The batteries of the allied forces never ceas-

The Germans occupying the trenches kept

London, Sept. 22.---The daring
raid of the German submarines
across the North Sea which resulted
this morning in the sinking of the
British cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and
Cressy has momentarily diverted at
tention from the battlefelds of the
continent.
The report indicated that two Of
the five attacking submarines were
sunk. Nevertheless ii came as
shock to Englishmen that such big
ships as those sunk could so easily
be attacked and destroyed.
There have been no important
changes in the battle front IN north

continue to gain little here and
lose little there. These gains may
tell in the long run but have
brought no decisive result for either
side.

age is being made by the allies left
