came three blasts of a whistle sound

Of the trench and went among them
with the bayonet. The slaughter was
terrible. In the dim glare OF the
burning bushes some of the enemy
threw down their arms and pleaded
for mercy. No quarter however was
given on either side. The worH was
too desperate for that Bayonet and
bullet did their work and the enemy
was driven back on Roulers.

COMMANDMENT OF
NEWPORT Renewed

Paris, Nov. 24.-Renewed bomb
bardment of Newport Is reported
from the front, together with reports
of the greatest activity among the
Germans all along the coast.
Back of the German lines there il
said to be considerable movement of
troops and guns through Belgium to-
ward the coast.
Heavy guns have been mounted be
tween KnOcke and Newport with the
evident intention of returning the fire
of the allied warships which have
been bombarding the German lines.
Ypres has again been bombarded
after a partial cessation of fighting
there The town hall and market
place were destroyed and the city, al
ready ruined, was further damaged.
Reports from the champagne dis
trict and other points along the line
indicate the Germans are reinforcing
their trenches or endeavoring to build
new ones out of range of allied artil-
lery fire.
