British Capture Hill Near YPres, Civ
ina Guns of the Allies Command
of a Considerable Area Occu-
pied by Germans.

Further details have been published
of the British capture of hill 60 near
Yypres. Very severe fighting IN
which both sides suffered heavy
losses took place at this point.
The British success is declared by
Field Marshal French to be an i'm
portant one, as it gives the British
guns command of considerable -area
occupied by the Germans and paves
the way for an attack on the passages
of the Lys, by means OF which the
towns of Lille, Roubaix and Turcoins
can be approached.
Along the rest of the western front
there has been considerable fighting
at separate points, but no battles OF
Importance have occurred.
In the eastern zone the Russians
have been busy repulsing Austro-Ger'
man attacks in the direction OF Stry
and to the southeast of Lupkow pass
and have themselves captured another
height on the eastern Roszanka chain
of the Carpathians.
The British admiralty reports a
brilliant cutting out" operation in
the Dardanelles. Young officers and
seamen from the British ships volun'
teered for the dangerous task of de-
stroying the submarine Els, which
stranded under the Turkish guns and
which it was essential should not fall
into the hands of the Turks. They did
their work we'll and all that was left
of the craft was tangled mass Of
iron from which the Turks are not
likely to learn any of the secrets Of
the latest British submarines. Al.
though the plucky crews in their lit
tie boats were subjected to a heavy
fire, they escaped with the loss of one
man.
The Austro-Italian situation is still
shrouded in mystery. A German wire
less dispatch says that the recent
frontier incident has been settled, but
dispatches by way of Paris describe
the position as hopeless.
