Fierce attacks and counter-attacks ; delivered almost continuously for a week or more by the-allies and the Germans have resulted In nd definite decision in the battle raging In west .1 Flanders and Northern France. The content In the-eastern war arena In east Prussia, Poland and Galicla has been equally undecisive. ? This is clearly evident from reports issued officially at various , headquarters, which content themselves today with recounting the fact ! jtbat vlolqnrattacks have been made. The -Fi^ench, however, claim the al- -j Ilea have repulsed German offensive J movements at various points in the J west. According to the French communl catloni the German* also made attacks Walnst the allies' lines at Nleuport, Olxmude and Labasse.
