The special order says: "Three weeks ago today, the enemy began his terrific attacks against.us on a 50-mile front. His objects are to separate us from the French, to separate lis from the French, to take the channel ports and to destroy the British army. "In spite of throwing, already, one hundred and $lx divisions into the battle and enduring the most reckless sacrifice of human life, he lias yet made little progress toward his goals. "We owe this to the determined fighting and self-sacrifice of our troops. Words fail me to express the admiration which I feci for the splendid resistance offered by all ranks of our army under the most trying cirf"Many amongst us now are lived. To tlio.se. I would say that victory will belong to the side which holds out .lli** longest. The French army is moving rapidly and in great force to our support.
