GREAT BATTLE Of
MILLIONS OF MEN
IS Still RAGING
NO SIGN OF A TRUCE IN THE
FIERCE STRUGGLE NORTH
OF OlSE.
ALLIES SEEM CONFIDENT
French Familiar with the Territory of
ST. Goud, Giving Them a Decided
Advantage-Report Says Death List
Grows Rapidly.

Paris, Oct. 6-Despite yesterdays S
Ctiicial announcement that the allies
had yielded somewhat, confidence to-
day in the ultimate success of the
French and English in the great ac-
ton on the left wing of the battle
front in northern France has by no
means diminished. Meanwhile without
repose and with no sign of truce,
the tremendous battle of millions OF
men is proceeding
North of the Disc" has appeared
for the first time in war office state
ment. Till now all the cCmbats fought
on the right bank of the Disc riger
nave teen mentioned either in the di-
recuon of Roye or between the SOM
me and the Disc There is much spec
ulatiton on the phase of the fighting
in that vicinity which can have a
greatly varied Importance.
The military critics, among them
Lieut.-CCl Rousset of the Petit Pa
risien, refuse to attach any impor-
tance to the setback or the yielding
OF territory, declaring them to be the
inevitable retreats which can be Off
set by a pre- Cgressive movement.
he familiarity Of the French with
the territory is Cf considerable advan-
tage to them. The marshes of St
Ucnd, near the petit NORM river are
perfectly sClid in the dry season and
the Germans here had made all pre-
paratlons for an important surprise
attack. The night before that was to
occur a heavy rain made the swamp
a regular lake and turned the position
to the disadvantage of the Germans.
The French merely stuck to their DO
sitiCns and while the enemy was in
distress in the soggy ground annihi-
lated a large number with their artil-
lery fire.
The lists of dead printed in the
newspapers are growing. They some
times furnish the only news of the
soldiers since their departure to the
front
The institute of France, an associa-
ton CT the members Of the five
