NEWS OF THE WEEK.
OF news from the Western front this week there is little, except that the Germans made an unsuccessful attack in Champagne in which three divisions were involved. Earlier in the week they made a certain amount of local progress in the Vosges. Though they did not keep all they originally took, the balance of gain here was slightly in their favour. That, however, is not a matter of any great. importance. It is merely an incident in the ebb and flow of trench warfare.
