gave up their hopeless counter-at-
tacks against the newly won British
position in the Passchenale ridge
sector early today. Field Marshal
Haig reported The British were LETT

| London, Oct. 5.--Thousands OF
prisoners have been taken by the
British in the new drive against the
Germans which was begun yester-
day morning east of Ipres IN tland-
t.rS. All the objectives OF the British
were won, including positions char
acterized by Field Marshal Haig's
report from headquarters last night
as of great Importance"
EVERYWHERE the British have done
splendidIy in one Of the most pre-
tentious offensives attempted on this
front. The attack was launched un-
der heavy clouds and with mist
following a night drizzle.
An unusual feature of the battle
was that near Ionnebeke three Ger
man divisions which had been or
dered to retake positions captured
bv the British last week were caught
in the British barrage as they were
preparing to advance and thousands
were slaughtered. and thousands
taken prisoners.
The British casualties have been
exceedingly light.
Washington. Oct. 5.--American
Army officers have been watching
with intense interest the situation
on the western front. which appaf-
entity is reaching climax IN the
great drive launched yesterday hy
the British.
From the many reports lndlcat-
