When off Nieuport she was attacked by eight naval machines from Dunkirk. While the First British Army has been dealing the enemy a severe blow to the south of Ypres, the French troops to the north have considerable success. The Times Fund over 1¼ million sterling.

Our First Army makes a successful attack between Richebourg l’Avoué and Festubert, breaking the enemy’s line over the greater part of a two-mile front. The full text of the United States Note to Germany is published to-day. It is a warning against the recurrence of such outrages as the sinking of the Lusitania.
