FRIDAY

Russia's Firm Stand — Holding Ground in Poland — Italians on Qorz — American Warning to Germany

Reports from the eastern theatre indicate that the Russians are making a determined .stand on the Narew front, north of Poland, and on the Lublin front to the south. It is reported from Petrograd that the enemy's offensive in the direction of Lublin has been checked. An pl^rian communique states that tsve'Russians are making a new stand south of the LublinIvangorod railway.

1 The Italians are closely hemming in the Austrian fortress of Gorz, on the Isonzo. Only one supply train now reaches the town daily, the railway being under fire of the Italian guns.

Lively. fighting is reported in the Vosges, on the eastern side of the valley of the Fecht, where the French have captured German defensive works. A German attack in the Forest of Apremont, south of St. Mihiel, was repulsed. *

French airmen have executed another successful'raid, dropping bombs on Conflans, an important junction between Verdun and Metz.

The latest United States Note to Germany states that further loss of American lives through German submarines will be considered an " unfriendly act." It is understood that this- phrase is used with the full knowledge that it may lead to a severance of friendly relations with Germany at an early date.
