All stores and depots in the evacuated places were destroyed. The record of so many memorable battles successfully fought by our brave soldiers in two and half years of war is sufficient to assure the Commander-in-Chief that the Army, to whom the country's honour and safety are confided, knows bow to fmifl its duty.

RENEWED ACTIVITY, ON WESTERN FRONT.

London, October 28.

A French communique says: Wo continued to make pre- gross in Belgium on our left. In the peninsula of Laighem we captured some small islands. We have taken prisoner since yesterday over 2,000.

Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports: We improved our positions slightly during the night in the neighbourhood of the Ypres-Roulers railway. The Belgians on Friday night. made a successful raid northward of Dixmude, taking pris ober 16, and yesterday, jointly with the French, crossed inundations and occupied the Merckem peninsula in the neighbourhood of Vijfhuizen.

The Admiralty reports: The Naval Air service on Friday night bombed Lichtervelde railway junction, direct hits causing a beavy explosion and numerous smaller explosions. They also bombed Thourout railway junction, bombs falling near a moving train which immediately stopped. A largo explosion was observed. They also, bombed Cortemarck .junction.

PETROGRAD TO BE STUBBORNLY DEFENDED.

Petrograd, October 25.

The Workmen's and Soldiers' Council has revised its instructions to M. Skobeleff, its delegate to the Paris Con- ference, recognising them as unsatisfactory,

The Preliminary Parliament has approved the declara tion of M. Kerensky that the Government will defend Petro- grad with the utmost vigour and remain in the Capital to the last moment.

THE ANGLO-DUTCH DIFFERENCE.-

The Hague, October 28, The British Legation in a statement regarding the sand and gravel imported into Belgium via Holland from let January to 31st August says: As regards sand it is impossibl to establish whether the whole quantity came from Gormany or whether a great portion was of Dutch origin, but from Dutch official figures it appears that great quantities of sand... came from the Netherlands. It is important therennent to say that almost all the sand of Dutch origin which crossed the frontier was destiled fer Ghent, while all gravel and stones went to Antwerp. Obviously on the ground of In- ternational Law it is open to Holland to export as large quantities of these materials to Belgium as she likes. The fact that Dutch aletistics recognise the transit of only a very small quality of sand does not alter anything respect- ing the correctness of the British figures regarding the quan- tilles entering Belgium vin Holland or regarding the strange coincidence that two million tons of gravel and stones and.. a million tons of sand passed the frontier exactly in the proportion necessary for the manufacture of concrete. The question remains why just such a quantity of sand had to go to Ghent

* THE ARMY THAT SAVED BRITAIN,

Loudon, October 28, The approach of the third anniversary of the first Battle of Ypres on 31st Oct. is celebrated by articles dwelling on the deeds of the old army that saved Britain and the Empire and altered the whole course of the war.

Lord French, in a message to the "Observer," sayı:— "The universal recognition by their countrymen' of the deeds performed by the old army of, 1914 is worthily and justly bestowed. It was the obstinate tenacity, superb spirit and refusal to acknowledge defeat which ever animated the' British soldier that saw the country through those desperate hours on the 21st October and Ipt November, 1014. It wa the man in the trench who saved the Empire"

Lord French visits his old regiment, the Irish Guards, on 31 Oct to recall the great deads then performed. He agrees with a suggestion that the aist Out should be ze garded ne a day of national celebration and thanksgiving. though it may be impossible to arrange such a 'celebration before the end of the war.
