“Saven" Battles to Fall Splög, and
London, Sept 98 With the outburst of the Belgian blaze seven battles in which four million men are engaged are now raging between. the North Sea and Nazareth. Our week end achievements include the capture of fifty important toëns and positions. sad forty thousand prisoners. Marshal Foch's tactics in tackling the thorny problem of Chemin des Dames are grest- ly puzzling the Germans. Instead of frontal attacks be is advancing along botn sides of the knife-edged ridge leaving the Germans no choice but to retire along it. Similar tacties - wern-most successful in Argonne where the enemy holding the forest had to retire to keep his alignment with General Gourand on one side and the Americans on the other. The capture of Dismude and Moorslede "Ridge is most im- portant. Dixmade, a formidable position on the Ypres. canal commanding the road to Dunkirk, resisted all efforts of the Belgians to re-capture it after their retreat from.. Ostende The operations involved the crossing of swamps in addition to the canal bat this region of death traps is now in the rear of the Allies. The captore of Moorslede Ridge is even more significant as the extension of the victory will mean the breaking of the main bulwark of the German extreme right. In any case our gun positions on the heights. take the German coast positions in the rear while Datch telegrams speak of an anprecedented British naval bombard. ment of "Zeebrugge, etcetera. The populace of Flushing spent the night on the dykes watching the awe-inspiring *pectacle.
