this morning already has accomplish

1. They tore out and flung back
across the crest and down the slopes
of the Paschendaele ridge the right
hook" of the Germany army that
dug In east and northeast of Ypres
three years ago. This hook" had
stuck tenaciously In the British side
after the whole center and left Of the
ridge had been cleared of Teutons.

but 1t has no chance of clawing it.
self In again, or even of hitting back,
for the British guns now thunder
from the dominating heights.
q By thus clearing. to the greater
part at least, the head Of that power
full ridge, they have placed the
Teutons before the alternative OF
letting themselves cut to pieces next
spring IN the plains which the Brit
ish guns overlook, or seek new cover
many miles eastward. The retreat
which now must inevitably come,
will automatically shake the entire
German line since 1t entails the alb
andonment OF the Menin- Roulers line
which feeds the entire network of
trenches and field forts guarding

German Drive Too Late.
They have made material progress
toward stamping out the U-boat pest
bases along the Belgian coast. The
Germans for the first time since they
inaugurated their new defense sys-
TENS managed to fulfil one of its
principal conditions: They launched
their counter attack almost instantly
after the allies onslaught began, in
stead of losing valuable time as they
have in previous cases. AS a result,
the Franco-British storming columns
encountered probably the roughest
shedding they have had this year.
A fearful slaughter ensued. In the
vital sectors the Teuton resistance,
redubled by the. waves rushing into
the teeth of the attacking waves was
crushed with deadly sureness. On the
fianks the defenders faired a bit bet
ter. They succeeding in holding on to
number of points which they must,
however, yield sooner or later. One
OF the hottest battles Of the day was
fought in Daisy Wood, Just north OF
Brodseinde. Though the wood was
completely surrounded by the British,
the Teutons kept on fighting with the
desperate fury of trapped men.
The chief momentum of the British
push carried them through the viii
lage of Poelcapelle, about six miles
north of Ypres. At last accounts the
village was firmly IN their hands. The
French concentrated their forces in
advance south OF Houthelt. which is
some ive miles toward the coast from
Bixschoote. the sector in which the
French won such success on July
q. The Germans are fully expected
to yield ground only inch by inch,
relying upon the short time at the
allies disposal.

Up the cudgel in that section She
has analysed the situation there for

In her message to Secretary Baker

1T Is reported that certain repre-
.sentatfves Of farmers organizations
are making demands that all farmers
shall be exempt from the draft. II
Is not likely that so unreasonable a
demand will be granted but II Is only
right that some other representatives

concluded, "the more the people will
study and understand the war, its
necessity and the universal share in
the defeat or the victory. A case
near me shows this. A wealthy
ranehman expressed contempt for the
