The Colombia was sunk by a torpedo, only one deck hand be- ing saved by other trawlers. A division of British destroyers, comprising the Laforey, L#eonida«, Lawford and Lark, chased the two German ve.ssels. and after a brieif running fightt of abou t onei hour sank them both.

The gas, the narrative says, wa.* distributed along the German front line in front of the French poeition. and the wind being from the north it was blown directly on the i French. The German plan, accord- , ing to the '"eye-witness," was to make a sudden onslaught aouth- westward. which, if successful, would enable the Germans to gain crossings of the canal south of Bix- echoote and place them well behind the Britisdi line and in a position to threaten Ypres. "Allowing trine for the vapors to take full effect on the troops facing bhem," says the "ej-e- witness," "the Germans charged forward over the practically unresisting enemy in their immediate front, and, penetrating through the gap thus created, pressed on silently and swiftly to the south and west. By their sudden irruption they were able to over-run and surprise a large proportion of the French troops billeted behiaid the front line in this area and to bring some of the French guns, as well as our own, under a hot ritte fire at close range. "Our flank being thus exposed, the troops were ordered to retire on St. Julien, with their left flank parallel to, but to the west of tiie high road. The splendid resistance of these troops (the C-ajiadiaas>, who saved the situation, already has been mentioned by the com- mander-in-chief. CAIADIANS Um THE DA!

Ho died half an hour after being removed to the Montreal General Hospital. Bauzek wa:^ in n party of 106 Aus»trians who were being taken from the detention prison on St. Antoine Street, this city, to the detention camp at Spi- rit Lake. Major W. E. I>ate, pro- vost marshal ; Captain Grifl&ths and a strong guard had marched the prisoners to Windsor Station, into which the .Vustrians were turning, when Bauzek mad? his break for liberty. He started along Osborne Street toward Stanley Street, pur- sued by a serge anit and a guard. He h^d almost reached Stanley Street, a short block away, when the guard called: "Halt! or I'll ahoot." After vainly shouting his warning three times, with Bauzek thirty feet away, the guard fired. The bullet hit Bauzek in the chest, back of the right lung, and passed cleair througjh his b<.vdy. He did not speak, etxcept to ask for a drink, and s>oon lapsed into un- consci'-Hisncss. Girl Promoted to Lieutenant. A despatch from Petrograd says : Army orders contain notice of the promotion of a young woman, Alex- andra Lagerev, to lieuteivant. With sixteen other girls belonging to families of Cossacks, she has been fighting alongside her male rela- tives since the beginning of the war. Eig'ht of the girls have been killed. Lieut.

Only 125 Survivors From Leon Gambetta A despatch from Paris says : An official statement issued by the Ministry of Marine says : '"One hun- dred and ten survivors of the French armored cruiser Leon Gam- betta. which was sunk by the Aus- trian submarine L'-5, have been taken to Syracuse, and 25 others are at Brindisi. The bodie« of -Ad- miral Sene« and of 52 sailors have been buried at Cape Leuca. "The circumstances of Che loss of the cruiser have not yet exactly been made known. There is no confirmation that abe previously had been hailed by a ^ip, and no credit slu^uld be attached to report* and commentaries based on infor- mation frt«n foreign sources.'' A Reeruiting Device. A despatch from London says : Flirting can be made an effective recruiting expedient. At a recent recruiting rally a girl held up her hand and announced that she had sent five young men to the front. At the end of the meeting she indi- cated the young man at her sid» ai>d declared: "Here's the sLxth!" This caused the speaker to say : "Flirting of that kind is the ri^t sort of patriotism." And he ad- vised the young girls of the audi- eiice to use their wiles in behalf of King and country. ALLIES AT DARDANELLES Opening of the Battle. The day was a peaceful one, warm and sunny, and except that the pre- \'ious dav had witnessed a further bombardment of the stricken town of Ypres, everything seemed quiet in front of the Canadian line. