The only development of the day in

rope from the east to the west. The
combined French, Belgian and British
armies in the west, and the Russian
army in the east, are opposed to the
united forces of Germany and Austria,
acting as combined armies between
us.
Germans Throw Weight in West.
"Our enemies elected at the begin
ming Of the war to throw the weight
of their forces against our armies in
the west and to detach only a COM
paratively weak force composed Of
very few of the first line troops and
several corps Of second and third line
troops to stem the Russian advance
until the western forces could be COM
pletely defeated and overwhelmed.
Their strength enabled them from the
outset to throw greatly superior forces
against us in the west. This precludes
the possibility of our taking vigorous
offensive action except when miscalcu-
lations and mistakes are made by their
commanders, opening up special OPP
portunities for successful attacks and
pursuits.
Holding Ground Gained.
THE battle of the Marine was an ex-
ample of this, as also was our advance
from ST. Omer and HazebrOuck to the
line OF the River Lys at the commence
ment of this battle. The role which
our armies in the west consequently
have been called upon to fulfill has
been to occupy strong defensive posi-
tons, holding ground gained, and III
viting the enemy's attack and to throw
back these attacks, causing the enemy
heavy losses in his retreat and follow
ing him up with powerful and success
full counter-attacks to complete his dis
comfture.
The value and significance Of oper-
atoms Of this nature since the begin
ming of hostilities by the Allies forces
in the west lies in the fact that at the
moment when the Eastern provinces
of Germany are in imminent danger of
being overrun by the numerous and
powerful armies Of Russia, nearly the

they are held, with much reduced num-
bers and impaired morale, by the sue
cessful action Of our troops in the
west.
Il cannot speak too highly of the
services rendered by the Royal Artil-
lery throughout the battle. In spite of
the fact that the enemy brought up in
support of his attacks guns of great
range and shell power, our men have
succeeded throughout in preventing
the enemy from establishing anything
in the nature of superiority in artil-
lery. The skill, courage and energy
displayed by the commanders of the
Royal Artillery have been very

BRITISH WARSH|P DESTROYED
SINKS 20 MILES FROM OUTSKIRTS
OF LONDON.
Vessel Goes Down Almost Instantly,
Giving Men No Fighting Chance
Band Playing at Time.
By International News Service.

London, Nov. 2S.-The British bat
tleship Bulwark was blown up and
sunk in the estuary of the Midway
river. Between 700 and 800 men were
lost, including Captain Guy Belater,
her commander, and all her officers.
But II of Grew Saved.
Only twelve OF her crew were saved.
1t is announced officially that the ex-
plosion was internal and originated in
the ships magazine.
The disaster is the most appalling
the British navy has suffered in the
war. It is even more of shock than
the loss of the Aboukir, Cressy and
Hogue at the hands of a single sub
marine On the North Sea, for the Bull
wark was destroyed from within, de-
stroyed utterly and instantly. The men
aboard her had not fighting chance
for their lives.
Band Playing at Time.
The band was playing aboard the
Bulwark. Near her we're anchored
several other ships. The morning was
calm ard but for the presence of the
battleship swinging at her anchor
chains there was nothing to suggest
anything but peace. Alongside the
Bulwark was a lighter. From it were
being loaded over the side of the 49,
000-ton battleship fresh ammunition
stores for her 12-inch and 6-irch guns
The Bulwark sank in three minutes
from the time of the explosion.
A vice admiral and a rear admiral
of the Royal navy, who were at Sheer
ness, investigated Immediately and re-
ported that it was their conviction that
it was an internal magazine explosion
that rent the ship asunder
The explosion was so violent that
debris from the battleship was scat
tered over the coal fields in Essex
county, littering the towns and coun-
tryside. At Southend-on-Sea, on the
Essex coast, the conclusion of the ex-
plosion was plainly felt and likened
by the inhabitants to a severe earth
quake. Buildings in the vicinity Of
Sheerness were shaken to their founda-
tons.
Although twelve years old and no
longer in the first fighting line of the
navy, the Bulwark still was a useful
unit.
Considering the size of her navy,
Great Britain has been singularly free
from disasters Of this character. New
ertheless when the French warship
Jena was destroyed by an internal ex-
plosion in 1907, all cordite ammunition
was taken from all the British ships
and carefully examined. Refrigerators
were installed in the ships to keep the
powder ccol.
The Bulwark cost $5,OOO,OoO.

Dtnner Calls.
Those who have been invited to a
dinner party, whether an acceptance

On entering the lady does not re-
