Pushing Forward Under Very He'll of Barrage Fire from the
 Teut0nS.
POELCAPELLE IS TAKEN
Germans Take Refuge in Old Brewery Buildings from the Allied
 Forces.

UNDATED DISPATCH TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The British and French forces have launched another heavy attack east of Ypres where the Teuton lines already were heav- lily bent by previous British thrusts.
 The Allies are disregarding the highly unfavorable wealth CT conditions.
 This combined attack is being made in a surprisingly short time, after the British drive of last week, and serves to show that the Allies are well equip ped for delivering 3 telling blow and at once absorbing the shock of counter attacks, and following up a victory without loss of time.
 It is the first time in the his- tory of the present war, mili- tary men point out, that an army has been able to recover itself so quickly after leaving its own intrenched position for those occupied by the enemy, and then launch another heavy attack.
 Both French and British re- ports agree that marked pro- gross is being made along this whole western front.
 French advices say that an- other strategic German re- treat" is expected to be an- nounced in a short time.
 The ground is covered with mud, making it difficult to move the heavier artillery. It has been raining necessarily and the
 great shell holes are quickly filled with water. into which the hurrying troops sometimes founder. Great splashes of spray and mud are thrown up whenever the heavy shells strike; troops are compelled to eat and sleep caked with mud, and push forward under very hell of barrage fire from the Teutons, but there is no cessation in the vigorous at- tacks on the part of the Allies.
