FIRST OBJECTIVES CAPTURED BY NOON
ALLIES STILL ADVANCING. TWO DISTINCT BATTLES. PRISONERS COMING IN f Australian and N.Z. Cable Association"* (Received October 27, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, October 26. The United Press states that the Allies had taken practically all their first ob= jeetives by noon, and were'still ndvancing along the Pagschendaele spurs and at Gheluvelt, and had penetrated deeper into Houthulst Wood. The fighting resolved itself into two distinct battles— the first that, of the Anglo« French from Draeibantk to below the Ypres.Roulers railway ; the second along a short front centring on Ghelu* velt. .
The correspondent emphasises the fact that there was no attack between the two battles, because m view of recent lies the Germans are almost certain to claim they checked the advance there, although none was attempted. The German artillery replied only moderately, the British concentration of shell fire at night time obviously having had its effect. • Prisoners are coming m m the drizzle.