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon a plan carefully prepared was put into execution agaiiust our French allies on tlie left. Asphyxiating gas of great intensity was projected into their trenches, probably by means of force pumps and pipes laid out under the parapets. The fumes, aided by a favorable wind, floated backwards, poisoning and disabling over an extended area those who fell under their effect. The result was that the French were comj>elled to give groitnd for a considerable disrtance. The glory which the French army has won in this war Would make it impertinent to labor on the compelling nature of the poisonous discharges under which the trenches were lost. The French did, as everyone knew they would do, all that stout s<jidiers could do, and the Canadian division, officers and men. look forward to maJiy occasions in the future in which they will stand side by side wiith the brave armies of France. Tlie immediate con.sequence of this enforced withdra'wal was, of Course, extremely grave. The third brigade of the Canadian division was without any left, or, in other words, its left was in the air. It became imperatively necesjsary greatly to e.xtend the Canadian lines to the left rear It was not, of course, practicable to mo\-e the first brigade from reserve at a mo- ment's notice, and the line, ex- tended from five to nine thousand yards, was not naturally the lin'a that had been held by the allies at five o'clock, and a gap still existed on its left Capture of the (iuik«. The new line, of which our re- cent point of contact with the French formed the apex, ran quite roughly to the south and west. As shown above, it became necessary f<.r Brigadier-General Turner, commanding the third brigade, to throw back his left tlank southward to protect his rear. In the course of the confusion which followed upon the readjustment of position, the enemy, who liad advanced rapidly after h:s initial successes, took four Britisli 4.7 guns in a sroAll wood to the west of the village of St. Julien. two miles in *he rear of the original French trenches. The sttnry of the second Battle of Vpres is the story of how the Cana- dian divi-ion. enormously outnum- bered, for they had in front of (hem at least four divisions. supp..>rt-ed bv immensely heavv artillery-, with a gap still existing, thougfi ne- duced, in their lines, and with dis- p<>8itions made hurriedly under the stimulua of criticaJ danger, fought through the day and through the nigirt, and then through another diay and night ; fought under Chear officers until, as happened to si> many, these perished gloriously, and then fought from the impulsion of sheer valor beoau.se they canM from fighting stock. The enemy, of course, was aware whether fully or r»ot may perhaps be doubted, of the advantage him breach in the line had given him, and immediately began to push a formidable series of attacks upon the whole of the newly formed Canadian salient. If it is possible to distingnisii when the attack waj everywhere s» fierce it developed with particular intenaity at this moment upon th* apex of the uewly-formed line run- ning in the direction of St. Julien. It has already been stated that four British guns were taken in a Wood Comparatively early in tb« evening of the 22nd. In the oouras of that night, and under the heavi- est machine gun fire, this wood waa assaulted by the Canadian Scot- tish, 16th battalion, of the 3rd brigade, and the lOth batLali«jn of the 2nd brigade, which was inter- cepted for thi.s purpose on its vty to a reserve trench. The battalioixs were respectively commanded bj Lieut. Col. Leckie and Lieut -Col. Boyle, and after a most fierca struggle in the light of a misty moon they took the position at the point of the bayonet .\t midnight the second battalion, under Lieut. - Col. Watson and tlie Toronto regi- ment, Queen's Own (3rd battalion), under Lieut -Col Rennie. both of the 1st brigiade. brought up much- needed reinforcements, and tbougli uot actually engaged in the assault, were in resen-e. Liuc Never Wavrr«4. .