A LULL IN EASTERN WAR THEATRES
STRONG ENEMY'S FORCES IN THE CARPATHIANS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, February 22. The Press Bureau has issued a report from the British observer with the French army, which states that although the progress is slow along an extensive battle line, very real work has been accomplished. The French troops hold the heads of the valleys running between the wooded spurs of the Vosges, the Germans holding the lower spurs only, while round Cernay the French hold the lower spurs and the Germans the villages and plain. Until needed reserves are available It Is the allied armies' duty to prevent the Germans from gaining a favourable decision, and meanwhile forcing them to fight at a disadvantage, involving the enemy in heavy losses. This the French army has done.
