Bombardment of Inner Strong ghods Resumed This Morn

ser's Trench in Champagne

A British officer of the allied fleet
which is bOmbarding the DardanelIeS
is quoted in a dispatch from Athens as
saying that only two forts now remain
intact. The bombardment of the lat
ter forts was resumed this morning,
ten large warshipS entering the straits
for this purpose.
The American tanker Platuria has
been detained at Kirkwall, Scotland.
by order of the British admiralty.
The Platuria was formerly German
vessel. transferred to American regis

NIT the recapture of Prasenysz North
ern Poland, by the Russians, but as
sert the Russians suffered so severely
during the attack that they were un-
able to desist further the orderly re-
treat of the Germans. This account is
at variance with Russian reports of a
few days ago. which stated that the
German retreat was the most disor-
derly and precipitate of any in that
area of military activities. The Ger
man statement says, however, that
large numbers of wounded were left
behind in neighboring villages.
The French war office has given a
more definite idea of the extent of the
battle now IN progress in Champagne.
The attacking front is about four
miles in length and it is asserted that
the allies now hold German positions
to the depth of about two thirds of a
mile.
