the Bauske district of Courland on Sunday
night our troops again drove the Germans
back towards the river and the enemy's
counter attacks were repulsed. In the ia
eobstadt and Dvinsk districts there has been
no essential change. The bombardment Of
Kovno continues without cessation, the Ger
mans obstinately attacking the Notifications
in the western sector. Between the NareW
and the Bug on Saturday and Sunday there
was furious fighting, a series of German at
tacks being repulsed with great loss to the
enemy. On the left bank of the Bug there
were no important engagements, aud ON the
other sectors of our front there were local
artillery fights, but no important engage
ments."
An Admiralty statement announces: "a
German submarine fred several shells at
Parton, Harrington and WhitehaVen, IN
Cumberland, on Monday morning, but no
material damage was done, A few shells hit
the railway embankment north of Parton,
but the train service was only slightly delay
ed. Fires were caused at Whitehaven and
Harrington, which however were soon extin-
guished and no casualties have been re.

The "Daily Chronicles" correspondent at
Athens states that a successful landing has
been made at Suvla Bay which cannot fail
to exercise a moral effect on the enemy.
Only q NAL observation force WAS on the
spot, the Turks having been led by the re-
cent activities and reports to concentrate
their forces elsewhere, and thus the whole
British landing force, with its ammunition,
baggage and artillery reached the shore prae-
tically without opposition and with only a
very few casualties. They Immediately adj
vanced and quickly seized the positions

Strong entrenched positions we're organized
and the right wing was thrown out and
effected a junction with the left wing of the
forces established before Sari Bair. These
new positions threaten the Turkish commu-
n~icatlons with the extremity of the peninsula
and the enemy eventually brought up forces
to attack the newly landed troops, but was
easily repulsed with serious loss and this
defeat enabled the British to further con-
solidate their positions. The feet has been
very active during the last few days.

Washington, August 18th.-The United
States Government has answered Austria's
Note regarding the trade in munitions. The
Note declares that Austria and Germany sold
arms when they were n~eutrals, specifying
the Beer and other wars. That the stoppage
of the in arms would compel all
nations to keep supplies for any emergency,
thus promoting militarism and prejudicing
peace, That the United States should allow
to others the right of purchase that its
own safety requires, and that its policy
regarding the sale of munition is justi-
fed equally with other trades which
would be subject to stoppage if Austria's
plea was allowed, thus obsouring the entire
field of International obligation and involv-
inc ~neutrals in unacceptable perplexities. The
tone is SO firm that even if Congress should
embargo the trade in arms it is believed that
the President would undoubtedly veto its
action.
