Good progress was reported early
by Field Marshal Haig along the six
mile front northeast OF Ypres, on
which today's assault is being de-
livered. Apparently the objective is
the remainder OF the ridge command
ing the Flanders plain, over the
dominant points of which the Brit
ish have already passed and are
driving downward.
Another notable fact In connection
with the present series OF drives ia
that each Is now apparently being
made regardless OF weather oondi-
tons. One good day for airplane
observation was enough for the Brit
ish in this instance to get their
ranges, launch their drumfire, drop
their baFrage and push to the attack
through the mud and renewed rain-
fall.
Military observers in this connec-
ton credit the British high command
with the belief that IL is probably Of
little use to wait for good weather
at this time of the year in Flanders.
Another consideration pointed TO i8
the reported weakening state Of the
German army morale, an opportuni-
ty to be seized with all possible
promptitude IL the utmost advantage
is to be taken Of II.
There is no indication that the
French forces on the British left,
which pushed forward approximate-
ly a mile to the edge OF Houtholat
wood in Tuesdays attack, are
participating in today's advance.
Their task for the moment seems to
have been completed by the bringing
up OF their lines to a point where
efficient protection would be given
the British left flank in the renewal
Of the wedge driving process being
carried out between Passchendaels
and Gheluvelt.
Unofficial dispatches from British
headquarters reported that the Brit
ish, at an early hour, had pushed
several hundred yards into the Ger
man lines, the advance along one
wide sector averaging nearly half q
mile.
on Paaschendaele ridge Haiga
troops had fought their way within
about 1000 yards OF the center Of
Passchendaele village.
The Germans seem to have sensed
the Approaching battle, although they
probably were ignorant az 70 Just
where the blow would fall, as today's
British statement reported that the
British drumhre was directed on the
front OF river Lys TO the Ypres-
Menin road. This area is south Of the
front actually attacked. As a pre-
cautionary measure, the British
guns dropped gas shells on the Ger
man front nearly two hours before
the attack was launched.
Numbers OF prisoners already had
been taken by the British when the
correspondents filed their morning
dispatches.
