EAST AFRICAN GERMANS.

WESTERN OVERTHROW

ACHIEVED BY FRENCHMEN.

MESOPOTAMIAN ADVANCE.

EUPHRATES COURSE.

STUBBORN RUSSIANS.

MANY MORE CAPTIVES.

A terrific onslaught launched by the enemy in the Huntebise-Craonne-Yauclerc region was met by the French in undaunted fashion and ended in a sanguinary overthrow of the attackers, who made mortal sacrifices of a stupendous character in rain. The extreme plight of Belgian women and children in their own land is recorded per cable to.day. Hunger privations are so acute that the little ones are dying from want of nourishment, and life generally is becoming an impossibility through the inhuman neglect of the Hun invaders, iActive hostilities in Mesopotamia are again reported, in an official message. The Allied troops in the lArmadieh region came into conflict with a large body of Turks, the latter being severely chastised. An advance of the former forces for twelve miles up the Euphrates River Iβ recorded. Though the Russians in Galicia are meeting with occasional checks to their gneat northern thrusi towards Lemberg they are still accomplishing important victories. Novica is now partially occupied by them, the operation resulting in the loss to the enemy of a futrher lan*© number of men, estimated at over 2000. From the nature of an official communication bearing on the campaign in German East .Africa, it is evident that a huge surrounding movement conducted by the Union and Portuguese forces is being car. ried through with striking success. It extends from Eilwa on the coast to far inland points, and involves enormous difficulties due to dense, intervening forests, but the entire enemy force is being rapidly cornered.
