100 Of THOSE
On THE MALOJA
STILL MISSING
TOTAL OF At BODIES HAVE
BEEN RECOVERED SINCE
STEAMER WENT DOWN
SuNDEY--6ABY RESCUED.

LONDON. Feb 2S or tnc total
complement of All passengers and
crew of the Peninsula and Oriental
line steamship Maloja, which struck a
mine and sank within half an hour
two miles off Dover yesterday. only
ESQ are known to have been saved.
Or the total ll9 passengers. "a names
,of persons saved have been received
at the steamship cOmpany's offices. It
was stated there that it is hoped that
more names OF persons saved will still
be received
The bodies of three more. Lascars
of the crew of the MaloJa nave been
washed ashore. making the total of
bodies recovered l47. Many relatives
are arriving at Dover for the purpose
.of endeaVoring to identify bodies
Among those received yesterday was
. baby, warmly clad. which was float
ing ON it's back. The child was dis
covered by patrol boat and was
taken into the engine room. After
being warmed it smiled at its rescuers
and seemed none the worse for the
immersion.
The British press is also unanimous
in assuming that the Maloja and the
other vessels sunk by mines during
the weekend were victims of Il fresh
sowing of German mines There is
much speculation as to how these
could have been laid. The theory most
frequently advanced is that a ceatain
class of neutral shipping was em-
pIoycd.
The Pah Mall Gazette suggests that
such operations may Grive England to
still more stringent supervision of
neutral shipping than has yet been
exercised.

FIERCE BATTLE

THE SECOND WEEK W!Tt]
UNABATED FURY.
GERMANY SUFFERS HEAVILY
Berlin Seems to Disagree VIII,
Premier Briand--Paris Claims
Heavy Reinforcements Have
Arrived.
GERMANY SUFFERS HEAVILY

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The great battle
week, is continued with unabated fury.
with the German armies driving lard
at the French defenses along a length
ening line which now runs far beyond
the SALIENT in which lies the fortress.
Paris ASSERTS that withEthe pouring
in of heavy reinforeementB for Gen.
Joffre's armies, the German advance
has been checked, but Berlin claims
a renewal of the long forward march
on the French stronghold.
Along the Meuse, to the north of
Verdun, the Germans have bcc2 Uh-
able to make as rapid progress s. at
first, although the battle has CCa-
tinued with intensity. On the N0cTrH
front, where the French at first fell
back, they now appear to be offering
effective resistance. Pressure here IS
particularly menacing to the fortress,
as the crushing in of this eastern Line
of the Verdun salient for any great
Atance would spell disaster for the
-nonghold.
u The French defensive operations at
places are taking on the nature OF
counter offensive, as in the attacks
on Fort Douaumont four miles
northeast of Verdun. This deTelop-
ment has ben forecast in diSpat chcS
which told of the expectation i'll
Paris that the French, when they.
had fallen back to positions thew be
lieved they could hold indefinitely,
would drive back over the ground
that had been yielded in the face Of
the terrific German artillery and III
fantry attacks.
According to a statement by
Aristide BRAND, the French premier,
this hapuened after the fourth day
of the battle.
The French brought up strong re-
Inducements at an unexpected move
ment, and the infantry, sweeping
down upon the Germans, who al
ready were suffering heavily from the
effects of the French artillery fire,
stopped them short and even drove
them back.
The premier declares the French
have regained the advantage. the be
ginning of their counter attack mark
ing the turning point of the battle,
which is in it's second phase.
The German accounts fail to agree
with this French version of the fight
ing. Berlin having announced further
advances for the crown princes
troops, including the taking of Har-
daumont, east of Fort DOauaum0nt,
and the village of Champneville, on
the German right flank, while the
French attacks on Fort Douaument
were repulsed.
The French themselves do not
claim the recapture of this outlying
defense of the main fortress, but de-
clare that the Germans, who had
gained a foothold to the east and
west of the position, were beng hard
pressed, maintaining themselves with
difficulty They say the fort is
sc<uAely encircled"
f3A German attack against the
Fr8ch positions at Manheulles re-
suited in complete failure, the French
war office says.
