Then came more furious Smelling OF
our trenches and another mad rush
across the open on our front. This time
they were strongly supported by cav
airy who suffered terribly. but came
right up to our lines
I'VE received them in the good old
way, the front ranks with the bayonct,
and tho rear ranks keeping up an inces-
SAINT tire. and after a hard tussle they
retired hastily. Just as they thought
themselves safe our mounted men
swooped down on them. cutting right
and left.
This sort Of thing went on through
the whole day without bringing the Ger
mans any nearer to shifting us.
After the last attack. we lay down to
sleep in our clothes. but before sunrise
were told to abandon our position. No
obeycd without murmur. The enemy's
cavalry. evidently misunderstanding our
action. came down on us again in force.
but our men behaved very well, and
the Germans gave it up as a bad job.
The Daily Mail said cditorially this
morning:
The concentration OF the Germans
| in immense strength to crush the small
British force IL now an established fact
+ The result Of the fighting which fol-
lowed this concentration is not yet fully
/ known. Tho latest report only brings
/ events to Wednesday, on which date
/ our two army corps We're engaged by
no fewer than five German corps and
| two cavalry divisions. These were
| stupendous odds as each individual
German corps is stronger than a Brit
ish corps.

when we had given up any hope Of

veille our cavalry pickets fell back, re-

AS We lay in the trenches our ar

soon they returned the compliment.
They were a long time finding the

infantry came into Wow. They were in
solid squares. standing out sharply
against the sky line, You could not
help hitting them.
I'VE lay in our trenches without a
sound and they crept nearer and nearer,
Then our officers gave the word a sheet
of flame fiickered along the trenches
and a stream OF bullets tore through tAo
advancing mass. They seemed to stag
