FRENCH ADMIT GERMANS MAKE BIG GAINS

PARIS. Jan. Z7-The enemy at- tempted a sudden attack last night in the st. Mard wood in the region Of Tracy Leval (north of Soissons). Af- ter a violent fusilade the Germans exploded mines which destroyed our trenches for a distance of about fifty meters, says the night official re- port, "bpt were not able to establish themselves by reason of the domin- ating fire of our artillery. These trenches have been reoccupied and put in order To the west of Craonne the night has been calm. A land slide caused by storm of immense proiectiles obstructed our entrance to the old quarry which served as storehouse and shelter for the gar rison of our trenches at La Creute. Two companies of these troops were taken prisoners The enemy having thus gained a foothold in La Creute penetrated Foulon wood and rendered untenable the neighboring trenches. which we evacuated Counter-attacks which we delivered over a good part of the ground lost and the brilliant ardor of our troops is begond all praise The enemy spffered very great losses and left on the field 1000 dead The prisoners taken were from five different regiments, which is an indication of the importance of the atack".

 that in the naval battle Sunday nc
 British ships were lost and trat pur-
 suit Of the German ships was finally
 abandoned on account Of German
 mines and submarines, the German
 government gave out an official state
 ment declaring positively that one British battle cruiser and two British destroyers were sunk.
 The battle lasted three hours This
 is reported by large German ships.
 says the statement and also by a torpedo boat which sank the battle cruiser with two torpedoes. Otrer British ships were severely damaged and withdrew from range of the Ger man guns. The statement also chars es the British with incomplete reports of engagements off the Faulkland Islands
 The statement said "In the three hours fighting which cost us the ar mored cruiser Bluecher one British cruiser and two British desuoyers were sunk. These facts were not on- ly observed by our big ships, but al- so were ascertained by the German torpedo boat which returned unhurt. This torpedo boat shot two torpedoes against the British battle cruiser which was already heeling over. whereupon she capsized and sank This was also ascertained by the Ger man dirigible flying over the fight ing zone and the dirigible observed on other British ships falling masts and tunnels It is certain therefore. that further cruisers were seriously damaged. Finally the British fleet withdrew from the German squadron beyond reach of their guns There is no question of the pursuit of the German ships berause the high speed of the British vessels would enable them to catch up with and destroy the German cruisers This time it is possible 70 verify the British re- ports which was impossible in the case of the battle of the Falkland Islands, of which details are lackmg We only know that several British ships are now docking at Gibralta to repair damage inflicted by the Ger man cruisers Scharnhorst aud Chef senau and therefore tNa British off cial report of the battle off the Falk- Ian Islands was at least incomplete and colored in the British interests The unreliability of the reports of the British Admiralty is also proved by the fact that the Admiralty even now does not admit the loss of the battleship Audacious"
