In the Western theatre of the war a great deal
of confused fighting has been going on during the week, and happily with a general result favourable to the Allies. As far as we can analyse the accounts of what is happening, the Germans feel that they must recapture their lost ground, and are hurling themselves against the French and British lines with wonderfu' oourage but very little success. On the whole, they are not regaining ground but losing more of it, and, what is even worse for them, losing terribly in men. The French are evidently consolidating their position at Tahure, and before long we may expect another big move from them in that direction and on tbe enemy's lateral railway communications. Though it has been little commented upon in the Press, there seems every reason to believe that our recent sea attacks ot, the Belgian coast were fraught with very happy results.
