MUD AND GERMANS
FAIL TO HALT DRIVE
OF HAIe'S SOLDIERS
By WILLIAM PHILIP sIMNrs,

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES m
FLANDERS, Oct. 14.-Nature is doing
her worst to halt the British drive
and falling.
An unheard of rain-a drenching,
continuous cloudburst that literally
washed away. some Of the ridges in
the Passchendaele sector-continued
for hours.
British shells plunged into the
Huuid drab mess-of mud and sounded
new depths OF ooze. Scrambling, slip.
ping, all but swimming along its sur.
face bedeubed Tommies squirmed
-iNhting onward. They were soaked
to the skin, every square inch OF their
bodies was painted with a dingy en-.
crusted mass. But they fought on.
All Look Alike In Mud.
Headquarters reports detail actual
instances where charging-or, rather
siiding-soldiers had found mudholes
more than over their head in depth.
Exploding shells and grenades threw
showers Of molten visci~ muck all
over Ahe landscape. II II were not

that they decided counter blows were
hardly worth while.
British fighters in the Poelcapele
sector cheered an officer who had the
nerve to march right up to the Ger
man trenches and "bawl out" the
boches for their barharity.
While the fierce struggle ragged.
particularly around the brewery. on
the edge of Poelcapele, the Germans
continued to violate the battlefield
code of honor by mercilessly shipping
at stretcher bearers, meanwhile using
the Red Cross flag themselves to
shield accommodating parties.
When 100 British stretcher men out
of ESQ had been killed or wounded in
one short sector. the nervy officer
acted. He saw thre estretcher bear
ers of one group OF four shot down
before his eyes. Their Red Cross flag
fell.
He. stepped boldly forward. settled
the banner OF mercy. and deliberately
marched up to the German positions.
The Germans, astonished, stared at
him. Standing squarely in front of
the boches. he read them the riot act
in excellent German.

from the mud"
PETRoGRAD, Oct. 1.-THE stra-
tegic Importance OF the capture by
Germans of the Baltic island of Dago
has not been underestimate by the
Russian admiralty. Proclamations
have been sent to the army and feet
calling attention to the growing dan
ger of an attack, even upon the CAPT.
tai. and exhorting the men to turn
their energies to the defense of the
coast.
An official statement says, in part:
"The Germans have been preparing
for some time for the landing on the
Islands OF Oesel and Dago. and their
operations were facilitated by the.
weakness Of the Russian patrol serv-
ice. The landing was done with ex-I
traordinary rapidity. The forces
landed are estimated at not over two
divisions.
"The loss of the islands deprives
the Russians of their heretofore COM
manding position over the Gulf of
Riga and necessitates a change in the
Russian army's positions around
Segevold and a withdrawal to the
Venden-Valk line"
AMSTERDAM, Oct 14.-"Michaelis
must go" is the cry of the hour
throughout Germany. The Socialists
through their official organ, Vor-
waerts, started 1t. All other parties
have taken It up. Bethmann Holl-
wegg's successor, 1t Is believed, will
not last in office another month.
Prince Won Buelow, the former chan
cellor, and DR.. Won Kuehlmann, who as
foreign minister has made a good i'm
preston on the Reichstag majority,
stand out as the most talked about
possibilities for the chancellorship.
