MINOR', V : v" According to the news from the 'Western front to-day, the enemy seems to be devoting considerable attention to the British, but their attacks have availed them nothing. The gallantry of the Canadian ...attacks during the recent crater fighting at St. Eloi is now known;'to • have resulted in heavy losses to the Germans/ The fighting on the-'' ; Verdun front continues to be of a most desperate and sanguinary character. The Hun Press is busy trying to inflame Dutch feeling against the British, and to-day circulates a typical example of its methods. The Russians in; their Asia Minor'campaign have seized new Turkish positions, and from further south comes news based apparently on private advices, that all is well at Kut-el-Amara, and that relief is' expected shortly. The Turkish report of the battle of Felahie claims that tho British sustained serious losses. The diplomatic correspondence between the States Government and the German authorities with - reference to recent incidents of the pirate war on tho high seas has reached an interesting stage. Germany denies'the sinking of'the Sussex, but admits the Englishman and others occurred about t the , jsame.time/pWith'a brazen assertion that such things must, in the aatu're of things, be expected to happen. . .*
