 Dept of Over
 Two Miles.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY,

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY, April 12.-In order to appreciate fully the trend of the present fight ing on the western front, the oper- ations must be followed as a whole, for they go to make up what un- doubtedly is a crucial conflict of the war.
 The loss of city or the abandon ment of five or ten miles of terri tory does not mean disaster. The battle has settled down to a grim race to determine whether the Ger man man-power is large enough to make good its threat to annihilate the British Army or force its capi- tulaticn.
 It is a cold -blooded proposition of which side can kill the most men in the next few weeks, at the same time to find new recruits to fill the depleted ranks.
 The mists yesterday continued in favor of the enemy, hampering the defending gunners. Partly on &C., count of the low-lying fogs, the Germans were enabled to progress as far as they did in the Armen- tieres sector.
