European.
Mai. Gen Frederick B. Maurice, the
| chief director of military operations at
the British war office, says the allies
are still superior in number on the
| western 'front.', Notwithstanding the
Germans have moved troops from the
east to the west.
Artillery activity continues on the
British, French, Italian and American
front, but, aside from this, the opera
tions have been confined to patrol and
aerial attacks.
London hears that twenty enemy air
planes which endeavored to cross the
American lines were violently shelled
by anti-aircraft batteries and driven
off.
A member of the military police on
the western front found three little
French children wandering along the
road Immediately behind the front,
which is shelled very frequently by
the enemy, and is considered very dan
gerous. He turned the children over
to an ambulance driver, who returned
them to their homes in a nearby viii
lage.
That a German submarine endeavOr
ed to attack the destroyers while the
is the statement made by an American
officer at an Irish port where a large
number of men were landed.
Few events of the war in the past
few months have stirred the English
people more deeply than the disaster
to American troops approaching Brit
ish harbor on British transport. Such
an eventuality had been feared.
The latest casualty list indicates
that the loss, on the Tuscania may be
one hundred or even less. This causes
a distinct relief from the tension.
The bodies of A of the missing 101
victims of the Tuscania disaster were
washed up in the rocks Is miles from
the scene Of the torpedoing. The bodies
were mutilated beyond recognition,
none Of whom wore identification tags.
The Cunard liner Aurania, 13,400
tons, was torpedoed by a German sub
marine while bound for the United
States. Although badly damaged, the
ship was not sunk, and no loss of life
is reported.
Operations on the western front con-
exchanges in conjunction with raiding
attacks on the opposing trenches.
London hears that looting has again
broken out in Petrograd, and that
many wine cellars have been sacked.
Armored cars were used by the au
thorities against the pillagers.
The Finnish railway authorities at
Torneo have received report that
the allied missions have been expelled
from Petrograd and that they have al
ready departed. There is no confirma-
ton of this report.
Thomas Smith of Glasgow, boat
swain on the Tuscania, says that the
loss of life from the destruction of the
Tuscania, was enhanced by many SOL
diers jumping overheard instead of
waiting for the boats to be lowered.
Venustiano Carranza, president of
Mexico, not only congratulated Emper-
VI W1111d" O1 0OIu1duy Ou Ills
day recently, London hears, but was
more profuse in his Fluctuations than
the occasion warranted.
Norway's reply to the proposals
from the American war trade board
regarding supplies from the United
States to Norway, published recently,
emphasizes the firm resolve of the
Norwegian people and government to
remain neutral.
Rome reports slight artillery activ-
ity on all the Italian front, but that
hostile aircraft have renewed their
bombardments of Italian towns.
Next in Importance to the opera
tons on the American front have been
attacks by the Germans against the
French in the Aisne region and north
Of Verdun. The French war office as
serts that the attacks north of the
Aisne were repulsed, but the German
war office says that south of Beau
court Baden storming troops pushed
far into the French front, INJECTING
heavy casualties and returned to their
own lines with prisoners.
