bearing on the situation. are ill pro-
gress lil the war areas ill Europe and
Asia.
The Turks have occupied the Per-
sian town of Tabriz. wliicli is ill the
Russian sphere ol’ illtiueiicc, and are
battling with the Russians iii the
Caucasus and making preparations
for the invasion of Egypt. The Rus-
sians have resumed tlie offensive ill
East Prussia, while the Germans coil-
tliiue to attack in Poland and they
are again trying to cross the Nlda
I`tiver, in Southern i’olziiitl, which is
held by Austrians.
The battle, however, crelitillg the
greatest interest is ill the Aisnc Valley
to thc north-east of Soissons, where
the French have been attacking the
German entrenchmelits. They suc-
ceeded ln taking important positions
Friday and `Sliiitla_v. The Germans,
bringing reiiiforcenients. recovered
some of the lost ground, otherwise
uiifuvotlrable weather compelled the
Germans anti Allies to confine their
iigliting to artillery.

East Prussia indicates the freezing of

sible advaiice tlirotlgli the narrow

LONDON. Jan. 13.-According to
French despatclles to the Lontlon
morning papers fifty bombs were
dropped on Dunkirk Sunday by aero-
planes which were cruising over the
town from eleven o'clock in the morn-
ing until nearly four o'clock in the
afternoon. They came front all
directions, ami were niet by a heavy
shrapnel fire. Two of the raiders
were brought dowli, one outside the
town and the other twenty-five miles
away.
ln spite of the long ordeal the
populace tlisplayotl lio_ panic. The
boiilbs int-.ilirlt»tl some of incendiary
type, but littlc niaterial damage was
tlollc. Six persons were killed at
Dunkirk. anti the suburb of Malo. anti
it is reported that several persons
were killed at St Pol and Adinkerke.
but this has not been confirmed. It
appears that the absence ol' a large
liiilnbor of French aeroplaiies from
Dunkirk must have been known to the
Germans.

season of the year are suffering from
