| London, Nov 2e-The Official press hu-
reau, at the instance OF the war ofice, to-
night gave out a lensthy dispatch from
Field Marshal Gen. Sir John French, in
which the commander of the British ex-
pedItionary force recounts operations Of
his troops through the battle Of Ypres
and Armentieres.
Gen. French says:
early in October a study OF the gen.
eral situation strongly impressed me with
the necessity OF bringing the greatest
possible force to bear in support OF the
northern flank OF the allies in order effect
lively to outhank the enemy and compel
him to evacuate.
warrant the withdrawal OF the British
forces from positions they then held. The
enemy had been weakened by continual
abortive and futile attacks, while the forti-
fication OF our positions was much i'm
proved.
JOnre Agreed to Views.
These views were represented to Gen.
Joffre, who agreed with the plan"
Describing the battle Of Ypres. Gen.
French says:
"I fully realized the dinicuIt task be-
ore US and the onerous role our troops
were called upon to fulfill That success
has been attained and all the enemy's
desperate attempts to break through the
line have been frustrated Is due entirely
to the marvellous fighting power and in
domitable courage and tenacity of our
officers, noncommissioned officers and
men.
mo more arduous task ever has been
assigned to British soldiers in all their
splendid history, and there is no instance
Of their ever having answered so mag
nlhcently to the desperate calls made
upon them by necessity.
"A copy Of an order taken from a cap
tive prisoner. and which purported to
emanate from Gen. Won Beimling. of the
German army, said that the Fifteenth
German Corps. together with the Second
Bavarian and Thirteenth Corps, were
entrusted with the task Of breaking
through the line at Ypres. 1t also showed
that the German Emperor himself con-
sidered the success OF this attack of vital
Importance To the successful issue Of the
war"
Received Special Command.
Since November 1, the principal efforts
Of the enemy. says Gen. French, have
been concentrated upon breaking through
the line held by the First British Corps
and the Ninth French CorpA
Referring to the attacks OF the Prus-
sian Guards. the field marshal stated:
Documents found on the bodies OF the
dead prove that the guard received the
Emperor's special commands to break
through, $but. like their comrades. they
were repulsed with enormous losses.
Throughout this period. Gen. Sir
Douglas Halg. assisted by his divisional
and brigade commanders. held the line
with marvellous tenacity and undaunted
courage.
Il deeply regret the heavy casualties,
but the fighting had been very desperate
and We have been assaulted by vastly
superior numbers throughout the battle.
The casualties of the enemy. however.
were three times those OF the allies"

C. J. Bates q Son Increase Manufac- \ turing Piant-Pians For Two New
 Buildings.

# "A
 c. J. Bates 6 Son have started preparations for extensive alterations at their manufacturing plant in this twon.
 Some IS months ago Messrs. Bates & Son who are extensive manufactur- CTS of manicure goods and instru- ments, purchased the business of Kirschbaum & Bros, manufacturers of fine cutlery. surgical and manicure in. struments. located in New Jersey The firm employs about 40 men. The mat te- of removing the plant to Chester has been under consideration for sev- eral months Now that the matter has been definitely decided upon, 1t has become necessary to accommodate the additional business Plans have been prepared for two separate build ings. the first to be a two-story brick factory. 70x30 feet and the other a one-story building, 2ox25 feet. the latter building to be used excIuslyeiy firm is in hopes to begin active work not later than Aug. 1 and to have it completed by Oct. 1. The firm em- ploys about S5 men at it's factory in this place the year round. Hamilton c. Bates, the, junior member of the firm, in speaking of the change few days ago, said the greatest difficulty anticipated in removing the plant from Newark to Chester was the ques- tion of help. Undoubtedly the firm would be able to induce the most or the employees to remove to Chester. but there would be difficulty in f1nd- ing enough rents to accommodate them. They had, he said, purchased two or three houses recently and were having them made into double tene- ments as far as they could, but they would be unable to provide rents for them all. The firm had been offered some very good Inducements to re- main in Newark.
