Times and Sydney Sun Services.

(Received 8 a.m.) London, October 21. The Times' military correspondent says that General French's despatches should inspire confidence in the result of the war.

Allies now have no difficulty in repulsing them. The hopelessness of the ■ struggle is beginning to dawn upon [the Gorman soldiers in the field. While 'they are still making half-hearted at-

tacks, their old spirit seems to have been knocked out by the officers, and the appearance of second-rate troops is .exercising a disintegrating effect.
