Paris, Nov. 3.--The Germans are being hard pressed | at a score of points in the long battle line, and military experts at the quarters here declare that their offensive has been materially lost, for at every point the allies are pushing their advance. Slow progress is being made be- cause of the determined resistanes of the: LREMY 1 OW 'made np more than in half of second line troops, but it is insisted there is Bo langer any doubt of the final result. e German attempt to advance to the sea is char- acterized as the most costly defeat of the war. The Ger- man losses have heen enomagus, and to-dayv's official re- ports emphasize that the flooding. of- the territory con- tiguous to the Yser, was the last straw. The Germans had crossed the river, and moved three miles be vond, before the Belgians,: who are experts at this sort of work, cut the dykes. The allies are pushing forward toward Memin, and if they ean take that important railroad centre, they will again be in a position to serjously threaten the German lines of communication, Kitchener Was At Dunkirk. London, Nov. 3.--British optimism continuesito grow as the Germans are forced back from the Yser river. It] is believed now certain that the kaiser has played. his last | trick, go far as reinforcements are concerned, and that the flower of his army, as well as his highest class re- serves, have essaved to take Dunkirk and Calais and have fallen bevond repair. It is announced this niorning that Lord Kitchener, British minister of war, held a conference in Dunkirk, I'rance, on Sunday with King Albert of Belgium, Premier Poineaire of France, and other statesmen and military Authorities. 1t.is presumed that plans were there laid for maintaining the allies' offensive and pressing of Germans 'haek trench by trench to their own frontier and beyond.

HEARTY SICK OF WAR HELP. i SINCE CA RS PROVE TO ALLIES. | German Officers Severely Criticized | --Their Leadership Very Faulty-- Soldiers Expected to Do Things That Are Superhuman. { ARMORED FUL | | London, Nov. 3.--In an official | statement issued by the Press Bu- reau to-day it is stated that the al- lies in France have been on.the of- fensive against the Germans since Oct. 20th. The Germans, on the (immediate British battle front, are suffering greatly from lack of food. The declaration was included in another story by an eye-witness which covered events up 'to Oct. 26th. It is stated that . although the German troops are not fully trained yet all are companatively fresh and they fightA with the utmost determination, although prisoners captured niake it very plain that all are heartily sick of the war. "Success, it is now certain, will favor that side possessing most en- durance and capable of flinging fresh forces into the fray from time to time, as they are badly needed," the report says. It i= stated that armored motor cars, equipped with light rapid fir- ing guns, have proven most useful to the allies in their operations. The transfer of British troops from the Paris front to the sea coast posi- tions is declared to have heen ac- complished without loss and practi- cally without a hitch. The work was carried on at night, and extremely er inasmuch as it is pointed out that only "10d were rate without the Germans knowing it The Losses Enormous. The losses are declared to have been enormous. On Oct. 2ist the Ger- mans attacked the entire battle line with the utmost vigor, but were! re- pulsed. The slaughter was greatest in the vicinity of Armentieres, where 6,000 dead were left on the field. Ong battalion of 'Germans, the 104th regi- ment, lost practically its entire strength, while in the fighting north of Lys the halance of the regiment was practically annihilated, 400 be ing picked up and buried, while many others were taken prisoners. The report pays tribute to the huhanity of the Saxon troops of the German army. To off-set this is re vited the story of ome party of Ger- man-Prusshanst who advanced crying "Don't shoot" to the Coldstream juards. To this appeal the British responded with a hail of fire from their machine guns, killing 700. The German officers are severely eri- ticizod. The advance, it is stated, shows lack of training, and faults of leadership, "which the almost super human bravery of the soldiers can- not counterbalance." War Tidings.
