The announcement of the British war office of the withdrawal of the Ger an forces along an eleven mile front on both sides of the River An ere in France is admitted by the Der lin war office for the first time. The ground was voluntarily and system atically evacuated, and the defense placed in another prepared line" says Berlin, which adds that the movement remained concealed from the enemy"
 Again the British have further pushed forward their line to the north of the Ancre and again apparently without much opposition from the Germans. The latest point of retreat of the Teutons. as reported by the London war office is north of Mirau- mont. where. over front of a mile and half the British advanced an average distance of 500 yards.
 That the Germans in their retreat during the last month have offered little or no opposition seems evident from the British communication, which says that during that period only 2,133 Germans were made prison CT.
 In the Somme region. the Germans after a heavy bombardment launched raiding attacks against the British trenches at Ablaincourt and Rain court and at each place succeeded in penetrating the British trenches. They later were expelled. according to London. Berlin records the re- pulse of a strong British attack east of SoucheZ, while Paris reports sue cessful surprise attack on a German trench in the region of Tapure.
 On none of the other fronts has any tattle of great proportions been in progress. Russian counter attacks against the Hungarian forces, who captured positions in the Jaco- beni-Kimpulong sector near the Ru- manian-Bukowina border. resulted in the capture of several of the posi- tions, according to Petrograd.
 Attacks north of Jacobeni-Kimpu- long road failed.
 In the Tigris region the British are hard on the heels of the Turks, ac- cording to an official announce D mt made in the British house of con- mons. The Ottoman force retreating from Kut-el-Amara would reach Bag dad disorderly mob, it was asserted.
 A single Ger an aeroplane has dropped bombs on the town of Broad s airs, on the island of Thanet, off the Kentish coast of England. A woman was slightly injured.
 The reports of the last 24 hours show five additional ships of an az gregate tonnage of 1857 have been sunk in the unrestricted submarine warfare.

TO BUY JEWELRY. In jewelry probably more than in any other commodity the ordinary per son has less knowledge of the real worth of an article.
 All isn't gold that glitters. So it generally is a wise course for the average person to pursue to make every Jewelry purchase from some store that has earned the public confidence.
