On Monday, accompanied by Gen

Thousands of Sammies glimpsed the

THE allied offensive in Flanders

Assigned detectives attained with

French participation in the opera-

features during the past week.
Success Attained by French.
..The successes attained by the
French forces operating north of the
British sector, more particularly in the
neighborhood of the Southhulst wood,

Washington, Oct. 17.-With veri-

driving a wedge into the German line
in Flanders. Sooner or later this
wedge may split the Teuton line and
permit of thanking move, instead of
the unceasing frontal attacks, which
up to recent date have meant only

slaughter without real tactical adNan-

This significant fact developed to-

them real concern; in fact such deep

of Verdun, endeavored to thwart al
