that the Audacious might have been

up by the British cruiser Liverpool at
8 p. m. on the day she was disabled
through striking the mine.
The Audacious was a 25,00O-ton first
line battleship. 1t was commissioned
September, 1912. 1t carried ten 1876
inch guns and 16 four-inch guns. It
had speed of 81 knots.
Wreck German Submarines.
The Standard prints a report, which
the press bureau permits, that two Of
the enemy's submarines have been
lost. There has been no official an
nouncement of either. The Standard
report adds that there is every reason
to believe two submarines which have
been raiding in the channel have been
satisfactorily accounted for, according
to information from credible naval
sources.
One OF these submarines has been
carrying out a series of daring recon
nOissances in the vicinity of Dover.

German Position Unimproved.
At othere points in West Flanders
the Germans do not seem to have i'm
proved their position to any marked
extent. In fact, an unoffi cial report
from the north of France tonight says
that their attempts to break down the
British resistance around Ypres have
failed and that their attempt to drive
a wedge into the allied lines by con-
centrated heavy gun fire at La Bassee
also failed
There ha5 been a considerable bulge
in the line here for some time, but the
allies hold their positions on either
flank
Tells of Ypres Fighting.
The official press bureau issued the
following communication regarding
the fighting at Ypres:
Our troops were subjected to the
heaviest bombardment that we have
yet experienced, from dawn for three
hours. This was at once followed by
an assault in force, carried out by the
First and Fourth brigades of the Prus-
sian guard corps.
1T is understood that these picked
troops had been brought up specially
to act against us in order to force their
way through at points where previous
efforts made by the infantry of the
line had failed
Break Through Allies Lines.
THE attack was pressed with the
greatest bravery and determination.
Owing to the gallantry of our troops
and their splendid resistance against
great odds the attempt to penetrate to
Ypres was repulsed, but the weight of
the enemy's advance enabled them to
break through our lines at three
points. They were, however, hurled
back and prevented from gaining
further ground
AN immense loss was inflicted on
the enemy, 700 of their dead being
found on the ground behind our front
trenches alone. The casualties suffered
by them in advancing up to our line
under direct and enfiladed fire must
have been enormous. Our casualties
also were heavy. We took 1900 pris-
oners."
