LONDON, Sept. 27.-The great of fensive of the French and British forces against both sides of the el bow joint of German positions on the western front has not slackencd, but General Joffre, in his afternoon bulletin, reported no new outstand- ing successes. The British official statement told briefly of heavy losses inflicted on the Germans northwest of Hulluch, where heavy German counter-attacks were carried out in the course of the day. Berlin main tains that by means of counter-at- tacks the Allies drives were checked with heavy loss, but as the Germans make no claim to having recovered the ground taken from them, the indica- tions are that the Allied gains of Saturday and Sunday have generally been maintained, at some points i'm proved, and that the fighting has reached the stage of vicious attack and countor-attack which may persist for weeks.
 It is estimated that the prisoners by the Allies during their rush will reach total of more than 25,000, but this is offset to some ex- telf.sy the German claims that near ly 1000 French and British fell into their hands.
