(by mall).?The actual beginning of the fourth winter of the war finds the French and British troops occupying better positions everywhere alona; the 4-0-mlle front between th? North Sea and Switzer land than they have ever held before.

Durili?; the first three winter? of the war It waa the British and French soldiers who suffered In droves from "trench feet." occasioned by standing hour? on end In trenches where water waa knee high. Dugout? were gener ally uscio.?.? urtless pumps were avail able to keep them drained nut. And because the advanced allied positions were below the German trenches and therefore in plain view, it was always difficult to bring up supplie?, food, shells and relief? of men and to re move the wounded. The British and French campaigna of 1?I7 have changed all that. The successive blows struck by Hais, Ni velle and 1'etain have wrested from the enemy almost all of his command ing position?, and forced him down into the low country' behind each cr??t he ha? lost. . Starting at the North Sea. and con tinuing to the beginning of the Ypres sector, the only change noted is along the beach in the region of the Dune?, where the Germans, in a surprise at tack last ?ummer, ni.hcd the ad vanced British position? and threw back the Knglish troop? to the south bank of the Yser Canal.
