THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1915.

Great help was also rendered by the operations of the Fifth Corps east of Ypres, during which soms important captures were made.

We are also much indebted to Vice-Admiral Bacon and out naval comrades for the valuable co-oper- ation of the Fleet.

Our captures, have amounted to over 8,000 prisoners and some 25 guns, besides many machine guns and a quantity of war material.

The enemy has suffered heavy losses, particularly in the many Counter-attacks by which he has vainly endeavoured to wreat book the captured positions, but which have all been gallantly repulsed by our troops.

1 desire to express to the Army under my command my deep ap- preciation of the splendid work they have accomplished, and my Deartfelt thanks for the brilliant leadership displayed by General Sir Douglas Haig and the Corps and Divisional Commanders who acted under his orders in the main attack.
