German Submarine
Ram1ned and Sunk
by French Warship
Off Bel ian Coast

! Paris, Nov. IA special from Dun
kirk states that French torpedo boat
| sank a German submarine off the west
end of Belgium. The submarine, it ap-
pears, was trying to torpedo the
French warship, when the latter's COM
mander caught sight of it's periscope,
put on full speed and charged down
on the enemy, which disappeared.
A large quantity of oil arose to the
surface, marking the spot where the
submarine sank. The torpedo boat
sustained only slight damage and re-
turned to port for repairs.

among shipping firms here that the
German cruiser Karlsruhe has been
cornered.

patch from Constantinoule confirms
the Russian statement that the Rus
sian fleet sunk three Turkish trans
ports in the black sea-
London, Nov. 14.-The Germans
have crossed the River User, accord
ing to the admission of the latest Paris
official communication. Although the
invaders occupy only few hundred
pards on the left bank of the stub
bornly contested stream, the allies can
not be Indifferent to this gain and oes.
perate efforts will be made to drive
back this slight wedge.
Ypres, extending like fortress bas-
ton into the lines of the invaders, is
still in the hands of the British and
unless flank attacks on this position
are successful, Dixmude is likely to
prove a barren gain for. the Germans,
| who still find the way to Dunkirk bar
red
The theory that the Germans are
making an unprecedented attempt on
this coast objective is confirmed by
an official just returned to Holland
from east Prussia, where, he says, the
severity of the German defeat was due
to the fact that so many troops were
detached for the escort against Calais.
| Little attention has been paid lately
to the operations along the River
Aisne, but, according to late dispatch
es, fierce fighting, recalling the early
days Of the siege battle there has been
in progress for some time, with no
great alteration in the line, but some
slight advantage in favor of the allies.
In the coast battle the latest reports
indicate that the Germans, after heavy
artillery fire, made massed infantry as.
saults, suffering losses much heavie'
than the defenders.
