A deal:nut/A) froln Doter says.: It

at least three submarines were hit.
The night was very darkand a
heavy -ran and haze made search-
light- work difficult. Fortunately
theforts were put on the alert

the appearance' of the harbor :ens'
trance: 'of aitqiiclentifie& steamer
which refused to stop until a shot
was fired acmes her bow. This ves-
sea then retired. She is. believed
to have been the tender of the sub-
marines. Half an hour later, it is
said, a single submarine was sight-
ed and one of the heavy guns in
the harbor fired at her. This sub-
marine, which evidently was the ad-
vance scout, disa,ppe.ared, but at
half-paet six the observers sighted
a fleet of submarines several miles
out in the channel. The ohannel
forts commenced firing in the direc-
tion of the submarines and kept it
up almost half an hour. ,At the
same tirne a torpedo4soat destroyer
flotilla put to sea,
Large crowds gathered on the wa-
ter front in the early morning
hours and watched the searehlights
'and the artillery fire.

Miss -brief mess,age to the Admiralty
from Vice -Admiral Sir Frederick

South American fleet which stank

lands, showed that the business of
clearing the high 'setae of German
warships ie proceeding with ,des-
patch.
The engagement, one of the
greatest that has ever been fought
between modern weeships, lasted
only five hours. The Scharnhorst
7.4went down at the end of three
‘hourS and the Gneisenau followed
'Admiral von Spee's flagship to -the
:bottom two hours later. The fight-

The fate of the Leipiig was anon
sealed, and she was destroyed in
time for the inclusion of the news
in the first brief report which Ad-
Sturde.e flashed to England.
The speedy British cruisers then
oontineed their pursuit :of the re-
maining boats, arid, evidently over-
took the Nurnberg within a few
hours. The Dresden was "corner-
ed" later. Thus the Karlsruhe is
left alone in the Atlantio, and is
believed to he in hiding.. That the
Dresden was able to .escape un -

they had previously taken, and have
been driven back towards the Ger-
man frontier, with the Cossacks in
hot pursuit, re the chief feature of
the official !statements from the
Beissia,n, general headquarters. The
:communication issued in Pettwracl
says: •
'In the Mialwa, region (Northern

key has oecurred at liondeida,
Arabian Red Sea port 100 miles

A despatch from Montreal says:
So successful were the Canadian
manufacturers in 'satisfying the Bri-
tish War Office with the quality of
the 200,000 shrapnel shells ordered

order for 600,000 is now to be dis-

ENEMY GIVES MORE GROUND
Hammered by Heavy Guns, He Has Been force,c1
lo Evacuate Positions
A despatch from Paris says: No
other eortoluelon cat be drawn from
the detailed 'report made public by
the -French Geverpment Saturday
than that the allies have •gained the
upper hand all. a,losirr rate western
battle line from the North stia, to
Alsace. Day a,fter day they have
increased the pressure on the Ger-
man positions, and little by little
the Germans have given ground,
now at one point, now at tainother ;
so that now there is more definite
reason to believe that the Germans
are on the verge of withdrawing
from Flanders and surrendering the
bitterly eontested area in. Northern
France than there has been at any
time in the 18 weeks of the war.
The 'superiority of the /allies in ar-
tillery and infantry, so positively
asserted by recent official reports,
was again made manifeet.sehen the
French and British dealt staggering
blows to the German forces in Flane.
dere, in Artois, between the Oise
and theAisne, and in the Argonne.
The ,outstanding features of the de
tailki reports were `the vieferies'
Rained at the Yser and et the hinge

lish corps,. ,asscl constantly .aestviled

the troops of the Kaisterhave „sacri-
ficed thousands of menin a vain at-
tempt to keep a foothold on the
west bank of the Yser and to'eap-
ture Ypres. The ii energy'and Sae-
rifieee have :been utterly profitle0s,
and the allies have moved ste,adi.sy
eastwerd and riarthward. There is
credible unofficial . news which
etates...that the Germans are so hard
pressed that their withdrawal to
the newly prepared fortified "Jsnie
from Antwerp, through Beuseele and
to Namur and .Liege 'cannot possibly
be long delayed. •
