A GERMAN COMMUNIQUE
(Received Jan. 26, 9.15 p.m.) Amsterdam, Jan. 26. A German communique states:—Our artillery strongly shelled enemy positions in Flanders and shattered their trenches, causing heavy losses. We destroyed the tower of Nieuport Cathedral, which afforded the enemy a good observation post. East of Neuville, after successful mine explosions, we attacked the French advanced trenches, and captured three machine guns and a hundred prisoners.
