They are gaining ground every ,vhere. Ten thousand prisoners have been aken by the British third and fourth rmies in the last two' days. Sir aattalion coniandem, a brigadier eneral and a brigade adjutant are ncluded among the captives. The British operations have grad ially increased both in scale and in ensity until today the decisive gains romise far reaching results along the 0-mile front of attack. The operations of tif'e last two veeks were the result of carefullest tudy by the commandcrs and of the uperb gallantry of all rank which as stimulated the entire British trmy creating the spirit known in nilitary parlance as "tails up," which s in contrast to the term, "wind up," is applied to the Germans, meaning hat the enemy is baffled and dis ouraged. "rails up" means that the 3ritish are confident and eager to teep hammering the foe. Officers returning rrom leave re )ort that the folks at home are re oicing, but, they add, it is impossible o be happier and more hopeful than ire the men on the front. This August marks the dawn of a iew era for the British army. While am comparatively new on this front ny observations are sufficient to pre-14 lict that the near future will bring ven greater achievemnents. I have raversed the lines from- Belgium outhward to the environs of battered theims. lam deeply impressed with he enthusia';m and discipline of the 3ritish troops and with the youth and 'igor of the men. Nor is the wherewithal lacking. The ritish have anl enormous equipment. 'he troops wear first-class shoes and niforms and their food is excellent. They have plenty of training chools. The efficiency and enterprise ,f the auxiliary departments, such as viation. tanks and armored cars and he skilful manner in which the ma hines are used stir all observers to he highest admiration. I have seen the sturdy Belgians on he northern extremity of the western attle line. It is a short front as com ared to the larger organization, but erhaps more difficult than any oth r, flooded as the trenches and dug muts are, owing to the low and wampy ground in that area. The Belgians are still doing their )it and doing it well. They may be ully trusted to guard the route to he sea. Although repeatedly cut to ribbons he Canadians and Australian units re constantly maintaining their units t standard strength. The Canadians mave always plenty of reserves to )raw on. The Australians are send ng recruits continuously. The New ,ealanders are clean-cut, intelligent nd( brave. The Canadians and Aus ralians are gluttons for fighting. I'hey invariably push beyond their ibjective. They are fond of the Americans be ause of the Yankees' dash and cour ge. They were pals from the start. No A mericans are engaged in the )resent battles on the British front ave aviators working with the Brit sh flyers. The Yankee birdmen are naking a splendid showing There are ilso many American medical officers telping in the field hospitals. In the more quiet sectors to the iorth A merican patrols are figuring n the fray. "'requent minor air raids ar madle for the purpose of wiping mUt G;ermian snipers' nests am' out. iosts andl fo d inetifying the c aemy mnits. Though generally less is satid of the niglishi troops they are doing the ion's share and doing it with charac (ristic reserve and bravery, carry ng some of the hardest objectives in he past week.
