ed. Jn Argonne, the action of
infantry engaged at Bagatelle
was prolonged throughout the
night of Feb. 7-8. The Germans,
afte, having made some progress,
were able to occupy, at daylight,
only particular parts of our ad-
vaneed line, around which the
struggle continued during the
day.

London:—Russia's unexpected
adoption of offensive operations
in Poland, from which the Ger-
mans apparently have been with- |
drawing some forces both to the
north and south, furnishes the
most striking feature of . the
military situation on the Buro-

‘. pean continent.

From German sources it is
insisted that the plans far the
capture of Warsaw are still being
pushed. The Russians claim

the Emperor’s hirthday, he as-

’ ber of bodies, which, in view of
‘the generally’admitted proportion
of fourwounded to one killed,
warrants the conelusion that
German losges during three days
fighting amounted to 20,000, —
The chroniclerfadds, ‘It is:well
to repeat this figure, which is
disputed by the German general
etaff, but which is correct.’”’ A
tribute is paid to the heroism of
the native troops, who held -con-
quered positions and inflicted
_ severe punishment on the Ger.
mans, As during the preceding
period, all positions lost at La
Bassee by the British and French
were regained, after sharp fight-
