AMERICA AND GERMANY

The third big battle for Ypres—one of the fiercest, if not tho fiercest, of the whole war—is described in’ this morning’s messages. Some glorious and terrible feats were enacted. The Allies’ line was actually pierced in two places, and there was terrible carnage on both sides, but the road to the coast is still forbidden to the Germans. Engagements continue with extreme violence. There are further accounts of desperate fighting in the Dardanelles, where the British troops, no less than the Australians and’ New Zealanders, have crowned themselves with laurels. The United States has addressed an emphatic Note to Germany concerning the Lusitania outrage, not unlikely to lead to war. Wild scenes are recorded in various parts of England as a result of the presence. of obnoxious Huns. Viscount Bryce’s report bn. tho German atrocities in Belgium affords conclusive proof of the savage nature of the Huns’ crimes in that stricken country.' ■ ' ■’• ‘.. ” : t ;
