HAIC'S OFFENSIVE RENEWED IN FLANDERS WITH SUCCESS
 FOR THE BRITISH FORCES
Republican A. P. Leased Wjre1

The anticipated renewal of Field Marshal Haig's big offensive in Elan ders has begun, and all the objectives of the first day have been won and held. As in the preceding attacks, the latest one was timed to the minute. The British forces, at a given signal at day ilght, sWarmed from their trenches over ground that had been narrowed by myrlads Of shells from the great array of artillery, and all along the front If more than eight miles, from soutl, or Tower Hamlets to the north of Lange- marck, they made notable new gains of terrain, inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans while themselves suffer Ing slight losses, ane took many priS- oners, large numbers of whom gladly surrendered in order to reach a haven of safety from the maelstrom
 The attack was delivered with all the dash of previous offensives and swiftly and surely the Britishers, notwith- standing heavy counter attacks at vari- ous points, took positions that had been marked for them, some of them to d depth Of more than a mile. The main ridge of the heights running north and south to the east of Ypres, which af- fords a dominating point for the launch ing of future attacks, is nearly all in the hands of the Britishers and at sev- eral points the Ostend-Lille railway now is virtually within the range of Haig's guns.
 More than three thousand German prisoners had been passed behind the lines when the latest official communi- cation concerning the days fighting was sent and many others were being gathered in.
 Especially bitter fighting occurred to the east of Sonnebeke, the nearest point of approach to the railway line which connects Ostend, Zeebrugge and other northern points of supply with the German line to the south. The ef- forts of the Germans to stay the British here were fruitless, however, as like wise were their efforts further north in the region of Poelcapelle where the British gained ground to the depth Of about tWo-thirds of a mile.
 There has been no cessation in the extremely violent artillery duel between the French and the Germans on the west bank of the Mouse river in the Verdun sector. The Germans have made another infantry attack against the French north of Hill 344 in region. but again were repulsed with heavy casualties.
 Near Jacobstadt, which lies midway between Riga and Dvinsk, on the northern Russian front, big battle ap- parently is being prepared for. Here PetrOgrad reports an intense artillery duel in progress which probably indi- Nates that the Germans are seeking to pave the way for an attempt to cross the Dvina river. To the south the Ger mans again are endeavoring to frater- nize with the Russians, inviting them to come out of their trenches. The Russians, however, are answering the enemy by firing upon them.
 l. In the Austro- Italian theater General Cadorna's forces have been forced to sustain further heavy counter attacks from the Austrians on the slopes of Monte San Gabrielle, near GoriZia. The attacks, like similar ones delivered dur ing the last week, came to naught un Continued on Page Two)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Details of the Italian cruiser Aquila's fight in the Adriatic with Austrian airplanes, de- stroyers and cruisers, reaching here to- day from Rome, add to yesterdays cable account a thrilling story of how the gallant Italian ship, while fighting a fire in her own hold, drove off the destroyers, was bombed by. the hydro airplanes and single handed engaged three Austrian cruisers until help came up, and then safely got to port under her own steam.
 The Italian naval commanders, hay ing learned that number of Austrian ships were moving along the eastern shore of the Adriatic, ordered a squa- dron of Italian destroyers to attack them. The squadron was preceded by the light cruiser Aquila. The vessel sighted two Austrian destroyers headed towards Cattaro, the Austrian naval base. The Aquila put on full speed ard attacked the destroyers, seriously dam aging both of them. Just as it ap- peared the Austrian vessels would be obliged to succumb, fire broke out

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-F'ifth avenue, which has echoed the tread of many marching feet through tempests of cheers since America shouldered arms, paid homage today to the nations her oines-the nurses of the Red Cross.
 It was the first great parade of the American Red Cross and although the 10000 marching women, young and middle aged, did not present a martial appearance they marched amazingly we'll They appeared as representatives of the first, second and third lines of relief back of the battle line, enlisted to serveI and to succor the nations fighting men. The hundreds of thou sands who had gathered to do them honor paid tribute of respect all the more impressive because it was less boisteEQus than that accorded the regi- ments Which have swung down the avenue on their way to training camps.
 It was a co1orful procession which stretched from Central park to Wash ington square and took two hours to pass the reviewing stand at the public library. Heading the line in their trim travel uniforms of dark blue were the nurses who have been mobiliZed here under orders to sail for France. Back of them came another division in gray crepe uniforms, made up of those awaiting orders. Another detachment wore rubber slickers for service in rough weather. Others wore dark blue ulsters and still others blue serge dresses with military capes thrown back to show the red flannel lining. In fact. spectators saw every type of uni- form known to the healing branch of the service
 Back of the nurses who are to see active service. marched delegations from every hospital in the five bor- oughs of New York and then followed the women who compose scores of chapters of the Red Cross and who represent lines of relief activity.

 In the meantime the two Austrian destroyers succeeded in escaping, find ing refuge in the port of Durazzo and large number of Austrian hydro-air- planes were seen advancing. They soon surrounded the Aqula and began to drop bombs on her, causing some dam age and killing some of the crew
 The crew had succeeded in extinguish- ing the fire aboard the Aquila and attacked the aircraft vigorously, fore ing them to withdraw. The hydro air planes, however, disappeared only to give place to three big Austrian cruis- CTS, the Ayda, Navara and Asparn.
 Without hesitation, the commander of the Aauila engaged all three ships, meanwhile by wireless calling to his assistance some Italian destroyers cruising in the direction of Durazzo. Very soon the destroyers came up SUD- ported by some English craft of the same type and the three Austrian cruisers withdrew .precipitately, one of them, the Navara, severely damaged.
