They did not visit the British lines,

but they met a number of British of- ficers who are acting as liaison officers. The morale of the French troops, they said, is magnificent.

In a joint communique issued after they met the French Deputies at M. Herriot's tea, it was stated that the M. P.s of both countries had establish- ed complete identity of views and faith in the victory of the Allies over German Imperialism. Further meet- ings will be arranged in the future.- Reuter.

ALGERIAN HERO NOT IDENTIFIED

London, To-day.

The Royal Air Force is still trying to trace the identity of an Algerian soldier of the French Army, who with great gallantry rescued a British pilot in No Man's Land on the Rhine- Moselle front.

The British pilot was dazed and suffering from burns.

The Algerian went out under fire and brought-him back to safety. Reuter.

This award is made in spite of em- phatic protests from the German Gov- ernment.

Many lost their lives or were in- jured in the explosions. The United States Government recently submitt- ed to the Commission new evidence linking the sabotage with members of the German Imperial Government. --Reuter.

Berlin newspapers. are sharply criticising the United States, de- claring that Washington scarcely attempts to disguise its partiality for the Allies. Reuter.

East London, To-day. Captain Harris, Master of the steamer Clement, stated definite- ly that the Clement was sunk by the pocket battleship Admiral von Scheer, according to an East London mate who recently met Captain Harris at St. Vincent.

He said that Harris declared that he and the Chief Engineer were taken on board the raider, where they could read the poorly- disguised name on the stern.

Harris told him that he was invited onto the bridge of the Admiral von Scheer, where he watched the Clement being sunk by shell-fire, after two torpedoes had missed it.

Subsequently, Harris and the engineer were transferred to a Greek ship. -Reuter.

Copenhagen, To-day. The newspapers report that the City of Flint, American ship seized by the Deutschland and taken to Murmansk, reached Tromsoe at noon yesterday, flying the Swastika flag.

The German prize 'crew, 38 well as the American crew, -- is aboard the liner.

The vessel sailed in the after- noon, being escorted out of har- bour and Norwegian territorial waters by Norwegian warships.- Reuter.

Paris, To-day. Increased activity on the Wes- tern Front coincided with an im- provement in the weather.

Artillery action at numerous Moselle points, between the and the Rhine was begun, with the object of enticing the enemy to reply thus enabl- ing reconnaissance 'planes to locate enemy gun positions.

After the Allied 'planes have been earthbound for a relatively long spell, the Command is doubt- less anxious to send up as many as possible to keep pilots in trim and accustom many who have not yet been under fire to operat ing in war conditions.

The Command is overjoyed at being able to exploit the better weather, for concentra: tions of the greatest strategic importance are taking place on the left bank of the Rhine. Hence, it may be assumed that 'planes the French and British

The aeronautical correspondent of "The Times" says that the pos- sibility that the recent reconnais- flights and lightweight Britain were bombing raids on designed to test the defences in preparation for mass attacks is being considered.

Although the use of great num- bers of machines would increase the problems of defence, it would also increase the problems of attack.

There is the question of whe- ther to approach the objective as or to con- one large formation verge from different directions.

As regards the former, it is al- most impossible to achieve the desired accumulation; except in very good visibility such a group would be extremely unwieldy and fighters could whittle away a fórmation the fringes of such without much risk to themselves. If it was intended to converge a large number of smaller formations, the problem of tim- ing is a delicate one. But con- verging formations is the method most generally favoured.

Mass attacks seem the only way left to the Germans if they wish to penetrate the defences and do real damage. — Reuter.
