Abolition of all but two of the naval

Describes Crushing of Famous Prus-

on Ypres.

LONDON, November 3o.-Field Mar
shall Sir John French. commander-in-
chief of the British forces in the field
speaks in an optimistic vein concerning
the position of the allies in a report is
sued by the official press bureau. The
report covers in general way the &C
tivities OF the British troops from Oc-
tober IL to November 20.
Summing up the situation, in con-
Guiding his report, Field Marshal
French says:
LAS close this dispatch. signs are in
evidence that we are possibly in the
last stages of the battle from Ypres
to Armentieres. For several days past
the artillery fire of the enemy has
slackened considerably and his infantry
attacks have practically ceased.
I'm remarsing upon the general mill
tary situation of the allies. as it ap-
pears to me at the present moment"
Gen. French continues. 'it does not
seem to be clearly understood that the
operations in which we have been en-
gagged embrace nearly all of the cen
trail part of Europe, in the east to the
west. The combined French, Belgian
and British armies in the west and the
Russian army in the east are opposed
to the united forces of Germany and
Austria, acting as combined armies be-
tween us.
Our enemies elected at the COM
mencement of the war to throw the
weight of their forces against our ar
mics in the west and to detach only
comparatively weak force, composed
of very few of the first line troops and
several corps of second and third line
until the western forces could be COM
pletely defeated and overwhelmed.
Their strength enabled them from the
outset to throw greatly superior forces
against US in the west. This precludes
the possibility of our taking vigorous
offensive action except when miScalcu-
iations and mistakes are made by their
commanders. opening UP. special OPP

1.-THE battle of the Marine was an ex-
ample of this. as was also our advance
from ST. Omer and Hazebrouck to the
line Of the river Lys at the commence
ment of this battle. The role which our
armies in the west consequently have
been called upon to fulfill has been to

the German reinforcements. which
might enable them to flank the allies.
The shattered Belgian army and the
worn French troops endeavors to check
the German reinforcements were pow
erless. so Gen. French sent fresh troops
to prevent the enemy executing move
ments which would have given him &C
cess to channel ports.
Sir Douglas Haig, with the list Army
Corps, was sent October 10. to capture
Bruges and drive the enemy back to-
ward Client, if possible. Meantime the
Belgians intrenched themselves along
the Ypres canal. Gen. French COM

was fraught with much consequence to
the allies.
Praises Indian Troops.
After referring to some of the battles
in which the Indian troops took part.
Field Marshal French says:
Since their arrival in this country
and their occupation of the line allotted
to them have been much impressed by
the initiative and resource DISPLAYED
by the Indian troops. Some Of the
ruses they have employed to deceive
the enemy have been attended with tie
best results and have doubtless kent
the superior forces in front of them at
bay
Our Indian sappers and miners have
long enjoyed a high reputation for
detail l can confidently assert that
throughout their work in this cam
paign they have fully justified their
reputation.
The general officer commanding the
indian army describes the conduct and
bearing of these troops in strange and
new surroundings to have been highly
satisfactory, and I am enabled from my
own observations to fully corroborate
this statement"
the whole line continued to be heavily
pressed. the enemy's principal efforts
from November 1 had been concen-
trated upon breaking through the line
held by the LIST British and the 9Th
French Corps. and thus gaining posses
sion of the town of Ypres. Three Ba-
varian and one German corps, in addi-
ton to other troops, were ali directed
against this northern line, according to
Gen. French.

Prussian Guard Defeated.

Documents found on dead officers, the
report says, proved that the guard re-
ceived the German Emperor's special
command to break through and sue

had failed.

vigorous attacks made against the cen
