 Two steamers dispatched to tho rescue arrived on the scene within half an hour During this trying time. although faced by the probability of imminent death, the troops main tained stedfast courage and discipline.

THE WAR IN BRIEF

Further gains by the British over the Germans northwest Of St. Quen- tin and ny the Germans over tho French in -the Champagne region Of France are recorded in the latest Brit i'h and French official commmica tors.
 British cavalry have captured me villages of Nillers-Faucon and Saul court lying d few miles north ot Roisel, and are virtually astride she St. Quentin-Cambrai road, says the British war office. which adds that additional terrain has been taken rum the Germans south and west Of Coisilles, despite strong resistance. Inc German war office, however, takes issue with the latter statement asserting that the fighting near Cror stiles was in their favor
 The activity on the main line held by the French west and south of St. Quentin is mainly by the artillery wings of the opposing forces. To the south of St. Quentin between Es5igny and Benay. fierce artillery duel is in progress.
 In Champagne the Germans, after a violent bombardment, attacked the positions held by General Niveue's troops west of Maisons de Cham paene and succeeded in penetrating elements of the French first line trenches. Sanguinary losses were in- flicted on the Germans, however, dur. ing unsuccessful efforts they made to capture the village of MaisoTs de Champagne. says the Paris war office.
 An early spring thaw on the Rus sian front from the Baltic sea to the Carpathian mountains has rendered impossible for the present any attack 'n force by the Germans against the Russians. This seemingly puts at naught for the time being, at least, the reported intentions oI the Ger mans to attempt to force their way from the Riga region toward Petro- grad. Minor operations arc in lrog ress, however.
