Russia's Great Fight — British and

Fiench Success—German Trenches

Destroyed—Turkey and Bulgaria

The struggle on the Warsaw front is still raging furiously, the Russians offering a formidable resistance to the German advance. The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph states that the battle-line is advancing and receding at different points.

Sir John French reports a further success gained by the British in the mining warfare on the Ypres. By the explosion of a mine under a German salient, south-west of Zillebeke, trenches of the enemy were destroyed, the British gaining some ground. Details of the earlier explosion of a British mine near Hooge show that important results were thereby gained, a strong German redoubt being destroyed.

Powerful German defensive works in the Vosges have been captured' by the French, over 800 prisoners being taken.

Turkey has ceded to Bulgaria the Turkish portion of the Dedeagatch railway, with territory to the west of the line.

Italian hydro-aeroplanes operating from Lake Garda, dropped 18 bombs on the railway station at Riva, in the south of Trentino. An Austrian attack in the Monte Nero region was repulsed with heavy loss.
