IMPORTANT POSITIONS HELD

HEAVY AUSTRIAN LOSSES

DIABOLICAL SEA CRIME

LOSS OF HOSPITAL SHIP ' EVOKES DEEP ANGER

Still do move in tho West. In spito of tho Allies' pin-pricking at. tacks, which in normal circumstances would have goaded the Hun into action, there is no sign. General Maurice, in tho "Daily Chronicle," diecusses the present Allied air offensives into Germany, and mentions the risk of developing theso enterprises to tho detriment of the air service along thobattlefront. The Italians htvvo again scored in the mountain sector, capturing positions in the region of the Asiago- Plateau, and taking many prisoners and much booty. Thorp is no important development in tho Russian situation. Tho Bolsheviki, annoyed at the escape of the Grand Dulto Michael, threaten to dieposo of the Romanoffs finally and for all time. Public anger over the latest Hun sea crime, the sinking of the Canadian hospital ship, is rising to a dangerous pitch in Eng-» land,' recalling the scenes which followed tho I/usitania crime, when the , mob wrecked the alien quarter of London. Aftea , a thorough search of tho neighbourhood of the tragedy, the Navy reports that the other boats must be presumed to have been lost.
