the Germans reoccupied their

by the marshy ground, we regained a
line of trenches 500 metres long.

that officers went to the spot and

pcarance. The women had found the
head concealed in tho .underbrusil
while digging for herbs. :
The police are conducting u
searching investigation. The head
was cut Soff clcanly, as II with d
sharp knife, but no trace Of tho
body could be obtained. The head
was that of a managed about 40.
Farmers of that section report many
