ALLIES WIN ON TWO FRONTS

FIFTEEN THOUSAND PRISONERS ARE CAPTURED BY THE ENTENTE ALLIES. The entente allies are answering the Pope’s peace proposal by a renewed activity on all fronts that is fast pushing the central powers back. The French have pushed the Germans back on the fifteen mile line near Verdun and have captured more than 4,000 prisoners. The Italians have taken more than 7,500 prisoners in one day’s drive. Emperor Charles, of Austria, is going to the Italian front in an effort to check the defeat of his troops. / The hopes of the Germans td force their way into the rich Russian province of Bessarabia and capture Odessa seems doomed. , Savage fighting is progressing over a combined frontage on all fronts of about 1,000 miles.
