NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE British Army has during the past week achieved a fresh -series of great victories in the Ypres region. Sir Douglas Haig has made two successful attacks on a wide front, and, in the interval of six days between the attacks, repelled many determined counter-attacks by the enemy. He has at last been favoured by fine dry weather, in which the infantry could move with comparative ease, the guns could be brought up rapidly, and the airmen could pursue under the best conditions their dual task of observing for the gunners and harassing the enemy. By a new method of attack the latest German defensive schemes, which we discuss elsewhere, have been eircumventod, and our gallant troops have gained and held all their objectives without heavy losses.
