OVER HEADS IN MUD

OVER HEADS IN MUD
Headquarters reports tonight detail
ed actual instances where charging
or rather sliding soldiers had found
mudholes more than over their head in
depth. Exploding shells and grena des
threw showers Of molten viscid muck
all over the landscape
If 1t were not for the difference in
the type of the steel helmets, there
would have been difficulty in dis
tinguishing friend from foe, so thor
oughly covered were the men on both
sides with the mud.
Early today British airmen, scorning
the tempest and the pouring clouds,
Joined the offensive OF the land Tom
mics, swinging dizzily down across the
German lines to add their sheets OF
steel to the downpour of peltng rain:
They performed valuable reconnois-
sance work directing the British artil-
lery through the murky air. The Aus
tralians. fighting fiercely. moved their
lines still closer to Passchendaele and
hurled back German counter attack.
BUT ONE COUNTER ATTACK.
That counter attack was the only
one reported along the front OF the
whole British advance not only during
last night but all of today.
The Germans were either fearful of
the l-encroaching mud or else they
were so thoroughly miserable from the
ever increasing British artillery roar
that they decided from the ever in
creasing British artillery roar they de-
cided counter blows were hardly worth
while.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The tOrpe-

rinc in the war zone four days ago re-
suited in the death of two members of
the naval armed guard. two army en-
listed men and four of the ships civil
ian crew. A third naval seaman is
missing.
Vice Admiral Sinis's report Of the
casualties to the navy department add
ed no details to the earlier announce
mcnt that the Finland had been tor
pcdoed, but had been able to reach a
European port under her own steam.
The announcement that five of the
men were drowned indicated to Off
cials that the Finland 5 company left
! the vessel in small boats until it was
made certain that she would remain
ahoat,
The capsizing of one of the boats
in launching might account for the
drowning of the men.
II is assumed that two of the armed
guard were killed by the explosion of
the torpedo, and that the missing one
probably was blown overheard by the
explosion, rs was seaman on the de-
| stroyer CaSSin when she was torpedoe
