PARES
FOR NEW ADVANCE
Guns Paving Way for Fresh
Thrust in Flanders.
A despatch from London says: Sir
Douglas Haig's despatch from head-
quarters on Friday indicates that pre-
parations are under way for a new
offensive in the Passchendaele region,
The official communication regarding
aerial operations also points to renew-
ed activity. It reads:
"During' the early part of Thursday
a heavy ground mist considerably
hampered aerial observation. Later in
the day the mist partly cleared, anal
considerable activity ensued in the air.
Many targets were successfully en-
gaged by our artillery with `the aid
of aerial observation, and a number
of reconnaissances carried out by our
aeroplanes.
"On the battle front our low flying
machines engaged several ground tar-
gets with machine gun fire. Hostile
aeroplanes dropped a few bombs on
our side of the line.
"In air fighting, five hostile aero -
'planes were downed and one was driv-
en down out of control. Another Ger-
Ian machine was shot down by our
nti-aircraft guns. Four of our ma -
.lines failed to return."

'FREER GAINS
AGAINST TURKS
A despatch front London says: In
the House of Commons recently, dui'
ing a speech, Henry William Forster,
Financial Secretary of War, .said that
since July 1, 1916, the British had
captured from the Turks 30,197 pris-
oners and 186 guns; and from the
Germans on the western front 101,53
prisoners and 519 guns.
The approximate square lnilag
territory conquered or reconquore
the British in the same time, sa
Forster, was 128,000. The tote
ber of prisoners captured on all
since the beginning of the w
166,000, while the captured grl:
ber 800.

classed by British
Yeomanry.
A despatch from London says;---
Reuter's correspondent with British
h'sadquarters in. Palestine, telegraph-
ing last Wednesday, says: "Within
a fortnight of the inception of the
British offensive the Turkish army,
occupying apparently an impregnable
line, strongly fortified and provided
with guns, ammunition and supplies,
has been driven headlong from its dee
fences and chased across country. Its
losses have been enormous.
"The feature of Thursday's fighting
was a brilliant charge by the Mid-
land Counties Yeomanry. The enemy
had been clinging tenaciously to a
position above Mughair, beyond Wadi
Rubin, where he. had hastily en-
trenched himself. Supported by field
and machine guns, the mounted
troops charged across the swelling up-
land straight upon the enemy. They
were received with a heavy fire, but
nothing could stop them. They cut
right through the Turks, sabering,
right and left.
"When the enemy found themselves
surrounded eleven hundred of them
laid dowse -their arms. The Turk is
fighting bravely, but he is hopelessly
outcia.ssede
"The total number of prisoners
verified since October 31 now exceeds
9,000."

CLEARING UP THE REMNANTS
OF$ ERMAN FORCES IN AFRICA
London, Nov. 18.—An official state-
ment of the campaign in East Africa
to -night says: "On the Makondo
plateau (German East Africa) we oc-
cupied Nviti, with slight opposition,
and Chiwata after a sharp engage-
ment. Forty-six' German Europeans
and 425 Askaris were captured. Since.
Nov. 1 our columns have accounted
for on all fronts a total of 473 Ger-
man Europeans and 1,072 Askaris
killed or captured, two naval guns, 4.1
and 33 machine guns, as even as a
quantity of material. The enemy
has been driven from the whole of the
Mahe/4e area."
GERMAN WARSHIPS
CHASE? TO PORT .
London, Nov. 18.—German light
cruisers, which fled through Helgo-
land Bigl:3 yesterday before British
warships of similar type, were pur-
sued to within thirty miles of Helgo-
land, where they came under the pro-
tection of the German battle fleet and
inine fields, the Admiralty announc-
ed to -day. One of the German light
cruisers was observed to be in flames
and the machinery of another seemed
to be damaged, while one German
mine -sweeper was unsk. The British
light forces returned without losses,
with but little material damage to the.
ships and slight casualties among the
personnel.
