FIFTY BATTLES AND FIFTY VICTORIES
WHAT THE SOMME BATTLE MEANT ("Tlio Times.") London, December 1. ' The correspondent of the "Times'.' at British Headquarters writes: "The Soramo Battle, measured by tlio standard of previous wars, was really fifty battles and fifty victories. AVo took prisoner _ eighty thousand men—mors £?ian the fighting strength of nine German divisions. Once in July and once towards tlio cud of September the Gorman military machine was perilously near breaking down. Wc noror expected to break it here, but we have learned that it can bo doim. It is beliovnd that the capture of Beaumont Hamel was the most brilliant, operation nf the Somme offensive. There is nothing finer than fcho record of the. overseas troops, including the extraordinarily successful fichting of the Now Zealanders at Tiers."
