France
On February 11,
a great drive by the French was directed
against the German line in the Champagne
region. The French aimed to secure con-
trol of the railway between the Argonnes and
Rheims, to capture Vouziers, and to attack
the Germans in the Argonnes from the rear.
At first the French attempted to drive the
Germans out of their positions between Souain
and Beau-Seiour hy especially vigorous artil- ‘

Souain was repulsed with heavy losses.
Northwest of Verdun the German troops
stormed several French positions; the enemy's
counter-attack was repulsed with heavy losses.
Verdun was violently shelled by German
aviators.

of the Bukovina, occupied Radautz. in the
valley of the Suczavitza, and reached the
Sereth River. In the meantime the flanking
column in southeast Galicia had driven the
Russians back in broad front upon a line
between Pasieczna (Nadvorna Bistritz) and
Visnitz (frontier of the Bukovina).
United States of America
An American note to Germany expressed the
expectation that the lives of citizens of the
United States would not be endangered even
in the war zone: that otherwise the German
Government would be held responsible. A
simultaneous note sent to England. registered
a protest against the misuse of the American
flag. and defined England's responsibility for
all consequences.
France
German troops captured a further portion of
the French main position north of Massiges
in the eastern Champagne district.
East Prussian Frontier
After the annihilation of two Rus-
sian divisions and the occupation of
Mariampol, Kalwarja and Vizajny,
the German northern army advanced
in forced marches upon Suwalki and
Sejny. A German flanking move-
ment also compelled the Russians
to retreat from the Angerapp River
and the vicinity of Loetzen, while
