THE OMINECA MINER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1917

THE MINER WAR BULLETINS |

( MONDAY, JAN. 29 BD

London: In a successful oper-
ation on the Somme front, in the
neighborhood of Le Transloy, all
objectives and a commanding
portion of the enemy’s trenches
were captured. Over 350 prison-
ers and six officers were taken.
Vigorous counter-attacks by the
Germans to regain the ground
were defeated with heavy losses
to the enemy. Our planes did
much useful work. Two enemy
machines were destroyed and
another forced to land. Two of
our machines are missing,

Many German soldiers are an-
xious to be taken prisoners of
war, They say they do not like
the’ war any more,

It is reported Germany intends
toissue a statement having refer-
ence to Wilson’s senate speech.
The nature of the statement is
not yet known, |

There was no uncertainty as
to how England viewed Wilson's
peace speech. The streets flared
with newspaper bjlls protesting
against the president’s sugges-
tions. Even those who have
suffered most are determined that
victory must be won before peace
will be considered. ;

Paris: There was spirited ar-
tillery action on the left bank of
the Meuse, in the region of Hill
304 and Deadman Hill and on the
tight bank in the seetors of
Louvemont and Bois Caurrieres,

In Lorraine ovr batteries des-
tructively shelled German organ-
izations in Parroy forest.’ The
remainder of the front was quiet,

On the Belgian front there
was a great artillery action in
the region of Dixmude during

night and day.

-  Bratiano, the Roumanian pre-
mier,in Petrograd for conference
with the Russian authorities,
says he is glad to find in Russia
the same feeling of unshakable
faith in the outeome of the war,
as in the beginning. The Rov
manians will soon be reformed
and with the aid of Russia will
drive the enemy from their terri-
tory. The war booty fallen into
German hands has been greatly
exaggerated, It. will not i improve
the economic ‘situation in Ger-
many. The ‘Roumanian army
lost one-fourth, its atrength.

bloodless affair. It took the
British only four minutes to cross
No-man’s-land, They found the
Huns at breakfast, and it was

British were also engaged in
trying to keep warm. Six offivers
and 352 men of picked regiments
were captured.
