THE BATTLE OMENS ARE GOOD
GERMAN GUNS AT EXTREME RANGE
ENEMY SHOWS HIS NERVOUSNESS
(Australian-New Zealand Cable Association.) -, LONDON, 24th September. "sft". W. Beach Thomas (the correspondent of the Daily Mail at British Headquarters) says: "The battle omens are . unusually good. The Germans have withdrawn many of their guns to their extreme fire -limit, and lessened their bombardments, and show the nervousness of their state of' mind in other ways. Their counter-attacks are vehement, but lack sting, whereas-the British and Dominion troops charge with the zest, of winning. Before the enemy leaves his last stronghold he will wrestle for a heavy ' fall. Behind each machine gunner stands an officer, with revolver in hand, so the enemy finds it equally difficult to surrender and to fight." .
