brief talk outlining his particular pro-
gram for the week, which will consist
|of readings from Riley, Van Dyke,

London The great offensive Of the
second British forces against both
sides OF the elbow joint on the German
positions on the western front had not
slackened Tuesday. but General

The British official statement told
briefly OF heavy losses inflicted ON the
Germans northwest of Hulluch, where
heavy German counter attacks were
