report covers in a general way the

Last Stages Of Battle.
Summing UP the situation in his
report, Field Marshal French SAYS:
"As I close this dispatch signs are III
evidence that we are possibly in the
last stages Of the battle from Ypres to
Armentieres. For several days past
the artillery fire Of the enemy has
~slackened considerably and his in
fantry attacks have practically ceased.

military situation of the Allies, as it
appears to me at the present moment"
General French continues, 1T does not
seem to be clearly understood that
the operations in which we have been
engaged embrace nearly all Of the
central part of the continent of Eu-
rope from the east to the west. The
combined French, Belgian and British
armies in the west, and the Russian
army in the east, are opposed to the

Germans Throw Weight in West.
"Our enemies elected at the begin
ming of the war to throw the weight
OF their forces against our armies in
the west and to detach only a COM
paratively weak force composed Of
very few Of the first line troops and
several corps Of second and third line
troops to stem the Russian advance
until the western forces could be COM
pletely defeated and overwhelmed.
Their strength enabled them from the
outset to throw greatly superior forces
against us in the west. This precludes
the possibility Of our taking vigorous
offensive action except when miscalcu-
and mistakes are made by their
commanders, opening UP special op-
portunities for successful attacks and
pursuits.
