Prize List --5 ifilt mint Ex THE WAR SITUATION The work of backing up the Gere ertalw atilt continues -without a let-up. In response, to -pressure applied at one and then another part of the line, the Gerntans opposite the British on most portions of the front continue to give -ground. The German troops which have been ecountered during the past few days, in most cases seem to. have lost greatly in fighting ef- ficiency, many of the hundreds that have been ca:pturecle have surrendered tamelYe in fact, lnallY have gone out of their way it an effort to be cap- tured. The gains during ehe past week have been most important ones for the Allies foe` aside from the vride areas over which the enemy has been compelled eo acknowledge defeat, the weakening in the German defence is becorninge daily more noticeable and apparently within a. verY short time they Fill be forCed to commence a backtead movement on. a scale that will mean the entire blotting out of the old lines and the taking ni of new ones from the region -of Rheims to Yves. The Germans are, never- theless, fighting desperately, *to hold their present lines intact, while seek- ing a chance to shake off the grip of the Allies, break Contact with them and slip away. So far they have been =successful in their efforts, and: while the results have not been spec,tacular they have been satisfactory, the re- sistance of the Germans' being over- come at every- point an the° line. . Otte feature of the recent attacks has been the use of tanke. These were of two lames, the huge tanks, and the smaller ones called "whip. pets." The old, days of trench, war- fare ocean for the time being at *see. * he past, Theta ks been no re4ree meat to new- trenches, on the part of the Germans, probably because in the confosien of their great defeat, they have been unable to prepare them, and expecting an advance instead of a re- treat, which has assumed the propor- tion of a rout at many points, none were prevared before -hand. The fight has been ;in the open' in which the tanks, artillerY, machine guns and cavalry all toOk part, supplemented by airmen who have swooped near the ground to fire into the retreating Ger- mans and add to their confusion. 2g. thee recent fighting the Can- adians 'have had a very conspieuou.e and important part and their achieve - as -the most formidable fightiag fotee of its size ou the Western front In the past three weeks they have cap- tured 10,00o- prisoners, 150 guns and thousands of machine gum, Unfor- tunately this has not been achieved on the part of the Canadians, with- out severe. and bitter losses. During the past few months the casualty lists . have scarcely been noticeable, but since the Canadians went into action on August lst, a mere glance at the at'aily papers, shows ihe terrible price the Canadiens are paying far their advancement. During this'brief pere. Ifni they have suffered 10,482 casual- ties in. killed, woanded and missing; 1.419 officers and 1474 men having been killed in action. When the German High Command decided upon their great offensive last spring, they _knew what the price of failure would be. They sac-rifieed hundreds of thousands of. men Oa a chance that they would -be able to destroy the British and French armies before the Ameriens arrived in force, and they approached success much snore closely than we know or even te think about, but they missed it. ittore ,Ilet• they heve last the offensive fat k the men. wham they sent to death or flisablement, and while they tiara heee losing men the Allies have le -en gaia:r.g them. The end of the leer e legibly still a long way 0 esi et the Allies' favor. HURON NOTES --Mcifinon.

Prize List --5 ifilt mint Ex THE WAR SITUATION The work of backing up the Gere ertalw atilt continues -without a let-up. In response, to -pressure applied at one and then another part of the line, the Gerntans opposite the British on most portions of the front continue to give -ground. The German troops which have been ecountered during the past few days, in most cases seem to. have lost greatly in fighting ef- ficiency, many of the hundreds that have been ca:pturecle have surrendered tamelYe in fact, lnallY have gone out of their way it an effort to be cap- tured. The gains during ehe past week have been most important ones for the Allies foe` aside from the vride areas over which the enemy has been compelled eo acknowledge defeat, the weakening in the German defence is becorninge daily more noticeable and apparently within a. verY short time they Fill be forCed to commence a backtead movement on. a scale that will mean the entire blotting out of the old lines and the taking ni of new ones from the region -of Rheims to Yves. The Germans are, never- theless, fighting desperately, *to hold their present lines intact, while seek- ing a chance to shake off the grip of the Allies, break Contact with them and slip away. So far they have been =successful in their efforts, and: while the results have not been spec,tacular they have been satisfactory, the re- sistance of the Germans' being over- come at every- point an the° line. . Otte feature of the recent attacks has been the use of tanke. These were of two lames, the huge tanks, and the smaller ones called "whip. pets." The old, days of trench, war- fare ocean for the time being at *see. * he past, Theta ks been no re4ree meat to new- trenches, on the part of the Germans, probably because in the confosien of their great defeat, they have been unable to prepare them, and expecting an advance instead of a re- treat, which has assumed the propor- tion of a rout at many points, none were prevared before -hand. The fight has been ;in the open' in which the tanks, artillerY, machine guns and cavalry all toOk part, supplemented by airmen who have swooped near the ground to fire into the retreating Ger- mans and add to their confusion. 2g. thee recent fighting the Can- adians 'have had a very conspieuou.e and important part and their achieve - as -the most formidable fightiag fotee of its size ou the Western front In the past three weeks they have cap- tured 10,00o- prisoners, 150 guns and thousands of machine gum, Unfor- tunately this has not been achieved on the part of the Canadians, with- out severe. and bitter losses. During the past few months the casualty lists . have scarcely been noticeable, but since the Canadians went into action on August lst, a mere glance at the at'aily papers, shows ihe terrible price the Canadiens are paying far their advancement. During this'brief pere. Ifni they have suffered 10,482 casual- ties in. killed, woanded and missing; 1.419 officers and 1474 men having been killed in action. When the German High Command decided upon their great offensive last spring, they _knew what the price of failure would be. They sac-rifieed hundreds of thousands of. men Oa a chance that they would -be able to destroy the British and French armies before the Ameriens arrived in force, and they approached success much snore closely than we know or even te think about, but they missed it. ittore ,Ilet• they heve last the offensive fat k the men. wham they sent to death or flisablement, and while they tiara heee losing men the Allies have le -en gaia:r.g them.
