 LONDON. sept 2G-After q short period of rest during which the re- gently won German positions in this region were consolidated, the British again launched q tremendous attack against the Germans east and north cast of Ypres this morning.
 Reports reaching the war office say that the new movement was launched at daybreak this morning after the usual short period of tremendous bombardment and has made good progress over the entire line of ad- vance, which is on a front somewhat wider than before.
 owing to the British commander maintaining a steady bombardhent of the German lnes from the Arras sec tor to the Nieuport region during the past few days. the Germans were ap- parently unable to determine where the present blow was to be struck and the first rush of the British this morning was but slightly opposed. Under cover of a heavy barrage the Haig forces found little difficulty in entering the advanced German posi- tions but later progress is being se- verely resisted.
 As in the case of the attack of last week the British airmen are reported

performing heroic service by assist ing the troops and directing the work of the artillery.
 Apparently the new British often sive is aimed at driving in still deep CT the wedge already forced into the German front astride the Ypres-- Menin road and northwest and be- yond the Ypres-Roulers railway line
 This thrust has pushed this wedge approximately a mile further into the territory held by the enemy, where the ground gained was well consoli- dated and held firmly against the desperate German counter attacks.
 The movement today has appar- ently brought the point of this wedge almost directly north of Menin and has almost reached the railroad line extending northward from that city to Roulers.
 A further extension. of the thrust in this direction threatens not only the German positions along the Bel gian coast but also the great French manufacturing city of Lille whose envelopment is the great objective of the Flanders attack.
 The enlargement of the Ypres sal lent is likewise endangoring the northern end of the famous linden berg positions in the Arras region

Campaign Begun
Against Sending
Root to Russia

An international movement among
radicals here ard in Europe has beer
inauguratcd against sending Elihu Root
as head of the American commission tC
Russia. Such a step will injure the ne"
Russia. instead Of helping it, declares
Y. Kerzhentzey, the American corrc-
spondent of the Petrograd daily Den
and OF Maxim Gorky's journals. who is
an intimate associate of the leaders OF
radical Russia.
"President Wilson has blunderej
woofully," said Mr. Kerzhenzev yes
tcrday. ITO send Root to Russia
leans to chsiIenge the powerful rad
cal elements who have won the REQ
luton. The latter will certainly ac-
cord hostile reception to the Amoc-
lean envoy.
Mr.. Root is known in Russia as the
most reactionary American. His repu-
tation as such is established with the
Russian working classes He is con-
sidered as the chief representative OF
Wall Street in American pollt'c'I ~"
Besides, every Russian revolutionist
has special reason 70 dislike Root
Some years ago. when the question of
admitting political offenders TO this
country was raised in Congress, it was
Root who took the side Of Czarism and
adyocated the barring Of victims OF
despotism from the United States.
q" he men whom Root sought 10 in
lure years ago are now the rulers OF
the nation. Don't YOU think they will
yet even? ] have no doubt they will.
For TO progressive Russia Root stands
for the old regime.
Roots appointment will intensity
the strife between the Provisional Gov
eminent and the Council Of Workmen's
and Soldiers Deputies. The differences
between the two bodies are difficult and
dangerous enough as they are. Roots
coming to Russia will deepen and
sharpen these differences.
"The Provisional Government will
undoubtedly do its best to accord a
friendly reception to the American COM
mission. But the masses will demon
strate against the American emissary.'
