John Brigbts sublime figure of the
Angel Of Death has passed into a
commonplace OF journalism, and
the splendid passage Of his other
speech against the Crimean war is
almost equally well known from the
opening words: II am not, nor did
I ever pretend to be, statesman"
to the peroration: And, even IL I
were alone, II my voice were the
solitary one raised amid the din of
arms and the clamors of venal
press, SHOULD have the consolation
have tonight-and which / trust
will be mine to the last moment Of
my existence-the priceless consola-
ton that / have never uttered one
word that could promote the squan-
dering of my country's treasure or
the splitting of one single drop of my
country's blood"

There was no element of surprise In
our success" says the officer. al
though the actual advance came Sat
urday, we knew Of tho plan on the pre-

artillery operations on Tuesday. The
Germans must have known what was
up as soon as we began systematic
wire cutting operations along the ex-

tables on us by firing into our wire
but they didn't have half enough guns
or ammunition to keep up the pace we
set.
Smash German Defenses.
ION Tuesday began the work of wire
cutting and parapet pounding. Eight
een-pounders with shrapnel and how
itzers with high explosives started at
dawn and continued throughout the
day, systematically smashing the Ger
man defenses. At night the Germans
came out to repair the damage. but
were swept back by the most prodigal
use Of machine gunfire.

was wonderful. 1t was noticeable that
the Germans already were husbanding
their ammunition, making only feeble
reply. and their guns were palpably
inferior in number and strength to
ours. Wednesday night repair work
again was attempted with tremendous
German losses. Thursday was the same
story.
