(Special to the Whig.) Paris, Oct. 2. - Sharp, sudden strokes by which the Allies are stea- dily improving their positions both in the Artois and Champagne regions, have temporarily replaced the batter- ing ram tactics of the first two days marking the beginning of the great offensive movement. But despatches received here to- day indicated that another heavy | smash against the German lines will | not be long postponed. All along the Anglo-French front the artillery is becoming inc 'reasingly active, From all sides come stories show- ing that the Allies' losses have been surprisingly/ light, considering the nature of the fighting Officers fully expected to lose about thirty-three per cent. of their men in killed, wounded and missing. As a matter of fact, the casualties aver- aged only about eleven per cent. This was due largely to the magnificent artillery prepartions, though count- less ordinary slight woundsgin the head wer prevented by the new steel helmets worn by the French sol- diers.

Thirty thousand prisoners and two hundred German guns are in the hands of the French and British. Berlin claims to have taken twelve thousand Allies' prisoners, but makes no estimate of the Allies' other casualties. At least a million men are engaged in this great battle, and before another week they will likely be for next week. reinforced by another million.
