NG POSITIONS Frankfurter Zsitung Justifies Us of Asphyxiating Bombs on Ground That Allies Used Them. London The German rushes In Glanders and the Woevre, where they claim considerable successes, are be lieved to be forerunners of another big effort to break through the Allied lines In the West. For many days Bel glum has been sealed, from the obser vation of neutrals, while German re inforcements are being moved to the South to take part in the new offen sive,' which they hope Is to carry thero to Calais. The attack in Flanders, originally leveled at the French, " has been transfered to the British lines held by the Canadians on the immediate right of the French and here for two days the men from the Dominion have been engaged in a deadly contest with the Germans. The Germans claim further progress to ward Ypres and that British counter attacks have been repulsed. The Freneh, on the other hand, declare the Allles's counter-attacks continue with success and that he British Jffld all their positions and repeat the charge that the Germans are Using bombs containing asphylating gases. - The Frankfurter Zeltung Justifies . t the use of these missiles on the . ground that the Allleh have done like- , wise. - The German attack in the Woac 1 or In the Meuse hills was dlrecA. against the French positions south west of Combres, and according to , Berlin, the French suffered a heavy , defeat. Paris, however, says that in a counter-attack the Germans were driven out of the French first line which they had pushed back. The Germans in the East trans ferred a large number of troops to the West to make another big effort which shows they are not content to rely on a passive policy. It is believed that a half million new German troops have reached Flanders and that more guns and ma terial are to be used than were provid ed for the original attempts to destroy the Allied armies in the West at-v, tempts which met with failure both August and In October. JAPAN'S ATTITUDE POPULAR. Public Opinion Justifies Firmness In Dealing With China. " Tokio. The Government's firm at titude in pressing its demands . on . China la meeting with widespread ap- -proval In Japan and public opinion -is manifesting itself with Increasing; force In this direction. Although Parliament Is not in ses-- sion, many members of the National Legislature are lending active sup port to the Government One hun dred members placed themselves on ' record as favoring Japan's demands. They laid special emphasis on the da- mauds for railway and mining con cessions and provisional supervision ' over financial, political and military affairs of eastern Mongolia. Assert? iertaa.!v. log that Japan is actuated by a desii to bring about permanent peace the Orient the legislators urged the Government to proceed firmly with " its program. The press calls on the Nation to present a united front and declares the world should be brought to reaW, ize that the outcome depends entirely , ' on China. ' ,' ".'''. More Heavy Rains In Texas.
