THE OMINECA MINER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1917)

THE MINER WAR BULLETINS

PETTITTE TTT PTT TTT ETT? ts

MONDAY, OCT, 22

London: Germany scored in
a dash into the North Sea on
. Saturday, when two swift and
heavily-armed cruisers slipped
through the cordon and sank two
British destroyers, with nine .out
of twelve convoyed ships.
destroyers were the Strongbow
and Mary Rose. Their officers
and crews, numbering -135, were
all Jost. The merchantmen des-
troved were five Norwegian, three
Swedish and one Danish,

The Huns suffered. little leas
than disaster in the air, four—
probably five—zeppelins, believed
to have been returning from a
raid on England, being brought
down in France by airplane and
anti-aircraft fire,

Zeppelins made a raid on the
east coast and London on Satur-
day, dropping a shower of bombs.
Reports give the number killed
as 27, with 53 injured.

Enemy artillery showed preat
activity yesterday and last even-
ing on the battlefront between
Tower Hamlets and Ypres-Rou-
lers railway. On the Aisne and
Verdun fronts German guns are
most active, but no gains recom-
pense them. Just why they dis-
play sueh persistence at Verdun
puzzles military critics, who re-
gard these offensives as sheer
wastefulness.

London: ‘Local, attacks were
made by British forces yesterday,
on both sides of Ypres-Staden
railway. For five or six days our
artillery has" been exceedingly
active in this sector, indicating a
resumption of Haig’s offensive,
The assault reported today, how-
ever, is specifically identified asa
series of locat-attacks in advance
of a general. offensive blow.

France’s coup in destroying
four raiding zeppelins on Saturday
and crippling two-or three moré
gave powerful impetus today to
_ the demand for the immediate

-assumption. of an aerial offensive
by Great Britain. -The King and
Queen are reported to be m favor
of reprisals.

to the sorely-pressed Russian sea
forces, aided in the remarkable
escape of the Russian fleet from

man navy in Moon Sound. ‘The

sels were in action with the Rus-

{sian ships was containéd-in an

official announcement from Pet-
