strlcted to protest against the violation of
Swedish neutrality involved by the firing of
the Russian warsbips on the German war
ships within Swedish territorial waters. A
division of Swedish torpedoboat destroyers
has been sent to intern the "Albatross,"
which is ashore at Heereikan, near Kathleen

Upon the Russians attacking the "Alba-
tross, the German Baltic fotilla came al

A French official communique states Sin
The Dardanelles after successes by the
British on Monday the Turks attempted
several violent counter-attacks against the
positions taken from them, but were repulsed
With heavy losses. On Wednesday we car
RED a.Turkish redoubt in the form of quudrila-
teral, including six successive lines Of
trenches, the ground being covered with dead
Turkish soldiers and we have not been coun-
ter-attacked.
General Sir Tan Hamilton reports further
fighting on Tuesday which resulted in the
r. pulse of a Turkish counter-attack on the
positions taken by the British Oh the twenty
first ultimo, and q further advance by the
French, rounding out the grins they nude
on the twenty-first. The Turkish attack
opened with the explosion of mines and n
heavy artillery fie, followed by bayonet
fighting in which the British troops succeed
ed in throwing back the enemy. The French
took the left centre of u quudriiate' o., a part

A sudden recurrence of heavy artillery
fire by the Germans at many points in
France is the chief feature Of the fight
ing on the Western front, meantime
the Austl German advance in Galicia
and Poland has not been checked, the
Teutons showing no disposition to dimin-
ish the intensity of their Eastern offensive,
vet the cessation of railway travel in south
ern Germany is indicative of troops being
transferred from Galicia to France. The
Polish fortress Of Zumosc has been captured
and progress has been made ia other sectors
of strategic Importance in the east, accord
ing to dispatches from Berlin. There is o
continuance of the same story in this theatre
of Austro-G German rush, the Russian retreat
not having yet come to a stop. The
activity in the Western theatre has shift
ed fYom the Arras region to the Argonne
and the Vosges, where desperate in
fantry and artillery fighting IS reported,
but the German and French communicates
are conflicting. Paris asserts that the Ger
nuns have been routed in a fierce battle in
the Binarville region, on the edge of the
Bots la Grurie, while Berlin says the Grown
Prince led a large force of Wurtemberg
troops in a victorious assault on the French
lines over II front of three miles.
