Of never consenting TO a peace that did

LONDON. Oct. 12.-British troops
began another great offensive early
today over the slime and mud OF
Flanders.
Northeast OF Ypres We attacked on
a front OF about six miles about 5.25
this morning" the British commander
in chief reported, with satisfactory
progress.
There was rain during the night"
Presumably this third offensive
blow in eight days is against the
same German defense lines which
Haig has already battered back-from
around Poelcappelle beyond the Pass
chaendel ridge 10 beyond Gheluvel
| In Ave successful drives against this
same "Ypres sector" since August 4.
British troops have penetrated the
I German defense at least 1--WE miles. The
% attack OF October pushed the Germans
- even further back than this average Of
e one mile per attack Likewise. 10 was
FL the FIRST time that the new German
system OF defense by concentrated
r she'll boxes had been thoroughly tested.
p British attackers found them even cas-
fer OF attack than the former system OF
intricate trench lines.
J Abandoning his former system OF
making such a sudden blow taking
territory and then awaiting possibly
weeks until all positions had been thor
J oughly consolidated before hitting
again, Field Marshal Halg struck only
four days after this drive Of October 4.
His men went "over the top" again on
Monday. Again they gained great sec
tlons Of German-held Belgium.
Four days after this second success
ful smash-at 5.25 this mornlng-the
British commander IN chief has again
set his iuggernaut In motion.
The highest hopes were raised here
early today by the news OF this re-
sumed offensive. First Of all, London
realized that weather conditions could
not possibly be worse for lighting. il
has ralned. almost steadily for flve days,
in Flanders. Every dispatch OF late has
emphasized the wallowing area OF
mud there. The public. therefore, ac-
cepted the fact that under such adverse
condition, Haig has again chosen to at
, tack. as proof OF knowledge by tho
|. British commander In chief. that he now
J has the enemy reellng from his sledge-
hammer blows.
, Momentous issues hang on the Ger
man line in the bloody Ypres sector.
' The British drive is a direct menace to
the German grip on submarine bases
on the Belgium coast.

 Knitting neuritis, if you would avoid it, give the fascinating knitting an occasional change that calls another set of muscles into activity. It is not that the work is heavy or tire, some, but that it is inoessant. It is always easy to overdo any thing that is new. The need is great, but is likely to continue indefinitely.
