The Western Front
FRENCH REPORT PROGRESS. Received 4, 11 p.m. Paris, March 4. Official: Further progress was made o„ the Souain-Mesuil-Beausejour front. We inflicted enormous losses on the Prussian Guard at Mesuil. AWFUL ZONE OF DEATH. THE COUNTRY ABOUT YPRES. Received 4, 10.25 p.m. London, March 1. The British eye-witness reports an accidental explosion of German magazines north of Armentieres. "The country between the hostile lirt-s at Ypres," he says, "defies description. Imagine a wood, with most of the trees felled or half-sawn, lying with their branches on the ground, moreover, a wood standing on soft, muddy clay, in which there are pits every few yards and several feet deep, the whole a tangle of dead vegetation and inudpits heaped from end to end with thousands of German corpses, the majority of whom have lain there since November. Such is the awful zone of death."
