BRITISH FRONT, Oct. lO.-There
has been another wonderful per
formance by the allies. The vic
tory is the more remarkable because
of the tremendous natural difficlu-
ties. Rain converted the battlefield
into morass, through which the
British and French floundered knee

their way and fought over such
ground. German prisoners said no.

vance under such conditions. The
mud-covered allies approaching the
German lines apparently unnerved
the enemy. The Germans surrender

fled. British artillery smashed

astride the Ypres-Roulers railroad.
Some of the hottest work of the
day occurred at Poelcappele Vigor-
Gus fighting has continued there
since the British established them
selves in the eastern half of the
town after last Thursdays drive. At
dawn today hand-to-hand fighting
amidst the ruins was begun in
earnest. The Germans pushed back
to the western outskirts and took
position at a fortified brewery,
which they were forced to evacuate
early in the afternoon.

Dixmude in an effort to bring that
section Of the line even with the
sharp wedge that has been driven IN
to the German front by Haig east
of Broodnseinde.
Launching their attacks stimuli.
taneously Tuesday morning, both
armies had made considerable gains
before nightfal, in addition to in
flicting heavy casualties ON the Ger
maps and. taking many prisoners.
Prior to the announcement OF the
commencement of the attack there
had been no admission that the
Frenchmen were ready for an ad-
vance. In fact, it had been rather
expected that even the British com
mander in chief would delay taking
the aggressive again for several
days. owing to the terrible condition
Of the ground he is in quest Ola
yeritable marsh owing to the heavy
rains Of Sunday and Monday.
With apparent ease the French
men crossed the flooded Broenbeek
and Jansbeek rivers and captured
the villages OF st. Jean De Mangelare
and veldhoek, together with numer-
Gus blockhouses, and took prisoner
several hundred Germans.
Haigs principal offensive center
ed on the portions of the Passchen-
roel-Gheluvelt ridge which is held
by the Germans, being directed east
ward from Poelcappelle, which was
captured, and northeastward from
Broodseinde toward Passchendaele,
the ultimate objective still being the
Ostend-Lille road.
At several points Haig's advance
was sharply contested by the Ger
mans, particularly north OF Brood
seinde, the nearest approach to rail-
road line, and near the Polderhoek
chateau. Nowhere, however, were
the Germans able to stop the ad-
vance near the Polderhoek chateau,
where the terrific fire OF their ma
chine guns momentarily forced the
British to give ground Later the
attacking troops realigned them
selves and the successful push went
on again. q
Aside from Flanders the opera
tions in all the various theaters OF
war are of minor character Along
the Aisne and Champagne front and
on the left bank Of the Meuse In the
Verdun sector intensive artillery
duels are still in progress between
the French and the Germans. In
Champagne the French have carried
out a successful raid near the Butt
of Tesure and taken prisoners.
There is still considerable infantry
and artillery fighting between the
Russians and Germans in the Riga
sector on the Russian front but
neither side has made any attempt at
an advance. Reciprocal lombard
ments are in progress between the
Italians and Austrians on the Austro-
