communicate states; "Ou the nights OF
Wednesday aud Thursday no attack by the
infantry of the enemy was delivered, but
northeast of Z0nnebeke there WITS n bonn
hardment by the Germans and violent rifle
firing. An artillery dael occurred on the
Aisne, and in the Argonne there was can
uonadinc on all sides. In Alsace, north west
of Ammerzweiier, our troops maintained
their position, Notwithstanding a violent
bombardment during the day of the territory
which they had gained, and they succeeded
in organizing themselves"
An Austrian official bulletin states; ''The
Nagyag valley has been cleared Of the enc
nv. and the Russians, who with n strong
force had penetrated the valley rs far as the
region north Of Okormezo in Hungary were
obliged Yesterday to abandon their last
strongly fortified position. We captured
Taronya and in the pursuit we reached
Wyszkow, whore engagements against the
hostile learguard began again. On the
heights north Of KezelswaedIas, near Volo-
vac, the Russians tried to re-tnke their lost
positions, but were r%epulsed aud we captured
700 prisoners and 5 machine guns. On the
rest of the front in the Carpathians there
has been no substantial change, and east OF
the Nagyug valley tranquility prevails.
Small actions in the shape of artillery en-
gagements have taken place in Western
Gulicia and IL Poland.
The Berlin newspapers, relying on the
official reiteration to-day OF n British retreat
after the sinking Of a British dreudnought
and two destroyers, eXult anew over Sun
DAVIS victory. The German accounts OF the
sinking Of a British dreaduought are re-
markedly similar to the British accounts Of
the sinking of the "Blucher' and are proba-
bly, bona tde and possibly explain the throw
ing of bombs by the Germans upon the Bri-
fish r~escuers, mistaking them for rescuers Of
men from n sinking British warship.
The British Admiralty celebrates that the
official bulletin is accurate aud unchanged.
The newspapers print many columns Of
interviews with the returned combntants.
According to to-day's DAILY Chronicle, the
"Arethusa' rescued eight officers and III
men from the "Blucher'. One of the crew
describing the finishing stroke, said: "When
the SBlucher' was not worth more powder
and shot from the "Inlomitable" word was
passed to the "Arethusao' to use torpedOes.
We could not miss her, as she was almost
stationary. Our second torpedo went right
into her, fair a%midship. She had a terrible
list even before this. Her crew were game
to the last, and we saw them lined against
the taffrail, standing at attention. When
we had launched the second torpedo we
knew that the end would come quickly and
we steamed within 200 yards and saw the
torpedo making straight for them. The
crew would have met their death standing up,
had not a warming been sent them, an off
Ger megaphoning in German Jump, which
they understood and began waving their
caps and shouting "Hoch' aud all then to.k
headers. The exI losion had IN appalling
result and not a man would have survived
if they bad remained standing Mt attention.
