By a strong attack in the Guillemont sectow they advanced their front several hundred yards on both sides of the Guillemont-Fleury road, bringing it on even terms with the French aivance through Maurepas. The German sal. ient which was left at the point where the British and French fronts join ! was flattened out and several hundred prisoners taken. In addition, to the north, the British extended their . trench progress along the Leipsic sali- ent, taking an additional 300 yards of strongly-defended position. Meanwhile the French, by strong artillery fire. were repulsing German counter-attacks south of Maurepas, especially in the region of Hill No. 121. This height is now completely in the hands of the French troops. Military experts attach great im- portance to the capture of Maurepas by the French. Not only does it put: © into their hands one of the principal 'supporting points of 'the German front between the Somme and the Al- "bert-Bapaume high road, bub it brings their advance within two miles of #Combies, which powerfully-fortified town they are steadily flanking.

To procure warm the men lying out in those horrible conditions is seldom possi- ble. The want of drinking water is leading thé men to drink dirty water out of the shell holes where there are human bodies and other things. "When an attack begins the terrors of these places are beyond descrip- tion. ' Like the fire rain in Gomorrah the drum fire of the enemy pours from heaven. The little shelter that there is in the trenches or holes is quickly flattened out. With thunder- ing roar heavy shells from the gigan- tic mine wipe out everything in the neighborhood with their explosion. At the same time a rain of shrapnel falls and poisonous gases roll for- ward." BRITAIN AND SWEDEN NEARING THE BRINK ? Latter Persisted in Blocking Parcels to Russia. A despatch from London sgys: The British Government, following the lead of Sweden, has made public the entire correspondence with Sweden concerning British' seizures of the Swedish parcel-post with the United States and Swedish retaliation in | stopping all British parcels in transit to Russia. The correspondence dis- | closed that the situation has not yet been satisfactorily adjusted. Some | of the letters and notes teem with language so sharp as to indicate that the relations of the two countries at one time aproached the breaking point. As a result of the negotiations Sweden recently released 60,000 par- cels to Russia under agreement with the British Govrnment to submit the matter to arbitration after the war.

Lord Robert's statement was made in response to a | question by Sir James Henry Dalziel, in regard to "peace rumors," and the situation in the Balkans. "No over- tures have been made for peace," said Lord Robert. "There ig only one way in which overturés for peace could be made; and that is from an enemy to the Government of this country. If any such overtures were made the first thing we would do would be to . | consult with our allies, but no com- munication of the kind has been made." As to the Balkans, Lord Robert said the most important factor consisted of the operations from Sa- lonica. The allies' relation with the new Greek Government, he stated, were thoroughly satisfactory. eT ons 50gc. re- ANOTHER NEW STAMP, am; | A Two-cent One, Brown in Color, Said _. to be About to Issue.
