tack
Thus did Field Marshal French,
commander-in-chief of the British
forces, announce the conclusion that
another German attempt to break
through the allied lines around Ypres
and along the User canal, which
brought about one of the most san
culinary battles of the war. This,
however, only brings to an end the
first phase OF the battle, for the Allies
have yet to win back the ground they
lost in the great German sweep.

ts.s Sensational Report.
A sensational report that 5000 OF
the Allies troops have been driven
to sea on the Gallipoli peninsula and
that 10000 were captured, comes from
Berlin. It is expected the operations
against the Dardanelles will proceed
slowly as the Turks are strongly en-
trenched and their wire entangle-
ments and trenches will have to be
sheled heavily before the troops can
make serious attempt to advance.
The French have lost the cruiser,
Leon Gambetta, which was torpedoed
by an Austrian submarine while leav-
the Adriatic sea for Malta. Only a
small part Of her crew was saved anu
all her officers, including the admiral,
were drowned Reports as to the in
tentions of Italy are varied, but the
Italian embassy here authorizes a
statement that nothing is known ct
impending changes in the Italian pol
lev, It is contended in official quar-
ters that the German feet, reported
in the North Sea, has never left the
Heligoland mine fields.
In the Baltic, however, the German
warships are busy, stopping numbers
of Swedish steamers carrying coal
from English ports to Sweden.
