international News Seryice.)

General Headquarters, West Front.
by Courier to Metz, Aug. IL. via Ber-
lin and Sayville, Aug. 16.-HistOTy
viii describe the site of the wedge
which the English and French are
attempting to drive into the German
crescent on the Somme as the Ossu-
ary of Europe.
The critical stage of this gigantic
operation has now definitely passed.
The climax was reached Monday and
Tuesday, August and s, when the
thIrd of the trio of colossal mass at
uacks by the English and French was
launched against the German stone
wall. Their objective was a position
less than thirty miles long. This may
seem an extensive battle line, but in
fact is the shortest fighting front in
modern history. considering the num-
Der Of men and the power of the en-
gines of death engaged.
Never before have such colossal in
struments of homicide and such in
numerab BILE prospective victims been
assembled. The observations of the
correspondent more than fully verify
the common impression that this six
weeks fighting has been the most
sanguine and most fatal of the whole
war.
1t is true that up to the present
time the entente forces have OUtnum-
bered the Germans holding the de-
fense lines in the absolutely unpre-
cedented proportion of ten to one.
