During the night OF September 1919
the Germans attempted a formidable
movement in the western sphere, but
were met by the French and British
with courage that was marvellous
against Overwhelming odds. The Ger
mans returned to the attack no fewer
than ten times with remarkable tena-
city and intrepidity, but we're unable
to break through the firm tine pre-
scented BY the allies infantry.
The fight just before daybreak was
the most violent of all. The Germans
appeared to throw into the charge all
that remained Of their energy, but
were. rolled back with enormous
losses.
Before retiring behind their big
guns they sacrificed many of their
number displaying resolution which
approached desperation. A vigorous
counter attack from the allies ensued.
during which small extent OF ground
was gained.
More Furious Than Ever,
The night of the nineteenth was rel
atiyely calm along the front, but next
day the fighting became more furious
than ever. During the darkness oper-
atoms are rendered difficult owing to
the reluctance of the opposing com
manders to use searchlights, which
might expose their positions.
After this stage of the fight was con-
cluded the Germans appeared to re-
tire about seven miles. During the
combat the adversaries in many in
stances came to hand-to-hand clashes.
and the bayonet was extensively used,
The carnage was terrifying, but the
troops of both armies appear to have
been hardened to such scenes and
fought with great GOODNESS

At a point where the bulk OF the
British troops formed part of the al

shop window for closer look. Alb

gazed at It all unconscious of the fact
that the baby carriage had rolled away

broken into fairly regular cakes,
