In the British section of the western theatre of war

our troops have taken the offensive to the west of La Basses and to the east of Ypres. In the La Bassee district on Tueed.y evening they won several trenches, but these trenches wore retaken that night by strong counter-attacks of the enemy. Naar Hooge, however, two miles east of Ypres, we gained a considerable piece of ground and have held it. The Germans allege that at La Bass& four English divisions, or nearly seventy thousand troops, took part in the advance, and suffered very heavy losses. but " Creciat .Tudaeus Apella" say we. Heavy losses no doubt there have been, bat we shall want much better evidence in regard to these seventy thousand troops. People who are "jumpy" are always attacked by "thousands upon thousands of men."
