 Germany's submarine craft have added two more names to the long list of vessels which they have de- stroyed in the waters about the Brl- | tisn Isles. The British steamer Tal- aba, onc of the larger merchantmen to be sent to the bottom, was tor ,.edoed off the coast of South Wales, probably with heavy loss of lire. The British steamship Aguila was sunk in the English Channel but her crew of 23 men were saved.

 Tauroggen Stormed Successfully. # The new German offensive in Po- F land has led to sharp fighting, in which the Russians are said in Ber- lin to have suffered heavy losses. The l, war office announces that TaurOggen, in Russia, across the East Prussian border, was stormed successfully.
 An official announcement from Pe- trograd says that in Northern Poland Germans failed Tn an assault made with division of infantry and that the Russians, advancing in turn, com z pelled their opponents at one point to abandon their first line trenches. The claim also is made that further { to the south, on the Pilica river, Ger E man forces were put to flight. The Petrograd version of the fight ing in the Carpathians represents that victories have been won at several points giving the Russians access to ! northern Hungary. So far as is known, however, no considerable movement in this direction has been inaugurated and Vienna insists that the Austrians have gained successes in the mountain fighting.

Some of the Turkish forts at tie Dardanelles were bombarded yester- day by indirect fire from the Gulf or < Saros, but the warships of the allied fleet did not attempt to enter the straits.
