THE WAR SITUATION. Four -dines during the past niteteen days, the British have delivered smash- ing blows against the German lines on bah western front, gaining much ground at each blow, and taking thousatds of prisoners. On two sue- -eessive Thursdays, after ample artil- lery preparation, they went over the top, each time gaining and consolidat- ing their objectives. On Tuesday last the fourth attack was lunched and while it came as a surprise to the Allies back from the firing line, it is quite evident that it carie as a much greater surprise to fdie Germans. Weather cot.ditions since Sunday have dbeen so bad, that it was thought highly improbable that General Haig Would make any further move mina the gmund Would become somewhat. &sled out sifter the drenching rain of the Vast few days The British cam . - mender however, decided not to wait • for the weather man and his attack found the enemy -in many cases very mitach unprepared and sarprisedi Ger- *Manly apparently has nothing that can stop the British, who went for- ,waed through a sea of. mad, with a doggeddetermination that marled all *before itd Stiff resistance was met, 6 at inani points, but the Allied troops wouldtot be denied, and with bomb and bayonet they cleared their way to the objectives that had been set for them. There was little rifle fire 'their gune-being too mud, -clogged with mud, but he -bayonet and bomb were good en- ough.t The attack on Tuesday was -a mond:nue& British and French one. the Frenele meeting with • equal success th Mush lerie.sresiatance than .. the BrtishrAer Allies a& now practi- cally in pOsseseion of all the ridge land and the next move will be against the Lille -Ostend railway; which once in the possession of the Allies will force the Germ aits to retire from the seaport el -gelid and submarine bases on the Belgian coast. The weather is the only thingthat can now save the Genhane froni another strategical re- treat, and perhaps not even that. Given afew -Weeks of fine weather, the Allies would uedoubtedly be in possesicin of the main German. supply railway for 'these coast bases; which would do more to settle the'submazine `menace and free Belgium theii any- thing the Allies have been able to do since the war began. That the Ger- man sun has begun to set, there is no doubt. It is true they have mach fight still left in them, bat they are no longer the equal of the Allies eith- - er in men or guns. That is being proved every day on the western front nowswhere the enemy losses have been collosal since the summer and where the morale of the German troops is very low, as evidenced by the condi- tion of the prisoners captured and the readiness with which they surrender. On the other fronts there has been little activity during the week, al- though the Russian, navy has been doing considerable damage to enemy shipping in the Black sea, seven large German carrying boats and one Turk- ish steamer laden with corn havine been captured 'or sunk by Russiar, submarines or destroyers. The tete' British casualties for the Week ending Tuesday were 17,505 di- vided.as foidows: Officers killed or died of wounds, 311s men, 2,965; officers wounded,or missing, 862; men, 13,367.

From Its.J. Drysdale. -The follow- ing is another very interesting and in- structive letter from Mr. R. J, Drys- dale,who recently returned home froin an extensive trip throughout the west. -Following my last letter of Septem- ber 13th, I wish to continue a few further remarks. • Leaving Salt Lake City we take the 'Rio Grande railway. to Denver. For the first hundred miles. we pass through a rich level: valley, devoted to agrieutlure -and detted with substantial faeni build- ings. and from the quantity of milk cans which vire noticed at the way Sta- tions; We would surmisethat it was largely a dairy section. Leavicg the valley- we plunge into the Wasatch Moinitains. ,-This lunge of mountains. I ani told,' is a' inienmiothi coal field. Numerous coal mines are operated a- long the line of railway but in addi- tion to this there are some large cat- tle and °sheep ranches in the Moun- tains. Our 'newt climb, is at Solt diets' Summit the elevation being 7,440 feet above the letiel. The sole idlers' hoine is located on the summit of this mountain, hence the name Soldiers' Summit. When the ; roes{ was first built the grade was so steep that it took five locomotives to take it train of coaches over the sundnit, •but the road has been, very much im- proved, of late years,so that at pres- ent two -engines can dosthe work. The town at the foot of the mountain is called Helpher, deriving its name from the fact that one or two engines were constantly kept at the bottom to help- • her (the train) up the mountain. In due time we reach Colorado Springs. This is the playground of America. Per -haps no other city in the United States receives and entertains so many tourists, as thousands of them visit this land of wonder every year. The city takes its tame from the soda, sulphur and iron s•pringe located here. which is now called Colorado Springs. These springs, although only a few feet apart, are three separate and dis- tinct springs, each having its 'own dis- tinct taste. A short distance from these springs is a gusher throwing a stream of water about fifteen feet in the air; this stream lasts for seven minutes, then forseven minutes it -ceases, and so on continually. Leav- ing the city in a sight seeing ear, we turn to the west*Our first object in view is a large white rock, 175 feet high. This rock is caned the Alabaster Rock. Many used and ornamental souvenirs --are made frora it, such as match boxes, trays, candlesticks, etc. Near by is a red sand stone rock, 200 • feet high with one side as perpen- dicular and as. smooth as if it had been sawed in two. Close beside it stands . the Three Sistets-Faith, Hope . atd Charitw-the highest and largest is . Charity. We now turn south and pres- ently come in sight of Balance Rock. This in a large rock, over fifty feet high, and Some thirty feet thick, and standing on a point about seven feet square. Close by is Steamboat Rock the rock beirg just the shape of a steamboat, and to complete it the Park Developing Company have placed an iron railing. around the top and er- ected two artificial funnels and stone steps to go up on deck. One could not -help but imagine they were on board ship for the time being. The Garden of the Gods is here and also Mush- room Park, which are wonders in themeelves. Now we come to Man aton, and come in sight of the great Cave of the Wind. This cave has 25 or 30 chambers, arid takes an hour to go, through. Our guide explained to us all the different formations of rock in each Of the varicose rooms, and told us the name of each room, such as the Reception Room, the King's Room, and the Bridal Room. The Cathedral Spires and Lot's Wife are in this last named room and our guide informed us that several. marriages have taker: place at the foot of the Cathedral Spires.
