BRITISH DRIVE
BIG SUCCESS
Smash Through German Lines
in New Offensive.
TEUTOR LOSSES ARE HEAVY
General tIaig Reports Enemy Infantry
Was Cut Down in Repeated Counter
Attacks

London. Sept. 22.-Feld Marshal
Sir Douglas Haig in later reports re-
garding the British offensive en- the
Belgian front, says the completeness
of the British success is confirmed by
detailed accounts of the battle.
(The British offensive was renewed
at daybreek Thursday. General
Haig's troops struck frward on front
of eight miles between the Ypres-
Staden road and the Ypres-Comines
road penetrated the enemy's powerful
defenses to a depth at some points OF
more than a mile. More than 20OC
prisoners have been counted. The
British troops are established on a
line running Just west Of Zonnebeeke
and Gheluvelt straddling the import
ant Ypres- Menin road. and are in PCS
session of the villages Cf Ne,dhoe!l
North Zevankote and the western
part of PolE@Cn wood)
The British war office, after the re
ceipt of Field Morshal Haig's report
issued this bulletin:
more detailed accounts of the bat
tie confirm the completeness Of on
success. During the evening LEGAL a.
tacks delivered by u in the reighb r.
hood of Tower Hamle+s and northeast
OF Langemarck cleared mp humble;
of strong points and completed the
dlptnre of our detectives in these
localities.
at is now established that in the
many counter attacks delivered by
considerable forces of the enemy dur
ing the afternoon and evening his
casualties were unusually great. The
clear light of the latter part Of the
day enabled orr troops to obtain a
warning Of impending attacks and in
every case the advancing lines of Ce",
man infantry were destroyed by tie
concentrated fire from cur rifles and
machine guns and artillery.
THE obstinacy with which The enc
my constantly repeated his attacks
only added to his losses wi lou re-
covering for him any of the VARIABLE
ground whiaA we had won. EXhau /
ed by his previous efforts, the enemy
made no counter attacks during the
night and our troops were 2bla to con-
! solidate the positions undisturbed.

an average gain of a mile in depth.

1t has been a day of great success

mating positions form the keynote of
the German structure of defense In
this sector The greatest gains have
been made between St. Julien and
Hollebeke. which was as had been
planned, or within this stretch jof
country lie the important defenses
just mentioned.
The troops that went out to the at
taSl represented some of the finest
men in the British army. They enter
ed the conflict in high spirits and
eager for the fray. Their advance
was preceded by one of the most per-
feet and heaviest fires yet attempted.
The men went over the top stripped
light. AS result of this. coupled
with the fine artillery support, they
were enabled to negotiate the first
stages of the difficult ground rapidly.
They had swept through Glencorse
wood. Inverness Copse and the east

O'Clock, two hours and twenty min
utes after the attack began, and other
advanced positions were reached WITH
equal rapidity, a remarkable achieve
