Those women who have demanded an

that they might be placed upon an
equality with men may realize their
ambition. Reports continue TO come IN

1T is significant, on the other hand,
that while the British were sustaining

another offensive action on even a
larger scale than the preceding one, In

conclusive indications OF allied superb

I'm the light Of past experience 1t may
be premature to assert that the British
have succeeded In forcing a decision
but it may be stated with emphasis
that in no engagement hitherto have
such vigor, energy and concerted speed
Of action been displayed.
"The full success Of these operations
means that the Belgian coast, with It's
numerous submarine bases, Will become
untenable to the enemy. Zeebrugge, Os-
tend and the system Of canals leading
out Of Bruges are threatened.
1.-THE supreme test OF the battle

appear decisive"
