LIGHT ON THE SITUATION.

"FRONT OF CROWN PRINCE RUPPRECHT.--At night the firing

engagement slackened but little, and near Hellwerden it

again rose to very great intensity."--_Admiralty, per

Wireless Press, July 26th_.

Readers who shared the doubt of _The Times_ as to the existence of

"Hellwerden" (which doesn't appear in the maps) will be interested

to learn from one of our correspondents, who knows it well, that it

exists all right, but is only visible in the very early morning. _The

Times_ of July 28th bears out this statement.

Our correspondent adds the information that "Hellwerden" is sometimes

spelt Morgendämmerung.
