ominous si'ence which means that both sides are "getting their wind' when at any minute the strupgle may break out more terrible than ever. Tho British hive not permittf d the halt in the fighting along the western baUlefront to keep them inactive. With their landsmen on the alert, watching keenly for the next move of tbe Gorman in fantry in Franco and Belgium, British naval forces, reinforced to some extent by French war craft, have carried out a starling and daring maneuver which if it should prove to have been huc cessful, may play a marked part in the future of the war. iNoless objective was sought than the blotting out, by one sweeping blow, i.f Germany's buomarine menace from the bases at Zeebrujrge and Ostoud, by tbe sinking across the exists from the harbor of large oldtime cruises, laden with cargoes of concrete to make them more diflicult of removal. While full details of the attack have not yet been received, the information at hand is ' that two of the cruisers were blown up at the entrance to the Brugg canal at Zeebrugge and another was sunk whilo passing in tbe car.al. At Oitond two additional war ships were run ashore and de stroyed by bombs, but it ia. be lieved they failed fully to choke the channel. Along tbe entire battlefront the state of comparative quietude thU has existed since last Thursday continues. The only activity, except for small attacks here and there, is being carried out by the artillery. The Ger man guns have been paying particular attention to the sect ors around Ypre.s, Kemmcl and the Nieppe forest, upon which large numbers of high explosive and gas shells have been thrown. North of Albert the British in a local attack improved their position and took prisoners and additional captives were made by them near llubecq and Wytsch aeto. Attempts by tbe Ger mans to raid French trenches aetween Lvisigny and Nov on wore repulsed. Notwithstanding the lull there is expectancy in the allied camps of the near ppproach of anotht r great attempt by the Germans to break their lines. All precau tions have been taken by the various commanders and every where the fronts have been strengthened in anticipation of farther onslaughts. In both the British and the French armies the Soldiers are waiting patient ly, confident that they will be able to give a good accounting of them selves against any attacks the Germans may make.
