Paris, Dec. 5.
An official Army Bulletin has been issued which gives a review of the war from ths beginning.
After Generalissimo Joffre took the offensive, on September 5, the rmans still hoped to turn the French left wing while we hoped to turn their right, hence the race to the sea, The German movement failed, despite their advantage of operating on a concentric front, and the Allies were able to create and maintain a barrier at the Yser.
Here, for three weeks, twelve German army corps (roughly 500,000 men), assisted by four divisions of cavalry, delivered repeated turion: attacks, in dense masses, in obedience to the Kaiser's behest to reach Calais or pierce the Allied line at Ypres. We have not yielded an inch of ground and have established ourselves impregnably.
The Battle of Ypres has cost the Germans 120,000 men. Our foro2s are now as large as they were at the beginning of the campaign; the quality of our troops has improved enormously and all are profoundly convinced of their superiority over the enemy and of eventual victory; while the Germans have sustained checks, the far-reaching consequent ces of which have exhausted their reserves, while their troops are now badly officered and trained.
