wings of Allied forces are now ad
. vancing and a battle is in progress.
General Von Mackenjwn is di
recting the Teutonic foroee. The
counter attacks made by the fore
going GeneraJ have be>on most suc
cessful. The use of high, powered
cannons and rapid firs artillery haa
been u*ed to advantage by the Teu
tons. While the battle is young
and hangs in the balance of fate,
nevertheless the war office pred ids
' a decisive victory for the Alll'^
forces.. The losses have been
about equal. British, forces havo
captured thousands of rounds of
ammunition and supplies.
