ENEMY A DECLINING FORCE
BRITISH SACRIFICES,
LONDON, Oflt. 7. Mr. Keith Murdoch, writing from France, says that the British army's resiliency has surprised even its friends. Nothing can rob Australia of the honour of stopping the Germans' main advance, amd of changing th* enemy into a dedining force, or Australia and Canada of the glory of the pivotal August offensive, but since then British divisions have done a vast amount of aggressive work. s Visiting them, one. is strongly impressed with the losses they have sustained. You have to go to the artillery to find many men who fought at Ypros, the Somme, and Pasficbenllaele. The artillery's losses throughout the war, especially in the recent phase; have been much Jess than those of tho infantry.
