Activity on British Front

[Beater's Service to The "Telegraph."}

March 20, 1.30 a.m. General Sir Douglas Haig reports artillery activity at Arras and Armentieres. At Wytschsete there were Gumerous serial combats in which we were succesful in driving off all attacks.

GERMAN COMMENT ON VON TIRPITZ RESIGNATION.

March 18, 125 p.m.

The German papers freely discuss the resignation of Admiral van Tirpitz, which they ascribe to Herr Ballin, declaring that the latter warned the Kaiser that the continuance of frightfulness will mean the seizure of all German vessels in neutral ports and will finally alienate South America. Count Reventlow admits that the resignation is so staggering that he is unable to discuss it.

The semi-cficial Cologne Gazette admits it is difficult for Ger- mans ant to be anticas in this serious crisis, since its origin cannot be publicly discussed, and declares that the idea of the resignation meaning a cessation of submarine warfare is quite unfounded. It concludes with a warning of the evils resulting from public opinion trying to influence military operations
