WAR CONDITIONS
SYNOPSIS OF PROGRESS PRE-
PARED BY THE AMERICAN
PRESS ASSOCIATION.

New York, Nov. Especial:
Soldiers fighting in the trenches
knee deep in water and swept by
driving rains is the story which still
comes u of West Flanders, but not
withstanding the terrible conditions
of the battlefield the German troops
and the allied forces still hammer at
each other with shot and shell.
That serious encounters have taxi
en- place along the User canal is in
dicated in the French official an
nouncement that the Germans have
and that the left bank, a small sec
ton of which the Germans had held
for several days, had been complete
ly evacuated. Also to the south OF
Ypres the allies have been success
full in repulsing a further offensive
movement. All this has been accom-
plished, says the French general staff
with heavy losses to the Germans.
On the other hand, Berlin general
headquarters notes a slight progress
on the right wing and claims the cap
ture of several hundred French and
British in a preliminary encounter
and the taking of a strong french
position of support in the forest of
| Argonne.
Another proof of the severity oi
the fighting which has been going on
in the section where the British
forces are e~ntrenched is given in tn
| casualty lists of Nov. 4, 6 and 7
which have just been published j
London, showing the loss of fifty-six
British officers killed, 10S wounded
and forty-seven missing.
The German emperor, whose move
| ments of late have, so far as the va
| rious reports were concerned, been
somewhat elusive, appeared on Fri
| day at holman, forty miles south
| west of Strassburg, according to a
| dispatch from Basl. 1t vas to this
point that the emperor proceeded at
the commencement of the war and
| since then he has spent his time al
ternately in the eastern and western
theaters.
P~etrograd continues to report sue
cesses in eastern Prussia along the

river Save are making progress.
While the Turkish troops are re

vince of A%zerbajan. defeating tn,
Russians, an official statement from
the British admiralty announces sue
cessful operations against the Turk
