long way from the acknowledged goai

bloody defeats for the British despite
their partial successes
owing TO the tenacious bravery OF
the British, they have pressed US back
further in the Ypres bend. They have
driven n wedge into the center of that
bend, but that is all. There Is no dan

Gen. Won Arnim said the British
troops were two or three times more
numerous than the Germans ana that
the British batteries were equipped
with far more heavy guns than the

A further advantage for the British.
