GERMAN AGENTS IN BRITAIN.

THREE MORE STEAMERS SUNK.

RAIDS BY ALLIED AIRMEN,

BOMBS DROPPED ON SUBMARINES.

The British Admiralty has obtained conclusive proof that German agents are fomenting strikes in Britain, particularly in Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol, and Birkenhead. Three more merchant ships—two British and one Frenchbare been sunk by German submarines. Seventeen of the crew of the French steamer are missing. An oil-laden vessel was captured and brought to Newhaven on suspicion of supplying a submarine with oil. The captain was unable to produce his papers, and the crew were mostly Germans. The Rotterdam correspondent of the London Evening News reports that more reserves have been called out in Holland, and that soldiers on holiday have been recalled. Goods traffic between Holland and Germany, he says, has practically ceased. Reports of stubborn fighting in the Argonne region arc issued from Paris. The allies have occupied a village to the west of the Bois le Petre, and elsewhere have repulsed violent counter-attacks. Some outpost fighting on the German frontier, east of Nancy, was in favour of the allies. Allied airmen have executed a number of successful raids in France and Flanders, dropping bombs on the enemy's bivouacs and on the German avaiation camp at Gits. Hoboken, four miles south of Antwerp, where a number of German submarines are under construction, has also been the scene of a raid, which is reported to have been successful.
