The toll of prisoners is rapidly mounting. In Sir Douglas Haig's attack .New Zealanders participated, and gave a good account of themselves. The British-are forcing the pressure in the region of Albert, and are reported to have captured the town. ■' There is no change in ■ the situation in Siteria beyond a statement showing that the Austro-German-Bolshe-vik force arrayed against the Czecho-Slovaks is a very formidable ■ one.-
