GERMANS SCORE AGAIN
SUBMARINE WARFARE;
BRITISH STEAMERS SUNK
COnstantnOpe Dispatches Say Allies Cruisers Approach
ing Outer Forti6cations of DardanelIes Were Driven
Back by Heavy Fire; British Are Still on Offensive:
Six Members of FngaPs Crew Missing

Germany has scored again in hef
submarine warfare on British ship
ping. The British admiralty an
nounced to-day that the steamers At
lanta and Fingal had been torpedoed.
The crew of the Atlanta was saved,
but six lives are reported to have been
lost on the Fingal.
The last of news concerning the
attack on the Dardanelles is explained
in a dispatch from Constantinople,
which says that only unimportant op-
erations have been attempted by the
allied fleet during the last few days.
Two attempts of cruisers to approach
the outer fortifications in connection
with mine sweeping operations are
said to have bene frustrated by the
fire from shore.
Increasing activity is indicated along
the western end of the Franco Belgian
battle line. A message from a cor
respondent at the front of a Paris
newspaper says that Nieuport has
been bombarded by the Germans and
Westernde by the allies. The Belgians
are reported to have made some head
way against the Germans, capturing
positions in two localities. The Brit
ish army is still on the offensive, al
though its advance apparently has
been checked by the Germans
