The French success at Eparges is the most important development in the recent operation. It relieves the pressure on Verdun and simultaneously threatens the retreat of the German forces still clinging desperately to St. Mihial.

We made fresh progress between the Mouse and the Mosele, and gained more ground at Les Eparges, where we remodel led the German trenches, which were ohoked with dead; we turned the parapets round, and repulsed two counter-attacks. We took six machine-guns, and two mortars at Bois d'Aills. The enemy made Bo counter-attack.

We maintained all our progress in the Mont Mare wood, despite a most violent night counter-attack.

SUBMARINE- OUTMANŒUVRED.

BLUE FUNNEL LINER CHASED FOR 57 MILES

LONDON, April 5th.

1.40 p.m.

The Blus Funnel liner Thesaus, bound fot Java, has arrived at Gibraltar, and reports an exciting experience with a submarins wheu eouth-west of Bishop's Rock (Scilly Isles),

The submarine was sighted at 7 o'clock on the morning of March 29th two miles away. The Theseus went full steaua shead, but the submarine overhauled hor and signalled her to stop at once. The Theseus ignored the order, whereupon the Submarine opened fire, first with a machine-gun and later with a three inchor. The submarine continually endeavoured to get into a favourable position to fro a torpedo, but cach time the Theseus out- manmuvred her. The submarine finally abandoned the chase, which had continued for fifty-seven miles, at 10.30 am, when there were only three hundred yards - between the ships.

The Theseus was damaged, by bursting shells, but nobody on board was hurt.

THE CHASE OF THE "GOEBEN" AND "BRESLAU.”: CAPTAIN OF THE" GLOUCESTER

HONOURED.

LONDON, April th 0.50 p.m.

The Press Bureau announces that a Companionship of the Order of the Bath has been conferred on Captain Kelly, R.N., for chasing the Goeben and the Breslau on August 6th and 7th.

The Goeber could have turned and sunk H.M.S. Gloucester, the ship commanded by Captain Kelly, at any time, but appar ently he was deferred by the Gloucester's boldness, which gave the impression that support was close at hand. Mon

The Press Burcau slates that this com bination of audacity, restraint and un swerving attention to the principal military object of holding on to the Geeben without tempting her too much and which was in strict conformity with orders, constitute a naval-episode which may justly be regarded as a model..

A SPLENDID EXAMPLE. WOUNDED COMMANDER'S DEVOTION TO DUTY:

The Victoria Cross has been conferred

on Nava Commander E. P. Ritchie for most conspicuous bravery in com manding the searching and demolition operations at Dar es Salaam, Although severely wounded, he continued bin duty, inspiring others by his example, until the eighth wound rendered him unconscious, D.
