There were some warships in the harbor at the time of the attack. and these un- doubtedly were the object of the submarinos’ visit. About 100 rounds were fired by the eastern pier batteries during the operafi tions. The gunners claim to have sunk one submarine and to have hit others. Men on ships in the‘ neiglhbonhood of the attack say that at least three submarines were hit. The night was very dark and a? heavy rain and haze made seuarrchfi work difficult.

The order says that_ new in- structions are necessary because the lessons of the War (lo not agree with the instructions given in peace and because Germany’s. industry, working at its maximum, cannot provide the army with munitions inâ€" definitely.

Oi'or 2,000,000 Have Been Driven From Poland. *~ A despatch from New York says: Approximately 2,000,000 Jews have been driven fnom their homes in Russian Poland, according to a. cabl'egram from the Petrognaad office of the Jewish Colonization Associa- tion, made public here on Wednes- day by the American Jewish Relief Committee. The message, in part, read as follows: “The Jews of all Russia-n Poland and the greater part of the Jews in the Provinces of Ko‘vno, Vilniav, Grodno, Volyni, Pe- dolia, a-nd Besslararbia, are suffering. The number of refugees and'deusti- tube approximates 2,000,000. Exâ€" tleme distress also prevails among the Jews in the. Galician provinces occupied by the Russian armies” A despatch from Paris says: No other conclusion can be drawn from the detailed report made public by the French Government Saturday than that the allies have gained the upper hand all along the western battle line from the Norvtlh Sea. to Alsace. Day after day they have increased the pressure on the Gerâ€" man po-sitioli.s, and little by little the Germans have given ground, now at one point, now at another ; so that now there is more definite reason to believe that the Germans are on the verge of withdrawing from Flanders and surrendering the bitterly contested area, in Northern] France than there has been at any time in the 18 weeks of the war. The superiority of the allies in ar- tillery and infantry, so positiver [asserted by recent official reports, was again made manifest when the French and British dealt staggering blows to the German forces in Flan- ders, in Arltoi-s, between the Oivse and the Aisne, land in the Alrgon-ne.
