The Eiîglish coasti was again visited by German warships on Tuesday morning. They were sighted off Lowestof t by the British local naval forces and were engaged. They fought for twenty minutes and then fled. 1Before fieeing one of the vessels firedI nto Lowestoft' but little damage was done. Two men, a woTnan and a child were killed. At the sanie time ire was openea on Yarmouth, and one or two buildings were slight- ly damaged.1 About the sanie time a fleet of Zeppelins made a raid over the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. This la the region in whjch are situated Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Some bombs were dropped, but a fog made it im- possible for 'the enemy to get any aocuracy of alun. The British fleet shelled the sen cost in the neighborhoo)d of Zeebruggze on the 24th. It is reported that threpe German destiroyers, after being hit, were forced to withdraw into the harbor. Little opportunity is being given the enemy forces to concenra'te in Egypt. Acroplane reconnaissance keeps the authorities advised of any hostyle movemnent. During the week an attack was made on Quatia, but the force used was not sufficiently strong, and a wtthdrawal was necessary. But this was only for a day. Strohger forces were brought up and the enerny had to fiee. ('anadian troops have bien ini action almost conbinuously during the week. In the neighborhood of St. Eloi the Germans have been making freqiient attempts. to recapture the crater positions taken from thcm on March 27, lbut the men fron tihe Dominion have repelled every attack and caused much loss to the Gerann. In the neighborhood of Verdun the French are taking the offensive more and more. They are also proving the superiority of their artillery fire over that of the Germans. There has been considerable fighting during the week, especially in the neighborhood of Dead Man's' Bill, but the French net only successfully defended that position, but even retook sarne trenches on the niorthern slope which had been captured from them somé tume l)ef ore. I The campaign in Mesopotamia gives ground for anxiety. The Tigris is still in flood, and the advance of the British force to the relief of Kul-el-Amara is clelayed. There has been some fighting with the relieving force, and the enemy have made great dlaims which have been discounted by the despatches of Sir Perey Lake.i The Russians, since they captured Trebizond, have kept up tyheir àdvance westward along the shore of the Black Sea. No sooner had the firmt Russians who landed nt* Marscîies got half-way toward the battle front than an- other force equally big was reported as having landed there, boo. There la now no doubt of any intention of Russie, te make. any peace before the Allies do. CHINESE REBELS PLAN LONGEST SIEGE 0F WAR. ADVANCE ON PEKIN.
