The only movement of interest in the British line in

Flanders during the week has been a small and successful night raid near Verlorenhoek. On the Tigris, however, there has been a certain amount of activity. Thursday's papers contain a report from General Lake, which states that on March 10th information was received by the Tigris Corps that the Turks had occupied an advanced position on the Tigris, and that on the 11th a column was sent before dawn to turn these Turks out. This having been accomplished with the bayonet and a considerable number of Turks having been killed, the column withdrew, taking with them two officers and fifty men as prisoners.
