Very few there were who did not hear

yesterdays day-long inspection-"h hur-

them today.
Major General Pershing frequently
voiced open criticism of unsoldierly

that French officers were inspecting

single out individuals for rebulIe. On
one occasion he waited to see sergeant

called dozen from the ranks of ano-

them stand at attention for five min

Not even some officers escaped cri-

In the fac simile trenches training
camp the general demonstrated with
his cane just how the British Tommies
thrusts to kill and went through all
the jabs, even showing how to pry a
bayonet loose from fallen opponent.
He also watched the strenuous train

ably from England the necessity OF

were the two offensiyes in the Csrso

An Ocean of Mud.
By Lowell Mellett.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Aug. -Forty-eight continu-
GUS hours of rain had all but stopped
the French-British offensive today.
Movement of masses of men or of heavy
guns was impossible in the muck of
mud. In few places where paved high
ways afforded footing or where ridges
above the morass gave relief, the armies
were fiercely struggling.
Field Marshal Haig reported recapt-
ure of positions near the Ypres Roulers
railway, where the enemy, by staggering
sacrifice of men, late yesterday elected
the British.
Further down on the British line Haig
reported a successful German raid ar
ound Haig's Court. The enemy secured
a number of prisoners.
Front dispatches indicated that If
the infantry was temporarily mired,
there was no diminution in the artil-
lery fire. The British guns are keeping
up vigorous shell offensive every
where.

New York, Aug. 2.--The Franco
British offensive machine was mired to
its hubs today. Movement was practic.
ally impossible in the vast sea of mud.
The artillery duel was continued with
undated feroeity, but the only infantry
actions were AT a few spots of high
ground.
Field Marshal Haig reported recap
ture of a position which violent Ger
man counter. attack early yesterday won
back from the British.
Haig also admitted successful Ger
man raid to the right of the Flanders
front.
The. Paris official statement detailed
no activity on the Flanders front.
News from the Russian front indicat-
ed steady strengthening OF resistance to
the German advance.
