ALLIED OFFENSIVE STILL SUCCESSFUL War Department Gives Out Re- sume of Week’s Fighting ALLIES' LOW CASUALTIES Bad Weather Retards the Advance, While the Infantry Was Further Im- peded By the Fact That the Artillery Had Plowed Up the Ground. ‘Washington, Oct. 17.—French suc- cesses in Flanders, broadening the great wedge which the Allies are re- lentlessly driving into the German line are described as the outstanding feature of the week in the review of military operations for the week end- ing October 13, issued today by the war department. “The Allied offensive in Flanders continues methodically,” says the re- review. ‘“Assigned objectives attained with increasing regularity indicate effi- cient co-ordination of artillery pre- paration and infantry attacks. “The precision of the Allied bar- rage is proved by the low casualties of the assaulting columns. “The deadly effect of Allied artil- lery fire is confirmed by reports reach- ing us regarding the concern of the German high command at the new Allied “typhoon” fire which is com- pelling the enemy to amend his tacti- cal dispositions in an effort to meet the shock of shells rained upon his lines. “The successes attained by the French forces operating north of the British sector, more particularly in the neighborhood of the Houtholst wood, have given the Allled advance in Flanders the needed elbow room. “Breadth of front is an essential condition for operations which are to have far-reaching results, for, confined to a too narrow base, a really import- ant encircling movement can have no sustained value if along {its entire length it can be flanked by artillery fire. ‘The zone of operations in the Ypres salient, formerly too narrow for the proper disposition of large masses of troops, has now, by the French co- operation and their recent successful advance, so extended the line that fighting in what was the Ypres salient "has changed in character. It is no longer to be considered a salient, but an ever-extending wedgeé progressive- ly driven into the German lines. “The operations of the French dur- ing the past week are in fact comple- mentary to the engagements which resulted in the capture of Messines by the British last June. “During the engagements of the week the French everywhere main- tained the positions won in the face of repeated onslaughts. “As was to be expected at this sea- son, bad weather has come, which re- tarded the Allied advance. Opera- tions were hampered owing to the fact that the well-drained ground of the Passchendaele ridge once passed over, the advancing columns are confronted with the waterlogged, soggy Flanders plain, which stretches on to Roulers and beyond. “The infantry was further impeded by the fact that Allied artillery prep- aration has so plowed up the ground that the terrain has been turned into a sea of mud, making the going almost jmpossible. Torrential rains and low- lying clouds rendered aircraft obser- vation difficult and, under ordinary circumstances would have caused a suspension of offensive operations. But the inclement weather has not pre- vented the extension and consolida- tion of Allled gains during the week. “The Germans, fearing lest the Al- lied advance in Flanders would be fol- lowed by a similar effort along other sectors of the front, particularly north of Verdun, endeavored to thwart Al- lied plans by launching a powerful at- tack preceded by the usual intensive artillery preparation in this sector. The enemy was able to gain a tem- porary footing in certain advanced French lines. Latest advices show that he was driven out after some hot fighting. “It must be remembered that if a commander in the field is willing to pay the price both in the lives of his men, a8 well as in an overwhelming expenditure of munitions, he is in- variably able to score a local success. This the Germans gained in their as- sault &n the French positions along the right bank cf the Meuse, in the region north of Hill 344. “The enemy’s success was, however, more short-lived than was to be antici- pated when its cost is taken into con- slderation. For not only did the French regain the positions momen- tarily lost, but they are now holding their positions against exceedingly heavy enemy pressure, at the same time successfully carrying on their of- fensive engagements in Flanders, as well as raiding the enemy's lines at other points.” STEAMER IS SENT DOWN Norwegian Vessel Sunk by Submarine and All the Crew Missing.

Approval of the rallroads’ pro- posals outlined today will be regard- ed by the roads only in the nature of temporary relief, the commission was told. “It will only be a short time,” counsel for the executives said, “when the needs of the eastern carriers will be brought to the attention af the commission in a much more general and specific way. Representatives of the railroads told the commission that they had not come to ask for a general rate. ad- vance but to confer with the com- mission with the idea of increasing rates on certain commodities.

NEW BRITAIN GIRL ON WAY TO PRISON Miss Briere Is Now Enroute to Jefferson City for Five Years Needs Hartford, Oct. 17.—A journey with a sad purpose was begun today by Deputy United States Marshal Timo- thy E. Hawley of this city, Mrs. M. T. Benoit of New Haven and Miss Clara Briere of New Britain, who are to travel half way across the continent to lodge Miss Briere in the Missourl penitentiary at Jefferson City, where she was sentenced about three weeks ago for a term of five years for em= bezzlement from the New Britain National bank. Practically a nervous wreck Miss Briere appeared in the United States district court at New Haven, Septem- ber 25 and pleaded guilty to embezzle- ment from the bank. The lightest punishment that Judge Thomas could mete out to her under the law was five years in prison. Owing to her mental condition and frail health Judge Thom- as considerately sent her to Jefferson City instead of Atlanta where most federal prisoners from this state are taken. A female guard as well as a male deputy marshal must accompany Miss Briere. CONFERS WITH STRIKERS Mayor Quigley Mects With Leaders This Afternoon in Attempt to Settle Differences.
