GERMAN CONFISCATIONS DENOUNCED

Later particular of the fighting on the British front in tho West show that the Germans suffered very heavily as tho result of their fruitless attacks. Apparently they intended to scoro by surprise tactics, but the British gunners, apprised of the movei, made havoc of their advancing masses, and in the subsequent counterattack tiie morale of the storming troops was palpably shaken. There have been no further developments of material importance, hut the British air squadrons have been doing much executi.on in their bombing expeditions behind the lines. The Goiman eonccntration of naval forces in tho Baltic is still in progress, and a large number of troops havo heen landed at tho base on tho A aland Islands. Meanwhile the Red i'error'sm at Helsingfors is rciaching a point at which relief, from whatsoever source, will he welcome.
