LONDON, Nov. 6.-Field Marshal
Haig struck another tremendous blow
at the German lines around Passchen-
daele ridge early today.
Satisfactory progress" was re-
ported in his early statement.
The British commander-in-chief
merely announced his latest drive
was in the neighborhood Of Passchen-
daele." Tt was his eighth smash for
ward since September 20-and in this
same general sector out OF Ypres.
Presumably Haig has driven for
ward to take the last remaining bit OF
the Passchendaele ridge held by the
Germans.
Local attacks reported a week
ago, carried the British to the very
outskirts of the city of Passch hendaele
Beyond the city there Is only about a
mile and half of the ridge extending
to Westroosebeke. yet held by the
enemy. All the remainder of the high
ground, including about seven miles Of
the Zonnebeke and Passchendaele
ridges, has been swept into British
possession.
The immediate objective of the
British drive In this sector Is Dix
nude ridge, running parallel to the
whole German line from Dfxmude
down through to Passchendaele. This
is the backbone of Flanders, the high
ground offering command Of the ter
rain for miles in every direction. Just
beyond it, three miles further lies
Roulers, one Of the main centers in
the German line of communications
between the interior and the subma-
rine bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend.
The whole British campaign has been
aimed at piercing this line, forcing re-
Of the submarine depots.
First Line Penetrated.
LONDON, Nov. General Cad
orna's first line Of defense has been
and today masses Of Aus
trian troops are being concentrated
for drive through the breach.
Rome dispatches today said great
forces of Austrians were being held
five miles distant from the Taglia-
mento and just below the point north
Of Pinzano where the German-Austrian
troops succeeded in forcing their way
across the river.
Special dispatches from the front
today emphasized that the Taglia-
mento was far from being Cadorna's
last stand" line. 1t was prepared
according to these dispatches as the
first defense line AS
that, 1t was declared the Tagliamento
had served It's purpose Of slowing up
and temporarily stopping the great
drive, enabling the Italian staff to
its preparations for lines
further back, presumably on the
Piav river.
1t is now largely a race between the
two sides in the bringing up Of heavy
artillery. In this the Italians have
the advantage of perfectly organized
and co-ordinated transport system.
Even though the German-Austrian
forces have apparently made a breach
in the Italian defense line, dispatches
indicate they have failed so far to
widen that aperture. The Italians,
awake to the possibility Of a thanking
