The British and French launched
another heavy attack on the German
lines in Belgium, regardless of un-
favorable weather, and in surpris-
ingly short time after the successful
British thrust last week. 1t cen

where the German lines were danger

thrust.
The allies advanced to a depth of
1900 yards in many places, The

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE,
Oct 9.--it ralned hard today, giving
an unforgettable demonstration OF
the nature Of the difficulties which
the British troops have encountered
in many of their recent operations.
Within a few hours the entire coun-
try had been turned into mass
of deep clinging mud, through which
one made his way with the greatest
efforts. A stream known as Home
beke, which is one of the little
waterways that cover not only this
sector but most of the battle zone,
was surrounded by a veritable
morass. 1t would be impossible to
cross it at many places.
Shell holes had repeatedly filled
with water and ponds were to be
seen in which score of men
might easily drown If they we're un.

slippery sides. Often a small pool
of water covered a considerable shell
hole.
1t seemed inconceivable that men
could work. much less fight, over
such ground. Yet the British sol
diers and officers we're carrying on
steadily their operations. And in
recent days they have often fought
bitterly over just such territory as
this.
The rain has turned the battle
front into quagmire and there
could scarcely be more trying con-
ditions for fighting. The soldiers
encountered by the correspondent
were cheerful. Notwithstanding the
fact that they were drenched to the
skin with the biting cold rain. At
one place a number of men were
singing Justify away at some popular
songs. All seemed immensely amused
at the muddy condition of the cor
respondent and the two officers with
him. Often the soldiers looked up
with cheerful grins that said plain
ly. How do you like It? Now
you know what we chaps have to go
through out here
Although the sun shone again
Monday in Flanders, the rain had
rendered the territory east of the
Passchendaele-Ghelu ridge a
veritable bog, making infantry ac-
tions on a large scale impossible
for the present.
There have been, however, num-
Der of small actions in the nature
of trench raids on reconnaisances,
and the big guns of both the British
and the Germans are keeping up the
mighty duel virtually without pause.

who. also took prisoners.
Although it had been anticipated
that the main committee of the Ger
man reichstag on Monday would dis
cuss Germany's war aims, the debate
was postponed until Tuesday. Mean
while the imperial chancellor has
gone on to main headquarters, fact
which may be of some significance.
The political factions in Russia
at last have come into agreement on
points which have been in dispute
between them and the government
over the forming of cabinet and 1t
is thought that coalition govern
ment will be Immediately instituted.
