kaiSer'S Forces Have Been Beaten Back
Across The User By French
And English
fine DREADNAUGHT MINED
British Superdreadnaught, Audacious,
Struck Mine At Tough swiftly, On
North Irish Coast

The allies are claiming to have
again repulsed the Germans and driv.
en- them back across the User. The
London and Bordeaux war offices an.
nounce that the French and English
troops are occupying advantageous pc.
sitions on the left bank of the canal,
from which the enemy for several days
has put up a strong and vigorous de.
tense.
While the Germans are conceded to
have captured DiXmude, the French
and British declare that it is now
only a village reduced to ruins and
can in no way serve the enemy's in
terests nor assist in any way in their
plans to reach Dunkirk on the French
coast.
The British successes with the
French ON the continent have been
somewhat offset by the loss of the SUI
perdreadnaught, Audacious, which
struck mine at Tough Swilly off the
Irish north coast, and was rendered
helpless in only few moments. Most
of the crew of the Audacious were
picked up by the White Star liner,
Olympic, which came to the rescue in
heavy seas.
The Russians announce at Petro-
grad that they have made rapid ad-
vances in their invasion of Prussia.
Austria will push her forces against
Servia so as to end the Balkan phase
of the war. British East Indian
troops assisted by the cruiser, Duke
of Edinburgh, have captured Turkish
forts at Turba The London admiral
ty Offices also announce the success
full capture of the Turkish garrison of
Sheikh-Said on the Strait of Babel
Mandeb at the entrance of the gulf of
Alden.
British mercantile shipping greatly
| Increased during the past week and
the marine insurance rates in Lon
don were cut nearly in half as the re-
suit of the capture of the German
/
Chilean coast. The Emden alone had
a record of capturing or destroying %
British trading vessels, and these Ger
man warships had made life misera-
Bile for British shipping on the high
seas. The allies have been able to
hold their own against the Germans
along the User river in the north of
France and the kaiser's armies are
no nearer to the French seacoast than
they were a week ago.
The most important development of
the past week in the European war
has been the campaign of the Rus.
SLAMS against the Germans in the east
of Prussia, Galicia and Russian Pol.
and. Here the Russians have surpris.
ed the world with their ability to fol.
low up the retreat of the Germans
from Poland and a great danger OF
Russian invasion of Germany is de
veloping in that direction. After about
two months of apparent idleness in
east Prussia the invading armies OF
Russia are again taking the offensive
] and so far the Germans have been
unable to check their advance.
The allies in France and Belgium
are very much elated over the sue
cess of the campaign of the Russians
in the east They are hoping that the
cars armies will prove such a men
ace that it will be necessary for the
Germans to withdraw portion of the
armies in France to protect their owl
country in the east. Should the Ger
mans be compelled to do this it would
probably mean that the allies would
