BERLIN, 24th _November_ (official, noon to-day).--British vessels arrived yesterday off the French coast and bombarded Lombartzyde and Zeebrugge. Among our troops they caused only very slight damage. A certain number of Belgian citizens, on the other hand, were killed and wounded. THE GERMAN MILITARY GOVERNMENT. BERLIN, 28th _December_ (official telegram, noon to-day).--Near Nieuport the enemy renewed his attempted attacks without success. In these he was supported by firing from the sea, which however did us no harm, but killed or wounded some inhabitants. THE GERMAN MILITARY GOVERNMENT. BERLIN, 26th _January_ (official telegram, noon to-day).--The enemy yesterday fired as usual on Middelkerke and Westende. A considerable number of inhabitants were killed or wounded by this fire, among them the burgomaster of Middelkerke. Our losses yesterday were very insignificant. THE GERMAN MILITARY GOVERNMENT. BERLIN, 13th _February_ (official telegram).--Along the coast enemy aviators yesterday again dropped bombs, which did very considerable damage among the civil population, while we suffered no appreciable damage from a military point of view. THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT IN BELGIUM. BERLIN, 8th _March_ (official telegram, noon to-day).--Enemy aviators dropped bombs on Ostend, which killed three Belgians. THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT IN BELGIUM. They therefore fully appreciate the advantage to be derived from retaining on the coast a population which serves as a living buckler. _Belgians imprisoned in the Lofts of the Ministries._ At Brussels they behaved in a similar fashion in order to prevent the Allied aviators from bombarding the premises which they occupy in the Ministries. Inhabitants of Brussels are sent to the _Kommandantur_ on the most impossible pretexts. They first remain for several days shut up in the lofts of the Ministries. Then, after trial--and, obviously, sentence--they are again confined in the lofts until there is room for them in the ordinary prisons. Every one in Brussels knows this, and of course the Allied aviators are aware of it.
