During the past few days numerous stories have gained circulation about the city re- garding the New Britain soldiers, none of which can be traced to any authentic source but all of which are causing much anxiety to mothers, fathers and friends of the local soldiers. During yesterday alone the War Bureau received 50 telephone calls asking for information concerning the casualties. Inasmuch as the government has made no men- tion of such casualties as are reported or has given out nothing to indicate such things, the War Bureau is at a loss to explain where the stories originate. ! @ 1 | it 1s espectea - OFFENSIVE ONMILE FRONT BY GERMANS BLOCKED BY BRITISH| At dawn this morn Portugue troops cessfully ra ed German trenches in this nei | borhood and captured several pris & | 9.—After a bom- nounces.
