YESTERDAY'S TELEGRAMS,
THE BRITISH OFFENSIVE.
"London, October 5. Renter's correspondent at the British Headquarters, in continu- îng his mocount of the latest operation, says that despite a continuous. pressure, our troops have been consolidating part of Beasel village. As we possess higher ground commanding Beatel, the local uncosas of the counter-attack, bere offers 'no advantage. Presumably the snemy's object was to drive as off the Broodasinde Ridge altogether. As illustrating the degree of the enemy's losses, some" Australians last night counted nearly one thousand corpses on a front of little more than a thousand yards. The Ausses claim that yesterday they established a record in the number prisoners osptured, compared with any unit of corresponding strength. They found in one shell-bole seven German officers crouching, including Battalion Commander, this being the third the Australiane have taken. From a blockhouse an Australian officer single-handed. captured 31 prisoners. The New Zealanders fought mignificantly, and the way they moved their guar' was worthy of a military tournament. During the day the German airmen flow low over our positions. We brought down at least one with machine gan fire. In the attack on Posicappelle we took a terrible toll of the

killed or taken prisoner. Two battalions were seen coming down the road, presumably as reinforcements, but they were blown with; shot to rags before they could get in motion.
The Tasks did excellent service by enabling the Warwicks and other English troops to take two very strong important points and in successfully resisting attacks. Several anti-Tank and Buti-aircraft gunu are among the booty.
The Newfoundanders gave a fine account of themselves by sttaining excellent results at a light cost. It was about their part of the line that a young officer of nineteen years of age had an extra. ordinary escape, A shell barst almost at his font and killed two orderlies accompanying him. When he recovered from the shook be found his putties stripped off by the blast but was quite ubin- jured. Both the Australians and New Zealanders sometimes went far beyond the limits of the advance prescribed, and they had to be brought back, grumbing fieartily that the freedom of infantry tactica should be subjected to the artillery barrage control. Most of the German officers taken have adopted a most pessimistic sne, in which their talk regarding Germany's position and prospecte is most significant.

London, October §.
Apart from she lose of dominating positions, she Garmane, on October 4, suffered a greater wastage of aan power than daring aay other day of 1917. The German communiques evade this and endeavour to encourage the people by dwelling on the "restricted British gain of territory." The fact is that the new Brish positions give our big guns the command of the stretch of coast from Nieuport to Osand, and jeopardise the whole of the enemy position in West Flanders.The value of the ground woo is indicated by one correspondent who says that Brages is now plainly visible to the British,

Fold-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reporte:-We have now won practically. the whole ridge which the Germans have struggling for two months to hold. Tas Keiberg spar and the isolated height of Mourelada alone remain in the Germans' hands: When they are ejected from theas, they will be wholly in the plains, with the way open to the British to Roulers and Menin va the one hand, and, on the other hand, through Houthales forest, to Oalend.
London, October 6.
A Paris semi-official comment on the British victory points ont that the Germans, knowing the determination of the British to obtain possession of the ridges before Ypres, quadrupled their artillery and brought ap division after division, yet unable to prevent the British advance, which has already wop positions of decisive importance commanding the road to Lille.
