TRIPLE RAID SOUTH-EAST OF YPRES.
LONDON, January 11. Sir Douglas Haig reports:—London and rifle regiments successfully raided, at three points, trenches south-east of Ypres, inflicting many casualties and taking a few prisoners. The enemy's artillery has been active in the neighbourhood of Bullecourt, Lens, and Ypres. Our aeroplanes on Wednesday bombed enemy billets and hutments, and used their machine-guns against troops in their trenches at a low altitude. Six enemy machines were brought down. Three of ours are missing, two of which collided over the enemy's lines. (A. and N.Z. and Reuter.) M. Marcel Hutin, writing in the "Echo de Paris," states that General yon Woyrsch, who has just been created a field marshal, will command the German offensive, which will commence when the weather r-ermits.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
