TUESDAY

Dunkirk has suffered a second attack from the air. Twelve German avaitors dropped 30 bombs into the town. The casualties were few and the damage slight. The French are fighting spiritedly in Alsace. In an attack upon Burnhaupt their artillery annihilated an entire German Brigade. Bitter flighting has taken place at Cernay. The Germans have again bombarded Soissons. Isolated engagements are reported from various parts qf the battle-front in France. In an interim reply to the Note from the United' States regarding the examination of cargoes, Sir Edward Grey affirms Great Britain's intention to examine suspected vessels. He says it is imperative that Britain should stop copper shipments not genuinely intended for neutrals, and points out that huge increases in imports by neutral countries of American copper created the strong presumption that the bulk of the cargoes were intended for the enemy's use.
