They say. however. that the Russians

either must allow East Prussia to be

Attack Described as Brilliant and Sue

LONDON. Nov. 13. 11:20 D. m.-The
Official press bureau issued the follow
ing communication at IL o'clock TO
night:
"A very severe attack against the
portion OF the line held BY the first
army corps before Hpres was deliv-
cred on the 11th by a Prussian guard
corps. The enemy made an especial
enort on this occasion to break the
line which they hoped already had
been weakened by attacks OF infantry
-pf. the line. The facts briefly are as
follows: Our troops were subjected
10 the heaviest bombardment that we
have yet experienced. from dawn for
Erce hours. This was nj once fol
lowed up by an assault in force. car
ried out by the first and fourth bri.
Rades OF the Prussian guard corps. II
l. understood that these picked troops
had been brought up especially to act
against us in order to force their way
through at points where previous ef.
forts made by the infantry OF the line
had failed.
RepuIsed at Npres
The attack was pressed with the
greatest bravery and determination
Owing to the gallantry OF our troops
and their splendid resistance AGAINST
great odds. the attempt to penetrate
to Ipres was repulsed. but the weight
OF the enemy's advance enabled them
to break through our lines at three
points. They were. however. hurled
back and prevented from gaining fur
ther ground
An Immense loss has been inflicted
on the Germans. 700 OF their dead
having been found on the ground be-
hind our front trenches alone The
casualties suffered by them in ad-
vancing M TO our line under direct
and enfiladed fire must have been
enormous. Our casualties also were
heavy.
The action OF our troops on this
as well a. on previous occasions can
not be praised too highly"

We had only been In there n short
time when We heard a bell ringing. We
knew by that that 1t was closing time
and that the next hour at most would
decide whether We had been noticed or
whether the place we were in was
searched or not. A moment after the
bell stopped ringing we heard some one
call Five o'clock; all out" Then
everything became quiet and we settled
down to wait for midnight. We had
decided to come out at about that hour
We had been in hiding probably an
hour when Fuzzy said that he was going
out to look the land over. While he
was out Spider and I went over our
I tools. We didn't have much OF any
thing. for We did not need much on a
job Of this kind. We had just about an
ounce Of soup. (ntroglycerine,. This
was for the gate. With 1t we had three
! inches OF fuse and cap. We had this
in case the gate would not Weld to our

wants TO take little soup along.

That Is. we never went armed. hut

but not big enough to get him out.

personal order. Fuzzy had the soup. a
small hammer that he had picked nm
somewhere that morning and his rod
,revolv"r,. That. I believe, was all the
tools We had on this job.
When Fuzzy came back he said that
everything was as still as a church and
he did not think there was any use
in waiting any longer. He asked spider
for some fly paper. He said that lie
was going To get some gold chains, wire
and beads that were in the Central and
