In the latter region the Germans de-

the face of the Russian Warships.
AS yet no attempts have been made
by the Germans to effect a landing on
the coast of Esthonia and harass the
right flank of the Russian army and
neither has any effort been made to

In Flanders no military operations on
large scale have been attempted, but
the big guns are carrying out reciprocal
bombardments of great violence, like
those which always precede the starting
OF an infantry offensive.
The British troops have carried out
several successful raids in which severe
casualties were inflicted on the Germans
and prisoners and machine guns were
taken.
After the lapse Of two days the heavy
artillery duels have been resumed be-
