He continues:
Along the Sambre and in the angle

Joffre was forced to order a retreat

Of the severest and most desperate
character. our troops offered the most
stubborn. superb resistance against the
tremendous odds with which they were
confronted. They finally extricated
themselves in good order. although they
suffered serious losses under very
heavy artillery fire. No guns were
taken by the enemy except those on
which the horses were all killed or
which were shattered by high explosive
shells.
"Slr John French estimates during
all these operations, from August % TO
August % inclusive. that our losses
amounted to between 5000 and 5000
men. On the other hand. the German
losses in their attacks in the open

The head Of the advancing column

ensued. II IS estimated that not less
than 500 or 900 dead and wounded
Germans were lying in this street
alone.
"a similar incident occurred during
a charge Of the German Guards cav
airy division upon the Twelfth Infantry
brigade when the German cavalry were
repulsed with great loss and in abso-
lutte disorder.
These are notable examples of what
occurred over practically the whole
front. During these enga gcments the
Germans have been made to pay the
extreme price. while every forward
movement made by the British has
been unmolested except by the enemy's
cavalry.
Since August 20 our troops have
rested and rriittcd after their glorious
achievements. Recnforcements amount

has been replaced. The army Is ready

To-day the news Is again favorable.
Tie French armies. which have been
acting vigorously on the right and left,
have for the time being brought the
German attack 10 a standstlll. Sir
John French reports that on August
