on the French defending the crests and pass
as, but except on the slope Of the Lingekopf
the French claim success so far. The Ger
mans allow them little rest, constantly throw
ing fresh troops into the attack, but their
losses are very heavy, Paris claiming that
over 100 dead Germans were counted among
the entanglements before Il single trench.
Advances by the Italians ia the mountains
on the western TyrOl frontier, the Sexteu
valley and the Isonzo front are announced
ia an italian official despatch, and the en-
veloping movement directed against Goriza
is progressing, despite heavy Austrian coun-
ter-attacks. The iercest fighting is proceed
ing south Of the fortress on the eastern bank
of the Isonzo, where the Italians have sue
c4eded in planting big guns on N my of the
peaks, thus hampering the m)vem .uts Of the
Austrian infantry.
A Paris official despatch announces: "Ihs
4ermans enieavoured on Sunday to destroy
two Allied hydroplanes off Newport by
heavy SHELLS, but our artillery promptly 81
inced the German batteries. Que plane
came back unaided and the other was towed
ashore unchanged"
A Petrograd despatch states that the
.Vechernes Vremya" claims to have autho-
rity for the statement published by the
'fOOlfS0 OdZ6Gd6 Iudb 0efllduy, lAlOuBu
Denmark, proposed to Russia the conclusion
Of u separate peace. L aids that Russia
was to receive Galjcia and Germany TO re-
tain Western Poland, and that the German
proposals, after being freely discussed i'll the
Lobbies OF the Dums, were dismissed as uu-
worthy Of serious consideration.
In London it is thought the foregoing
means simply that the Kaiser has expended
every ounce of force to wre5t Warsaw from
the Grand Duke Nicholas, to start u drive
against Riga and to put the Russians in re-
treat, then, knowing it to be useless to push
further into the vast Russian Empire, and
knowing that now, if ever, Russia would be
disheartenel 7, he makes a BID to get the most
populous of the Allies out of the war.
a Constautinople official statement says:
ION Monday the Turkish battleship HAIRED
din Barbarossa" formerly the "Kurfurst
Friedrich Wilhelm, was sunk by n subma-
/ ne of the Allies. The majority of the off,
GERS and men were saved. The loss, however
regrettable in itself, does not affect Us exces-
sively, except that it places the strength
of our ships, compared with the enemy, in
the ratio of one to ten.
Another official despatch from Constanti-
nople, undated, says: yesterday on the
Dardanelles front, in the region of Arburnu.
our lett wing captured some trenches OF the
enemy by a surprise attack and prevented
him from bringing up endorsements The
enemy after a long and violent artillery pre-.
p%aration by land and sea made a number of
attacks against the trences on our left wing,
penetrating a portion of them, but towards
evening we recaptured the greater part Of
the lost ground and indered the enemy by
our fire from constructing defences in the
positions which he still occupied. The same
day, near Seddelbahr, we repulsed the enc

right wing, south of Saghadere, after a long
preparation by artillery and infantry fire, we
also stopped a second attack, a part of our
foremost trenches were situated for a certain

enemy, but by strong attacks in the evening
we reconquered the positions held by bin.
In the Caucasus we continue the vigorous
