BRITISH FRONT ~ FRANCE AND
BELGIUM, Sept 23.-That phase Of the
battle of Flanders which occurred last
Thursday, and which has been char
acterized as the battle Of Menin Road,
was to-day largely matter of history.
Hard local fighting was still in prog
ress at point west of Gheluvelt,
known as Tower IIamlets, but despite
the determined efforts of the Germans
70 regain the ground they lost here
they were unable to dislodge the Brit
ish troops, who had battled their way
forward so gallantly over the marshy,
wooded ground west of that place.
The enemy still chung to few de-
sirabe posts on an elevation near
Tower Hamlets, but their possession in
no way affected the general situation,
as they were not vital points. Else
where along the front of the British
offensive there has been no change in
the situation. An intense artillery duel
continued, but the enemy had aban-
Goned, at least temporarily, those futile
and costly counter attacks which
marked the first days fighting.
Sacrifice Useless
The German military code in the past
has taken little count of losses in men,
if results could be achieved. In the
present instance, the German counter
attacks have not only been costly, but
useless, for the British artillery has
in a majority Of cases torn the advanc-
ing columns to bits and driven the sur
vivor- back in hasty retreat. Row great

TO the attack were very heavy, and es-
pecially so on the night of September
is. During that night ration parties
were so badly smashed that they were
unable TO reach the front line troops
with food
The battle of Menin Road has fur
nished further evidence of that de-
teriorat!on in the fighting qualities
which has been going on in the German
lines for some time. IL must not 20
assumed from this statement that the
Germans are in demorallzed state.
During the last few days they have
fought with great determination, and
skifully, but they are not as good as
they were.
Attacks Less Fierce
II ia significant, perhaps, that the
counter attacks delivered by the enemy
on the first day were lacking the in
tensity of previous counter attacks, al
though the Germans had known that
the offensive was pending and had had
time TO prepare for eventualitics. In
this connection, change has been
noted in the attitude of captured Ger
man officers. Apparently, they no
longer have faith in the future and
have abandoned hope of success in the
Western theatre. The thing they are
most interested in now is peace.
On the other hand, the morale of the
British troops has never been at so
high a pitch as at present. Every
where along the line one finds the
same feeling. The men are imbued
with the idea that they have proved
themselves stronger than their adver-
saries, and they are filled with the de-
termination to see the affair through
to the finish.
The arrival of the American troops
in France has done much TO make even
stronger this confidence. Everywhere
the old-timers at the front are talking
about their new allies from the United
States, and it is agreed that the Amer
leans will make a magnificent addition
to the fighting power of the Allies in
the West and that the new combina-
ton Will be invincible.

Invaders Establish Them
selves on the West
ern Bank
Menace to Dvinsk
Continues Serious
Austrians Show Increasing
Strength on Rumanian
Front

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The Germans,
in their new drive against Dvinsk. have
established themselves on the western
bank Of the Dvina River for a distance
Of twenty-five miles southeast Of
Jaeobstadt, which they captured yes
terday, and within twenty miles Of the
great Russian fortress, according TO
to-day's official report from Berlin.
Petroerad announces that in the region
Of Jaeobstadt the Russian artillery IS
holding the enemy back on the left
bank of the Dvina, and there is no IN
dicstion from Berlin that the invaders
have yet crossed the stream.
The menace Of the German advance
10 Dvinsk is serious, however. APP
parentiy the Teutons, who have pushed
down the left bank Of the riyer as far
as Vessen, opposite Livenhof. are en-
countering little determined resistance
from the Russians. Dvinsk, which lies
on the right bank Of the Dvina where
it bends sharply TO the east, Is &C
cessible from the opposite bank by
means of the great bridge that carries
the railroad from Wilma across the
stream. Unless the Russians are able
TO defend the bridgehead on the lett
bank. at Kalkuny, or destroy the struct-
ure. Dvinsk seems doomed TO share the
fate Of Riga.
Break Would BE Serious
A break in the Russian front at
Dvinsk would seriously imperll the en-
tire line from the Riga region 20 the
Pinsk Marshes. though II Is doubted
if Germany can spare the men TO at
tempt a new invasion of Russian terri
tory at this point now. However the
loss Of Dyinsk might easily prove Il
greater blow 10 Russia at the present
stage Of political and military reor-
yanization than the fall of Riga was.
The Berlin statement reports hres
IN Pinsk. which may give indication or
the imminence of new German stroke
at that part of the front. Pnsk IS
railroad centre of importance, lying
AZ the western border Of the great
swamps that divide Volhynia and white
Russia, and on which rests the Russian
defensive system in this region. south
