 As in the preceding attacks. the latest one was timed to the minute. The British forces at the given signal at daylight swarmed from their trenches over ground that had been harrowe0 sy myriads of shells from the gresI array of artillery and all along the front of more than eight miles, from south of Toner Hamlets to the north of Langemarck. they made notable new gains of terrain. infiict- ed heavy casualties on the Germans while themselves suffering slight losses and took many prisoners. large numbers Of whom gladly surrendered i'm order to reach haven of safety rom the maelstrOm.
 The attack was delivered with all the lash of previous offensives and swiftly and surely the Britishers, notwithstand- ing heavy counter attacks at various points, took positions that had been marked out for them, some of them to a depth of more than mile. The main ridge of the heights running north and south to the east of Ypres, which affords dominating point for the launching of future attacks. is nearly all in the hands of the Dritishers and at several points the Ostend-Lille railway now is virtually with the range of Haig's guns.
 PRISONERS ARE MANY
 More than 5000 German prisoners had been passed behind the lines when the latest official communication concerning the days fighting was sent and many others were being gathered in.
 Especially bitter fighting occurred to the cast of Zonnebeke. the nearest point of approach to the railway line which connects Ostend, Zeebrugge and other nothern points of supply with the Ger, man line to the south.

PREDICT COMPLEIE COLLAFSE
 In the view of these developments of ficers believe definite ascendency has been established by the allies in tha morale of their armies They regard that condition as forecasting complete victory. although none are willing to venture a prediction as to when the German col- lapse may come
 There have been Indications that the allied commanders have been intent upon the destruction Of the morale of the Ger man soldier as much as upon forcing their way forward in recent battles. The lavish expenditure of artillery ammuni- ption in which they have engaged steadily for months may have been designed largely to shake the nerves of the men among whom the shells were falling day and night.
 OPEN FIGHTING MAY COME
 There are many observers also who be- !lieve that with the German forces back out of the more rugged country, the fighting may assume more open char acter next spring.

 the Germans to be surrendering by hun
