There is again a lull on theFranco Belgian front. The British after capturing yesterday an additional mile of trenches west of Warneton in the Belgian sector where addition al gains were scored, confined them selves to trench raids today. The Germans for their part sent feeling raids against the British These were repulsed by the British who took some of the Germans pris oners. According to Berlin, a Brit ish cavalry force took part in the battle at Messises, but only a frag ment was a'tjle to return.- On the front occupied by the Srench there was inactivity except for the artillery. The Italian advance begun Sunday in the Trentino was not pushed fur ther. The Rome bulletin says that unfavorable weather conditions is the cause. German activities have been re sumed against the Russians on the Baltic coast. The Berlin admiralty reports an attack by Germans sea planes on Russian bases on the gulf of Riga. What probably may be another in tensive attack by the Italians has started in the region southeast of Triest, where King Victor Emmanu el's men have captured several impor tant positions, notably the greater portion of MouAit Ortig-ara, which rises to a height of 6,962 feet and the Agnello ' pass, from which there is comparatively level ground toward the town of Borgo and the Brienta river. There has been no renewal of the Italian offensive on the Carso plateau, where the objective of the Italians is Triest. The Austrians several times attempted to take the initiative soh of CastagnavLzza, but were completely repulsed and lost prisoners, in addition. Following the example of the Un ited States, Great Britain has replied to the Russian government's re quest for a statement of war aims. The reply concurs in Russia's pur pose not to dominate other peoples or take from them their national patrimony or forcibly occupying foreign territory. The defense of the existence of countries, the en forcement of resnect for internation al agreements and the "liberating of populations oppressed by alien tyran ny," is adhered to in the note. The note says Great Britain joins with Russia in acceptation and approval of the principles laid down by Presi dent Wiilson in his historic message to congress. ''kSSI The situation in China continues extremely tense. A mandate of dis solution of parliament has been drawn by the president, as demanded by the military governor of the province of Anhwei, but Dr. Wiu Ting Fang, the acting premier, has declined to sign it, an action necessary to make .-it effective. A dissolution of parliament would make impossible a declara tion of .war against Germany until a new parliament could be assembl ed. The Bulgarian premier spent Sun day at Homberg castle conferring with Emperor William and Field Marshal von Hindenburg, and later departed for Vienna. In an inter view he spoke optimistically of Bul garia's position on both the Macedo nian and Rumanian fronts. The crops in Bulgaria and Serbia , he said promised to be the best in recent yearsj. A British patrol boat in the North sea has destroyed two German sea planes and put three others to flight. The pilots of the two de stroyed machines were made prisoners.
