in this war have been fought Of late.
there have been engagements in all
the areas from Asiatic Turkey to the
English channel, in which the losses
in men and material probably have
been greater IN the aggregate than

days Of the week cost them 10000
men. to which must be added the
losses suffered in their repeated at.
tacks on the Russian entertainments

troops through Belgium TO Ypres and
La Bassee. where earlier in the win

way through to the coast Knowing,
as they must. that the Anglo-French
armies have been greatly strength
eued since then, they themselves
must have increased their striking
power
The allies. however, are confident
Of their ability to hold their present
lines and move forward when all
Preparations are completed.
