Germans Press Along Front as Russian War Effort Persists
London dispatch reports ongoing fighting along the front from the Romme region with no major change. German attempts west of Woadhnate and south of EaBansee canal are thwarted.

Further north, German pressure near Verdun continues while French and British lines hold, though heavy transfers and renewed assaults indicate a protracted struggle.
