(ADSTRAUAH-NHW ZEALAND CABLB ASSOCIATION.!
(Received August 17, 3 p.m.)
LONDON/l6th August. The new British blow in the Ypres region extends from the Polygon Wood to the junction of the British and French on a, front of six miles.
The French attacked simultaneously, and brilliantly supported Sir Douglas Haig's left.
The French right had already crossed the Stenebeke stream, and was still advancing, and their left gained all their objectives.
Prisoners are coming in, and the British advance continues.
The Trish are performing wonders, men of Ulster fighting side by side with South of Ireland soldiers.
Sir Douglas Haig keeps Prince Eupprecht guessing, by shifting like a master boxer in the ring.
