London.-A night raid by six or
seven Zeppelin airships took place
over the eastern, northeastern and
midland counties of England, accord
ing to an announcement of the War
Office.
A number of bombs were dropped,
but no considerable damage was done.
Fifty-four persons were killed and
81 injured in this Zeppelin raid over
Derbyshire, Staffordshire Lincolnshire
and Leicestershire, it was officially an
nounced by London.
Occupation by the Allies of the
Kara Buru1 peninsula, due south of
Saloniki, was prompted by the neces-
sity to guard the Allied transports in
Saleniki waters, it was explained in a
dispatch from the Greek front.
Simultaneous with this explanation
came a dispatch from Milan quoting
the Corriere della Sera as saying that
the British also have occupied Fort

which had approached to within a few
miles of the channels leading to Salon
Xxi. The vessel was beached and part
of the cargo saved.
Strong offensive operations by the
French, following the checking of the
recent German operations which were
reported from Berlin as being C
full. and a conspicuous success by the
Russians In the region of Erzerum, in
the Caucasus, features the war news.
The French attacks were delivered
to the south of the Somme, where on
January % the Allied lines were said
by the German War Office to have
been pushed back more than 1000
yards along a front in excess of $500
yards.
Concerning these operations the
Berlin official report indicated the
French were making repeated assaults
on the new German trenches, but
maintained that the Kaiser's troops
had held all their positions.
CARS FORCES PUSH ATTACK.
Rome.-The Russian drive in the
Caucasus, having as its object the
relief of the British army beleaguered
at Kut-el-Amara, made another big
gain.
The Muscovites followed up their
previous successes and swept into the
town of Khynsskala, between Erzerum
and Mush.
They captured large quantities of
arms and ammunition and many pris-
oners fell into their hands.
Russian military expert assert il
is practically impossible for the Ger
mans to send reinforcements from
Constant1nople to aid the Turks at
Erzerum. To send troops from Bag
DAD would mean the weakening of the
FORCES which are facing the British in
Mesopotamia. AS between Kut-el-
Amara and Erzerum it is believed in
Petrograd the Turks will decide to
concentrate their strength at Erzerum.
In Persia the Cars army defeated
a large force of Turks, inficting a
heaVy loss in killed and wounded and
taxing many prisoners and large guam
titles of ammunition and mil 'tary sup
Plies. ~Petrograd says the victory il
important, as the Russians got hold of
munitions which apparently had been
stored for an extensive campaign.
The fighting on the Austro-Italian
'front.' is OF a DESPERATE character and
the Italians, with the bayonet, have
reocc1pied on the heights west of
Gorilla, ground they had been forced
to give up in an Austrian attack.
