FLOATING MINE IN..COANNEL
aoo Were Saved Out of a Total of 38$ -Vessel
Recently Conveyed Kiln ; Across
A despatch from. London says: The
hospital ship Anglia, with about 800
wounded amen aboard, in addition to
the crew, nurses and attendants,
bound from France for Dover, struck'
a mine in mid -Channel and sank in -a
very short time. About 85 men, most
of • them seriously wounded, and,
therefore, in , their cots, lost thein
lives,
The collierLusitania, which was
nearby y at the time of the accident,
immediately went to the assistance of
the Anglia, and her boats had just
been lowered when she also struck a
•
mine and 'foundered. All her crew
were saved.
A. patrol vessel suoceeded in resew..
big 300 of the Anglia's passengers
and crew, including some nurses. A
number of bodies were recovered.
The mine is supposed to have brake
from its moorings in the recent storm,
An official communication says:
"King George was shocked to hear
that the Anglia, which so reeently
eonveyed him across the Channel, had
been sunk. His Majesty is grieved at
the lois incurred, but trusts thnt the
survivors have not unduly suffered
from their terrible exposure."

The Week's Development in the War.
The week's fighting apparently has been very desperate on four frontiers, but news over therinci al cable
has been a succession of unofficial despatches, one contradicting 'another. It is obviates thatp p
Von Hindenburg
is somewhat of a fallen idol, his desperate drives for Riga and Dvinsk have been mate with his customary

ing with their plan of "campaign, to wear down the enemy and keep him from detaching :men for other fronts.
In Flanders and France there has been. little outside of artillery and bomb fighting, The Italians, recently

RRITIS. TAKE
TURK PINCHES
Well-prepared Attack in the Darda-
nelles Was an Unqualified
Success.
A despatch from London says:
Simultaneously with the arrival of
Lord Kitchener at the Dardanelles
comes an official report of the resump-
tion of the offensive on Gallipoli by
the allies, nearly 300 yards of the
enemy's trenches being captured.
The text of the statement follows:
"In the Dardanelles the 52nd divi-
sion carried out a very successful at-
tack on the Turkish trenches on the
15th instant, for which careful pre-
paration had been in progress for a
considerable time.
"Three mines were exploded suc-
cessfully under the enemy's trenches
in the neighborhood of the Krithia
Nullah, and the infantry pushing for-
ward immediately afterward cap-
tured about 160 yards of trenches on
the east of the nullah and 120 yards
on its west. The captured trenches
were at once consolidated and bomb-
ing parties pushed on up to the com-
munication trenches and erected bar-
ricades.
"Simultaneously with the assault
our artillery opened on the enemy's
reserve support trenches, two 14 -inch
monitors and H.M.S. Edgar (cruiser)
co-operating, and maintained their fire
until the position was reported con-
solidated.
"The enemy's batteries replied hea-
villy, but very erratically, and did
little damage: The Turks in the neigh-
boring trenches, who fired heavily,
were caught by machine gun and rifle
fire and bombs, and suffered consid-
erably, their fire becoming very wild.
"A counter-attack was made, but it
was easily repulsed. Our casualties
were under 50 killed and wounded:
Over 70 dead were seen in the cap-
tured position, and a wounded pri-
soner reports that over 30 were buried
by the explosion of one mine.
ATTEMPT TO BURN
STRINGS OF CARS
A despatch from New York says:
The authorities are investigating
three separate fires which were start::
ed in two strings of freight cars in
the Erie Railroad yards at Weehaw-
ken, N.J., about 100 feet away from a
corral containing 500 horses waiting
shipment to Europe, Watchmen saw
three men flee from the yards and
fired several revolver shots, but the
fugitives escaped. The firemen who
extinguished the flames discovered
that waste from the journals of the
cars had been soaked in oil, placed in
the corners of empty cars and ignited.
The damage was slight.

GERMAN DESTROYER
STEADIED AWAY
Pursued British Steamer Into Swe-
dish Waters Where Her Designs
Were Frustrated.
A despatch from Copenhagen says:
The British steamier Thelma's depar-
ture from Trelleborg, Sweden, where
she had been lying since the begin-
ning of the war, was marked by an
exciting naval adventure, in which the
vessel escaped capture by a German
destroyer through assistance rendered
by the Swedish torpedo boat Pollux.
When south of Landskrona, 16 miles
north-east of Copenhagen, the Thelma
was pursued by the German destroyer
W132 into Swedish territorial waters.
While the Germans were in the act
of boarding the steamer, the Polux
forced them to return to their boat,
and, running between the two vessels,
informed the Germans that every
means would he employed to prevent
the Thelma from being talon.
After an interval of silence in
which both 'warships cleared for ac-
tion, the German destroyer steamed
away.

sult of a conference in New York be-
tween A. Bruce Bielaski, Chief of the

teph Goricar, former Austrian Con-
sul. A department statement an-
nouncing this also said that informa-

would lead to further; indictments for

GERMAN LINES
GROWING THIN
Reports from the Russian Fighting
' Fronts Show the Wastage
of Enemy.
A despatch from • Petrograd says:
"We have mastered the situation, and
the action will develop according to
our initiative," is the report sent by
Gen. Ruszky, the Russian commander
who leads the army on the Dvinsk
front against Field. Marshal von Hin-
denburg. "The enemy is demoralized,
and its backbone broken," Gen. Rus-
zky adds.
These words apparently are con-
firmed by the German casualty lists
published recently, which show that
the enemy has lost 85,000 men in the
last few weeks on the Russian front.
Russian military observers are find-
ing frequent indications that the Ger-
man lines on this front are growing
increasingly thin. These 'are furnish-
ed by reports from the fighting lines,
notably from the sector north-east;of
Riga. As an instance, it is stated
that in capturing the passage between
two marshes, the Russians found the
solo defenders of the positions to be
two Germans with machine guns,
