Headquarters, Nov. 10.
Our offensive near Ypres yesterday made further slow progress. More than five hundred English and coloured French soldiers have been taken prisoners, several machine guns have been' captured. We have gained ground also fur ther south. Strong English counter-attacks have been repulsed.
We have made good progress in the Argonne forest and have easily repulsed the enemy's attacks.
Our cavalry has routed, near Kanin in Russian Poland, a Russian "Deutache Tageszeitung" invites America to send cotton ships to Germany, as no effective British blockade existe, and the German coast is not blocked by mines. The British would acquiesce in a breaking of the North Sea blockade by American ships!
The " Vovoye Vremya" reports that the Japanese Government is demanding from China s concession of a railway from Tsinanfu to the Yangtes.
It is reported from Sofia, that the majority of the inhabitants of Odessa have left the town and fled into the interior. Riots of workmen have broken out in the South the bravery and endurance of the German troops during the two months' siege. It states that the surrender could not be interpreted as a defeat, while, on the other hand, Tsingtao is Chinese territory which is leased to Germany, it will be shameful for Chinese to gratulate the Japanese troops on the capture of Tsingtao. The paper states that the most satisfactory thing was the saving of unnecessary carnage.
