Mayo held that effective treatment Of

and that courageous treatment early

Surgical science, he said, had borne
blame unjustly for many fatalities be-

LONDON, Oct. 2-The official bureau

headquarters OF Gen. Sir John French.
1t is as follows:
The general situation as Viewed on

the task of the army has not changed.
II is to maintain Itself until the gen.

has been gained. Every counter attack
has been repulsed, in certain instances
with severe loss to the enemy. Never

part Of the battle and there has been
considerable improvement In another i'm

THE recent offensive efforts Of the
enemy have been made without cohesion,

cooperation with those on either side Of
