TROOPS TAKEN FROM TOWNS
Berlin Reports Declare That Russians Are Pairing Badly in the Carpa. thians and Have Been Completely
 Driven Out of Bukowina.

London, April 2S.-"Our operations in conjunction with the French nave definitely stopped the German at- tack"
 In these words Field Marshal Sir John French. commanderIn-chief of the British forces on the continent announces the conclusion of another German attempt 10 break through the allied lines around Ypres and along the Yser canal, waich brought about one of the most sanguinary 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 which they lost in the great German sweep. For this purpose they are now delivering counter attacks against the German line only at one place, Steen- straate have the Germans managed to keep their footing on the western bank of the canal while to the north of Ypres the positions remain much as they were, the allies making no claims to an advance there and the Germans reporting that all the Brit ish attacks have been repulsed.
 TO aold these lines the Germans lave brought up further reinforce mcnts. and Belgium behind them has been denuded of troo g. The towns and villages in Belgium are being guarded by only a handful Of sentries
 Figh-u4 also continues in Cham pasue where the Germans make claim to the capture of a strong French position in the Argonne and the Woevre, where the French say they are progressing, and in the Nos ees. where both sides claim to be in possession of Hartmanns Weilerkcpf It is probable that this mountain which commands the plains of Alsace, has changed hands several times; this would account for the contradic- tory re ports.
 The Russians and AustroGermans are aeavi' :, engaged in the region of Uzsol pass in the Carpathians and in the direction of Stry where an at tempt is being made 10 strike at the Russian communications.
 Berlin correspondents give the Aus trians credit for the capture of mum. ber of important heights near Uzsok mass. and also assert that they have driven the Russians completely out of Bukowina, But this is not backed up by the Austrian official report, which says that in Bukowina an i'm pomant event has occurred, and sim Hly speaks of Russian attacks being repuIsed in the Carpathians. There also has been a renewal of activity on the East Prussian front, where the Germans report minor successes for their troops.
 The sensational report that 5000 of the allies troops have been driven to the sea on the Gallipoli peninsula, and that 12,000 were captured, also comes from Berlin, but has no con firmation from other sources. II is expected that the operations aeainst the Dardaneles will proceed slowly as the Turks are strongly entrenchel and their wire entanglements and trenches will have to be shelled heavily before the troops can make any serious attempt to advance.
 The French have lost the cruiser Leon Gambetta. which was torpedoed by the Austrian submarine U-5, while leaving the Adriatic sea for Malta Only a small part Of her crew were saved, all the officers, including the admiral, being drowned.
 The reports as to the intention Of Italy are as varied as they are numer- ous, but the Italian embassy at~Lon- don has authorized the statement that nothing is known there of any inn pending change in the Italian policy.
 Nothing further has been heard Of the German fleet in the North sea- and if is contended in official quar- ters here that it never left the mine fields off Helgoland In the Baltic however, German warships are busy and have stopped a number of S'Yed' ish steamers carrying coal from Eng fish ports to Sweden.
