The procâ€" lamation has had the desired effect. GERMANS ADMIT 47 SUBMARINES SUNK A despatch from Petrograd says: A proclamation issued by the prefect of Moscow exhorts the inhabitants of that city to avoid a repetition of the regrettable incidents of the last two days, when five persons were killed and a number slightly wounded as a result of unwarranted interference with the police. The Germans are trying to divert the allies by a heavy artillery bomâ€" bardment north and south of the Aisne, but, plans having been made by CGen. Joffre, the French are strikâ€" ing with all their forces at their comâ€" mand at the points selected. The reâ€" port that the German Emperor has arrived at the western front is conâ€" firmed, and he has already dismissed some of his generals for allowing their lines to be pressed back to alâ€". most the breaking point. \ FIVE PERSONS KILLED DURING MOSCOW RIOT Perhaps the heaviest fighting since the offensive began is now going on, for the British are attacking the Gerâ€" man third line of defence south of La Bassee Canal, and the Germans have brought un reinforcements against both the British and the French, and are making every effort to retrieve the lost ground. Belgium, despatchesl from Holland say, has been denuded of troops, while German detachments are even being removed from the eastâ€" ern front to meet the greatest effort made in the west since the armies took up their present positions from Belgium to Switzerland. East of Tahure and north of Manâ€" giges, where the fighting was as bitâ€" ter as at any other point on the entire front, the French made fresh gains in spite of the furious resistance beâ€" ing offered by the Germans. There is no doubt of the character of this reâ€" sistance. The Germans are doing the stiffest fighting yet displayed by them in the west. In Champagne the struggle continâ€" ues no less furiously. French troops are gradually making their way up the Tahure heights and are closing in along the approaches to the village itself. These heights, like the crest of Hill 140 in Artois, will afford the French guns a clear sweep towards the CGerman communications at the rear, and will make it possible to so embarrass the German operations that a continued defence of that region‘ will be very difficult. its summit the German communicaâ€" tions for miles around will be imperâ€" illed. The battle continues without respite, In Artois the French troops pressed forward step by step until they had reached the dominating height known as Hill 140, and the extensive orchards to the south. This hill, the highest in the vicinity, commands a great exâ€" panse of country to the north, and once the French guns are placed on A despatch from Paris says: The War Office announced that the German casualties in killed, wounded and priâ€" soners are in excess of three army corps, 120,000 on the fifth day of the fighting on the western front. The amount of booty is enormous. Already 79 cannon have been dragged to the rear of the French lines with a mass of uncounted material, including rifles, machine guns, ammunition and supâ€" plies.

A despatch from Washington says: Sir Cecilâ€"Springâ€"Rice, the British Amâ€" bassador, personally delivered to Actâ€" ing Secretary Polk at the State Deâ€" partment a safe conduct under which Dr. Constantin Dumba, the Austrian Ambassador, will return to Vienna. The ‘department asked for the safe conduct some days ago when Dr. Dumba telegraphed from the Summer Embassy at Lenox, Mass., that he had been ordered home, and requested that arrangements for his safe pasâ€" sage be made. J GREAT BRITAIN ISSUES DUMBA‘S SAFE CONDUCT Already large reinforcements for the Germans are arriving on the westâ€" ern front, and their presence has already had the effect of slackening somewhat the allies‘ offensive. But there is a possibility of the offensive breaking out on some other section of this front. In fact, the correspondent of the Cologne Gazette at German headquarters announces that an atâ€" tack was made east of Auberville, which he says was repulsed. It would seem that in Champagne particularly it was the cavalry that completed the rout of the Germans from their first positions. The charge iof the horsemen, say the wounded, lmade a fine spectacle, and was the last thing needed to turn the Germans l to flight. Many of the men are wounded in the legs. It was the machine gun fire playing on them as they advanced that made the most wounds. A great many, too, are suffering from bayonet wounds. Lexdh | their progress. According to the Gerâ€" _ man account these latter troops were | captured. The Germans, however, adâ€" mit the loss of Hill 191, to the north of Massiges, where the French are not far from the railway triangle, the possession of which has been of the greatest advantage to the Germans, as one of the lines has been used for supplying the Argonne army. | French Wounded in Paris. The wounded French soldiers now in Paris say that the system of wire entanglements built by the Germans was more intricate than anything they had dreamed of. Even after the big guns had literally churned up the earth many of the stakes and entanâ€" glements remained as a serious imâ€" pediment to rapid advance. _ _A bombardment of unusual intensâ€" ity of the newly won positions in Arâ€" tois has failed completely to dislodge the French troops or even to shake the security of their hold. The latest entrenchments taken in this sector, on the heights between Souchez and Vimy, are being planted with heavy batteries. At several points the French troops have gained a footing in the second line, and some of them even went right through, but encountering Gerâ€" man reserves, were unable to maintain A despatch from Paris says: More ground has been gained by the French, and everywhere in Artois and in Champagne the great offensive continues. The booty captured in the first rush of the forward movement is growing rapidly as the work of counting is completed, so that now the seriousness of the German losses is much more clearly understood than was the case immediately after the first onslaught. The number of heavy field pieces taâ€" ken in Champagne alone now totals 121. Everywhere in Champagne the Offensive Movement Conâ€" tinues.

Some handâ€"toâ€"hand fighting with bombs and bayonets, and then out of the village to the slope of Hill 70, about half a mile to the east. The last desperate rush took them to the summit, some going even beyond until checked by a strong earthvrork defence with numerous machine guns. "The first charge made by our men from the Vermelles trenches in the grey light of morning, which carried them right through the village of Loos and to the summit of Hill 70 and beâ€" yond this, will rank as one of the most glorious exploits of the British army.
