Despatches from Ostend state that a large body of troops was landed from transports at that place, and it is evident that these were the troops referred to. by the passengers on the Mauretania.

This is de- clared to have been done in viola- tion of China‘s neutrality. The German Legation has protested to the Foreign Office against an in- fringement of China’s neutrality by Japan. The protest followed the landing of a Japanese. division at the newly-opened Chinese port of miles north of Tsing-Tau.

The list con~ tains the names of men familiar throughout tlhe United . Kingdom both through their military prows ess and their social standing. Vii’x~ tually all the crack regiments are affected. Among the killed are Robert Cornwallis Maude, sixth Viscount gawarden, a lieutenant in the oldstream Guards, and Major Victor Reginald Brooke, military secretarv of the Viceroy of India. KILLEDâ€"36 officers and 127 men. VVOUNDEDâ€"57 officers and 629 men. MISSINGâ€"95 officers and 4,183 men. Among the officers missing are Lieutâ€"‘Col. A. W. Albercrombie, of the Connaught Rangers; Lieut- 001. D. C. Boger, of the Cheshire Regiment; Col. 0. F. Stevens, of the Royal Artillery; and Col. H. M. Thompson. of the medical corps. l l The percentage of casualties to the oflieers is high, a mute tribute to their heroism. It is carefully ex- plained that this is only a partial report and that it does not deal with the recent fighting. The re- Dort comes from General French. Speaking generally, a cavalry ‘bi‘l~ gade contains 300 men while “three divisions less one infantrv bri- gade” would be 41,000 menâ€"a to- tal of 41,800. The loss was accordâ€" ingly about 12 per cent. At Paar- dexberg the British loss was 8 per cent. . Further reports of British casual- ties are expected with little delay. As regards the men, as distingâ€" uished from officers, it is known that a considerable proportion of the missing were wounded men who had been sent down country. and of whom particulars were not avail- able .at headquarters. In the missing are. included those who have not been accounted for, and the list of missmg may com- prise prisoners not wounded and stragglers as well as casualties. “SASTER Germans Must Continue, Even Though Annihila- tion Awaits Them A despatch from London says: A correspondent of the Daily Chroniâ€" cle telegraphs: “The Germans undoubtedly are at an unsafe distance from their iiiiiiiiii Referring to the appalling losses of the.

A despateh from Nish, Servia, says: An official statement, issued on Wednesday. gives new and fuller details of the battle of Jedar. The Austrian force, it says. was com- posed of 200,000 men and held a. fa.- voraible position. By its retreat it admitted defeat. The Austrians left on the field of battle 10,000 ldead and more than 2,000 wounded. “Altogether,” continues the state- ment, "40,000 of the enemy were placed hers de combat. We have sent to the interior more than 4,000 men whom we took prisoners, and have captured 60 guns. much am» munition, the material for the construction of a GODâ€"metre bridge and a train. The battle was of great importance because it. was de- cisive. The enemy retreated to Santzek.” ..___.._...>X¢ WATCH NEW YORK HARBOR. British (‘i'uiscr Remains Near seiiger Steamers Sail. A despateh from New York says: The hawkâ€"like watch which British cruisers have maintained on New York harbor was continued on Wednesday. Every vessel entering port within the past 48 hours has sighted the lowâ€"lying. grey figure of one of the British cruisers. The White Star liner Olympic sailed Wednesday morning bound for Liv- erpool, and the American liner St. Paul and the Red Star liner Vaderâ€" land were due to said later in the day. The Olympic and St. Paul booked less than 300 passengers be tween them: the Vadei‘laud had none. The latter had been in port- since the war began.

The position of the allies is well maintained. “There are indications that a German movement is developing in an eastward and south-eastward direction.” 'Ilhe following official announce- ment was made by the Paris Miliâ€" tary Government: “The movements of the opposed armies outside Paris continue with- out any attempt having been made to-day by the enemy against our various positions. ’ ’ Earlier in the day this statement was issued by the French Military Government, referring to the situa- tion on the previous day: “Around Paris the movements of the opposing armies continued with- out a decisive battle. “In the northâ€"east, in the region of Verdun, the German forces have suffered some checks. “In Lorraine and the Vosges our troops report new partial success» 7: GS . deaux Sent the following communi? cation to the Press Bureau: “On our left the enemy appears to neglect Paris to pursue its turn-l ing movement.

The Gov‘ ei‘nment issued at midnight Thurs- day, through the Ministry of the Interior, a proclamation bringing this to the knowledge of the people of Paris and giving their reasons for the change. 'llhe significant fea- ture of the proclamation is that Paris is soon to become a, pivot in the manoeuvres between the allied armies and the Germans. For this reason the Government naturally cannot remain here. _..__ux«__._._ CIA I'DE GRAHAME-WHI'ITI ADMIRAL OF THE AIR A despatch from London says: Claude GrahameWhite, the noted aviator. has been appointed a tem- porary flight commander in the Bri- tish navy.
