rain poured into our trenches and the cold nip of the approaching wintry frost permeated the air.On and on the German infantry crept, and this time they were not in close formation.The German guns thundered, but their shells were falling wide of the trenches.The English officers prepared to give them a warm reception.They ordered .their men to Df evacuate some of the trenches, but ! the men were not leaving their trenches because retreat was necessary.At six thirty the first rifle shots rang out from a number of British trenches.artillery duel and infantry attacks, which formerly were of so frequent occurrences, have decreased.This, doubtless, is due to the inability of the infantry on either side to operate successfully over the muddy ground, and also because of the extended area which the Allies have flooded between the coast and Dirmude.MORE BIG GUNS.While they are moving men eastward to oppose the Russians, the Germans are reported to be bringing more big guns to the western front, | having determined to carry out a big | gun bombardment of the Allies\u2019 entrenchments.BOTH CLAIM VICTORY.Russian and Turkish squadrons have met in a long-distance duel ofi Bebas- had 11 m Sfl \u201cIn front of Ramseapelle we have withdrawn from the water two 16.5 ! both Hanks.Almost within ten.min-centimeter mortars abandoned.by the Germans.There has been a fairly intense artillery fire to the South of FOE\u2019S LINES SHATTERED ' topol, and both claim to have Tire Germans were dangerously close ! ^ ^\tvihelormer' | and had met no opposition except :\t,,\t1 from the British shell fire.When they.\t1°! reached the evacuated trenches they .were cut down to a man bv a terrific hail of bullets from the woods on £ WANT MR VILAS FOR CABINET E* T.Claim to Resident Representation Emphatic, Say Sutton People ;
