Paris, Septi~24.--In a series of night attacks, delivered with 'des- peration, the Germans last night failed to break through the French centre Beyond the bare announce ment that the attacks were repulsed in their entirety no particulars are as yet available.

London, Sept. 24.-- The Daily Chronicle's naval correspondent writes: The loss of three armed cruisers is-a disaster, the meaning of which it would be foolish to minim- ize. THe vessels were not new. They were even .obsolescent; but they valuable. Wherever the dizaster took place, danger was uot foreseen. The enemy's submarine was not pirceived by any lookeut. The conclusion, therefere, cannot be os cated nat a new e'ement in nave warfare has j.eciolly nearer to ite day four-fold by Sir Percy Scott in which the big ship would be doomed. Are we to conclude that big ships like the Aboukir, or let us say the latest battle cruisers, are at the mer- ¢y of the submarine assailant?: As vessels under way cannot carry tor- pedo nets outrigged, their safety seems to lie in vigilant observation, not by themselves, "but by accom- panying small craft, but still more in rapid movement and in altering their course so as to make it impos- sible for a submerged assgilant to determine their: position.
