ALLIES STILL GAIN GROUND IN THE WEST

Possibility With Question Mark That That Germans May Ask For Terms of Settlement. The French-English drive on the western front of the European battlefield continues with unabated fury, according to the latest dispatches. It is said that the second line and in some oases the third line of defensive trenches are being battered with artillery and infantry fire and that the losses are terrific. Some papers are suggesting that the Germans may sue for peace or at least ask on what terms the allies will be willing to settle the war. There seems no foundation for this rumor, however, and even the papers that make large headlines of the peace rumor place a question mark after it.
