- LONDON', OCT. 4.
British forces have advanced more than
a mile deep Into the German lines In what
looked tody to be one 'of the war great
est battles
Prisoners already taken reach into four
figures.
Several Ullages hae already been taken
The drive was still on this afternoon.
"British troops hao captured alt objec
tives today on n. front of 16,000 ardt.
reaching a maximum depth of S500 yards,"
declared General Maurice, director of oper
ations, this afternoon.
"Hroodselndo Is among the villages taken
today"
Hals struck his blow early this morning.
(he climax to a whirlwind of artillery that
for davit has beat relentlessly, unceasingly
on the German positions.
In all leipectH the blow Impresses one
as among the biggest. If not the biggest,
of all the battles of the greatest of nil wars
Fighting Is on an unprecedented scale of
magnitude In men, munitions, guns and ter
rliory. THREE DIVISIONS WIPED OUT.
At Zonnebecko alone three enemy di
visions (a German division ordinarily con
tains fc.OOD men) were ordered to nttnek
and retake ground, they lost In tho (list stag
gering Impact of the' British blow.
The Germans the entire three divisions
were caught In the British bairage. The
trrrlflg Ore literally churned them to pieces.
"East of Ypres we attacked at 0 o'clock
thlf morning on a wide front and with sat
isfactory progress," Field Marshall Halg
reported. "A number have already been
taken prisoners."
The assault was delivered over a front
north of tho Yprca-Mcnln road und north
and south of the Ypres-Iloulera road.
The British plunged foiwnrd In the misty
dawn, stumbling through-shell 'cralers'Tand
great ragged furrows, where bursting pro
jectiles had literally plowed the ground Into
a series of uneven trenches.
The wrecked front-line trenches In many

PUSH ON TO BELGIAN PLAIN
ThlB latest drive In the battle of Flanders
Is part of the British campaign to force
the Germans from Passchendaelo nidge
back upon tho Belgian plain, where there
is no high ground to give them shelter.
For ten days London has been eagerly
awaiting Just such news as that contained
In Haig's message. During that time
massed British guns have been pouring a
concentrated fire of tho greatest intensity
the war has yet recorded on German posi
tions In the Ypres sector.
The bombardment has been Interspersed
With desperate German assaults. The enemy
high command realized that the tremendous
gunfire presaged another British drive arid
has sought In every manner to mass troops
and guns to prevent It.
Nearly a week ago correspondents at the
British front gave hint of what was pre
paring, Then, a day or so later, they
aroused London's expectancy to the highest

during this time, the public figured today,
that Halg completed all plans for the drive
Presumably Halg struck again today at
the Passchendaele rldgo line the strategic
outer of the German front In Flanders.
It is the key to the German lines from
there to the coast, the dominating geogra
phical citadel defending the Houleru rail
way and certain main arteries of communi
cations with the German bases at Zee
hrugge and Ostend.

The official report from headquarters

U-BOAT BASES ON BELGIAN COAST
MENACED BY HAIG'S NEW ADVANCE
TS.E, Pe.at ?fff "s,vo in the ont east of Ypres, opened this morning by
Field Marshal Hnig, has for its ultimate object the driving of the Ger
mans from their Belgian seacoast bases at Ostend and Zcebrugge.
toui. 2i i , obje.c is .lho caPture of the Passchendaele Itidgc line.
With this strategic position in British hands, further advance across the
Belgian plain would present few difficulties, as the flat country gives little
opportunity for successful defense ngainst the superiority of the British
artillery.
Reports from the front this afternoon, showing that the advance has
reached n maximum depth of more than a mile on a ninc-mile front, show
the magnitude of the offensive, and will serve to strengthen the belief in
London that before the winter sets in Germany will be compelled to abandon
its Belgian U-boat bases.

SILENT SEND-OFF FOR
PENN FOOTBALL TEAM
Nary a Rooter Sees Quakers
Leave Station for Atlanta, Ga.,
to Play Georgia Tech
The University of Pennsylvania football
squad, numbering twenty, with the Idol
coach, -Bob Folwell, and the manager. Bill
Mather, left this afternoon at 1.20 from the
West Philadelphia station for Atlanta, Ga
where the Georgia Tech eleven will be
played on Saturday, and for the first time
Iri many years there was not one under
graduate at the station to send tho players
oft with a wish for good luck.
In other years It has been the custom
for several hundred students to march down
to the station, nnd on the way let all
Philadelphia know that the team was de
parting. Yesterday it looked as If the boys
were going to a funeral. The players stood
around watting for the train with gloom
written all over their faces, and even the
optimistic Folwell wore an expression that
breathed disappointment, although he would
not admit dissatisfaction.
The affair today was the exact opposite
of last year, when the students almost tore
the roof oft Broad Street Station with their
shouts when the players left tor Pittsburgh
and later for Michigan.
Failure on thejiart of the undergraduates
to give the team a rousing r-end-oft has
been considered as an Ill-omen mainly be
cause two yoirs ago the students arrived
after the train pulled out and Penn was
given a defeat by Dartmouth in the last few
minutes of play, when victory was within
grasp of the Tied and Blue.
To add to the general misery of the
affair. "Jerry" Jerauld, the big guard, who
rowed at No. 6 In the waist of the Penn
shell, missed the train and up to 2 o'clock
had not appeared at the station Jerauld