\ll through the following day and ' nights these battalions shared tlM fortunes and misfortunes of the : third brigade. An officer who took part in the attack describes how the men about him fell under the j fire of the roaclune guns, which, in his phrase, played upon them I ''1 ke a wat ring pot." He added quite simply. "I wrote my own life off." but the line never wav- I ered. When one man fell another I t<»k his place, and. with a final 1 shout, the survivors of the two battalions flung themselves into the Wood. The German garri*i>n wan completely demoralized, and the imi>etuous ad\-aiice of the Cana- dians did not cease until they reached tho far side of the wood and entrenched themselves there in tlie position s*.- dearly gained Line Thrown Across Southern Extremity of the Gallipoli Peninsular Boy KiUs Sentries. A despat-cili from Le Mans, Paris, says : Jacques Goujon, seventeen years old, has been citied in military orders and given a military medal. The youth killed two German senti- nels, blew up with the aid of bdlubs two quick -fircirs of the ejieniy, was captured, but succeeded in escap- ing, carrying with him at the same time a machine gun of the Germans to tlhe French line*. Later, during a German counter-attack. Gou- jon's right arm wa» blown off by a shell. The military authoritiw at Lyons, Goujon 's home city, had re- fused to accept him for milit*ry duty on account of liis age. He went to Paris, where he was :\.c- cepted because of his robust con- stitution. ZEPPELirS ABE AGAIS BUSY Three Houses Hit In the Town of Ipswich and Set on Fire, But Nobody Was Hurt A de«ipatch from Ipswich, Suf- folk, says : .\ hostile air craft raid-ed Ipswich ea.rly Thursday morning. Several bombs were dropped. One struck a hou!**^ in Brt>okalwi,ll Road. It was an incen- diary bomb and it pierced the roof and fell into tlie beaixKim of a little §rirl. Some of th© furniture was <et afir«s but tlvo oliild was vcscue<l by Iter father, Harry Goodwin. The fiiunes 8pi'«a<i to two adjoining lK>use>s, whioh within an hour were almost destroyed.

Already the British troopa have thrown a line iwrosa the southern extremity of the Gallipoli Peninsula from the .'\egean coast to a point north-east of Eski HJssarlik, a strongly forti- fied position facing the straits, thus isolating the Turkish stronghold at Sedd el Bahr, at the \-ery lip of the Dardanelles. This has been done, says the Ad- miralty, in the face of a streauous resistance by the Turkish forces, who have combated every foot of ground won with furious obstinacy. Further north on the Aegean side of the peninsula, at Gaba Te- beh, and at a point opj-n^site to the inland village of Saribair, addi- tional landing forces have made good their foothold on Turkish soil, and have driven tlie opposing forces back from the ooaist despite a vigor- ous artillery ftre. Gaba Tebeh is about ten niilee from the end of the Gallipoli Peninsula: Saribair is about five miles farther. The trcM'>ps who drove a line across the penin- sula to the vicinity of Eski Hisar- lik landetl on a level shore some three miles from the entrance to the straits. Eski Hissarlik is some three miles inside the straits. With the French army of inva- sion holding Kum Kale at the southern or .\siatic side of the en- trance, and the British forces sweeping across the lower fifteen miles of the Gallipoli Peninsula, it will thus be seen that the task of acquiring a foothold has been ac- complished with great speed. Sedd el Bahr is already cut off from it.s base of supplies, and must of ne- cessity fall before nvany days ; Kum Kale is practically in tho hands of the French, and north, at the entrance to the Narrows, Kilid Bahr, a position upon which tl>e Turks place great reliance, is the objective of a Briti'sh army which is driving the eiveni.v rapidly before it. The desT»«tche3 indicate that both the French and Britis-h forces are entirely landed, despite most ela- borate precautions taken by the Turks, und'er the gpeueralship of German commanders, who had wo- ven a network of wire entangle- ments just off the aliore under the sea swell and had dug great pits which were t-eethed with spikes. The shore as well had been fortified with barbed wire. .V despatch from London says : .Vfter very serious fighting, in which the "Turks offered a stubborn resistance, British troops have firmly established themselves on the Gallipoli Peninsula and made considerable advance toward the narrows of the Dardanelles, while the French have cleared Cape Kum Kale, on the .\siatic side of the straits, of the Turks. Thus it may be said that tlie second and nK>st s»erious attempt to force the Dar- danelles hiis been fairly launched. Work of the Australians.
