NH prominent part in the Eu-

Red Cross society has been
authorized by the war Office to send out
10 Paris thirty surgeons. $50 nurses and

Great Britain's method is a little more
elaborate than that OF Germany. whose
soldiers carry a metal disk bearing a
number which corresponds with a num-
Der at the Berlin war Office. After a
battle numbers, not names, are tele-
graphed and verified. And the effec-
tiveness OF this system may be Judged

One Fourth OF Germans
Thrust Over Frontier,
Says French Courier
From the Courier des Etats-Unis.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The oper-
atoms in Belgium, France,and Alsace-
Lorraine are very favorable to the
French and their allies. The German
offensive in Belgium and northern
France has failed. This is shown more
clearly in yesterdays dispatches,
where the French war office reported
that not only had tie French and their
allies maintained their positions in
Belgium and northern France, but that
they made new progress between Ypres
and Roulers toward the heart of Bel
GUM, where the Germans have SO
many lines of communications. In
spite of the heavy reinforcements re-
ceived by the German army operating
in that corner of Belgium and France,
the advance of the allies has not been
hampered. The strategical movement
inaugurated several weeks ago, with
the idea of turning the German right,
has not been given up because the
Germans originated afterward coun-
ter-outfanking move by way of Ostend
and Newport toward Dunkirk. The
plan of the French general staff still
holds, and we see that it is bringing
good results. No progress has been
made by the Germans since their cross
ing of the User.
Thrown Across Frontier.
Yesterdays French war Office COM
munique has made very clear that the
Germans could not claim any advant-
age in the western end of the western
theater of operations 1t said also the
same thing about the eastern end of the
same theater of war. According to
that truthful source of information, the
Germans were thrown back of the
Franco-German frontier, east of Nancy
by a vigorous offensive movement. This
recoil of the German army is very sig
nificant, the more SO that it occurred
at the same time of check in Belgium.
This tends to prove that the Germans
are making superhuman efforts to
break through the French line with all
the reinforcements they can get on one
end, but that this action is most preju-
dicial to the other end. With the great
est vigor they hammer at the allies
forces, which task is to prevent a Ger
man advance along the coast with the
hope of relieving the pressure felt on
other parts of the front.
POINTS to the Map.
The allies, fortunately, know how to
deal now with their opponents. They
are aware that the more they lengthen
the fighting the more they grow
stronger because of the resources in
men they can rely upon. They are
! fighting with unequaled stubborness,
for they know the Germans go or
weakening while the allies reinforce
ments are almost inexhaustible.
The easiest way to judge of the pro-
gress made tv the allies is to look at
the map. Everybody will see that at
least a quarter of the front is stretch
ing itself outside of France, the greater
part of it being on Austrian and Lor-
raine territory.
This is Of good omen and forecasts
the near evacuation of French territory
by the Germans.
