into enemy territory a part of their
daily routine Following their incur
sion of Monday morning. when after
a bombardment, they raided German
front lines for 500 yards, unaided, as
had been customary. by the French,
they set out again on Tuesday and
made a successful surprise attack on
trenches south of Richecourt, which
lies to the northwest Xivray. whe1e
some of the hardest fighting in which
they have been engaged has taken
place.
All along the western front inten-
sive artillery duels and raiding oper-
ations are continuing on isolated sec.
tors. The Australians again have car
riod out successful raids into German
trenches northeast of Messines, killing
a number of Germans and making
prisoners of others. In Lorraine the
French near Moncel put down eff
fectively a strong German attempt at
IA foray, inflicting heavy losses on the
enemy and also taking prisoners.
In addition to a continuation of the
artillery duels along the Italian front
there is considerable aerial activity

Italians brought down five hostile
planes.
No Rest for Turks.
The British troops in Palestine are
giving the Turks no rest. Again they
have driven forward their lines north
west of Jerusalem. Numerous casual
ties were inflicted on the Ottoman
troops and several machine guns were
captured.
Monday nights air raid over Paris
was the most disastrous, in point OF
casualties, the Germans have yet car

were killed and seventy-nine injured
by bombs in Paris and its suburbs and
thirty-six other persons were suffo-
Gated in the Metropolitan railway
tube, where they had fled to escape
the missiles of the raiders. Some
sixty hostile machines carried out the

bombing of Stuttgart and other Ger
man towns.
German aircraft attacked the York
shire coast of England Tuesday night
and British aviators have dropped a
ton Of bombs on the town of Coblenz
in Prussia.
Siberian situation Serious
The situation in Siberia apparently
is daily growing more serious. AS
yet the Japanese government has
reached no decision concerning
whether japanese troops are to be
sent to Siberia, according to an an
nouncement made by Premier Tera'
uchi.
In the meantime, the Bolshevik
forces have defeated General Semen
off, the anti Bolshevik leader, and
compelled him to retreat into Man
churia. Former German prisoner
are believed to be aiding the Rolshe'
vik troops.
Whether or not the revolutionists
will follow Semenoff into Chinese ter
rtory is not known at present but a
warning has been issued to them by
the Chinese commander at Harhif
that any invasion of Chinese territory
will be regarded as an act of war.

TO France has successfully defended
itself against a German submarine at

ter boat shelled the steamer, damag
ing the bridge and boring a holt
through smokestack.
