coffee beans, billed through Sweden
for Finland consignees. The ship,

There is a shortage of coffee in Fin

After a night march on January ~,
our force attacked the eneny's new po-
sItions five miles above Sheik Said on
the banks OF "A water course. Frontal
attacks were made simultaneously with
a movement around the left flank. A
frontal attack pinned the enemy TO his

exposed to the heavy fire Of our guns.

attack.

The correspondent warmly praises the
courage and endurance Of the British
and Indian troops. He SAYS the ambu-
lance corps face abominab BILE conditions.
The inferiority OF the enemy's artillery
fire as compared with the western front
Is largely discounted by the natural ad-
vantages and the defence afforded TO the
enemy. The correspondent continues:
'The British and Indian roops had
to attack i~ntrenched Turkish positions
across a vast open plain unbroken by
hdeges. roads or trees, as in Flanders.
