Germans of other rank.
1852 Germans Rescued.
zone hundred and ffty-two wound
ed German prisoners were rescued by
British patrol vessels at the imminent
risk of themselves being torpedocd.
"Owing to the German practice of
sinking hospital ships at sight and to
the fact that distinctive marking and
lighting of such vessels render them
more conspicuous targets for German
submarines. 1t has become no longer
possible to distinguish our hospital
ships in the customary manner. one
of these two ships, therefore, tho
carrying wounded, was not in any way
outwardly distinguished as a hospital
ship.
"The distinctive markings of the
other had not yet been removed. Both
were provided with an escort for pro-
lection"

GERMANS BEATEN
IN NAVAL FIGHT
Two Teutonic Torpedo De-
stroyers Admitted Lost by
Berlin Admiralty.
By Associated Press.

Berlin admits loss of two German
torpedo boat destroyers in the fight
with British sea forces off Dover Fri
day night. German destroyers on
Sunday threw one hundred shells
ashore in the region of Calais, killing
some civilians and wounding twelve
other persons.
Calais is the western terminal of
the main railroad artery that supplies
the British armies on the Lens Arras
battle front. The town lies directly
opposite the British channel port of
Dover. near which place five German
destroyers attempted a raid on British
shipping Friday night with the result
that two German ships, and possibly
three, were sunk by British patrol
boats.
After Lloyd George.
1t has been suggested the object OF
the raid was to interrupt the voyage
of Premier Lloyd George across the
channel from the continent where he
had been in conference with the
French and Italian prime ministers.
Apparently a big battle is brewing
along the front between Arras and

Likewise on that part of the front
held by the French artillery duels pre-
dominated, being intense between the
Somme and the Disc. In Champagne
the Germans launched several attacks
which were repulsed with heavy cas-
ualties.
Berlin asserts that near Braye and
the Hurtebise farm and on the
Rheims Neufchatel road north OF
Prosnes and also on the western bank
of the Suippes river the French in at
tacks Saturday suffered heavy losses.
