"EYE WITNESS" GIVES ACCOUNT
OF BATTLE 0F'YPRES-- GERMANS
WAITED TO Make USE OF CASES

'These battalions," the narrative con-
tinues, attacked the Germans with the
bayonet and then ensued melee IN
which our men more than held their own
both sides losing heavily. One German
battalion seems to have been paraicu-
larly severely handled, it's colonel being
captured among several other prisoners.
Reinforcements Arrive
Other reinforcements were thrown In.
AS they came up when night fell the
fighting was continued by moonlight, our
troops hurting back the enemy by re-
peated bayonet charges in the course or
which our heavy guns were recaptured.
BY then the situation was somewhat re-
stored in the area Immediately north OF
Ypres. Farther to the west, however.
the enemy had forced their way over the
canal, occupying Steenstraete, and cross
ing at.Het Sas had established themselves
at various points on the west bank
In the early morning of Friday we de-
livered a strong counter-attack north
ward in cooperation with the French.
Our advance progressed for some little
distance, reaching the edge of the wood
about half miles west of st. Julien and
penetrating it.
Here our men got into the Germans
with the bayonet, and the latter suf-
fered heavily. The losses also were Sc
we're on our side, for the advance had
to be carried out across the open. But
in spite of this nothing could exceed
the dash with which it was concluded.
One mans case was typical of the
spirit shown by the troops when he
had his rifle smashed by a bullet, he
continued to fight with an entrenching
tool
About II A. NJ, not being able to
progress further our troops dug them
selves in.
Removal Of Wedge
Broadly speaking on the section of
the front then occupied by us, the re-
suit Of the operations had been to re-
move somewhat the wedge the Ger
man had driven into the allied line and
immediate danger was over. During
the afternoon, our counter attack
made further progress south OF Pilken,
thus Strengthening the line still more. "
Phe writer then tells how the Ger
mans, bringing up strong reinforce
ments land again using gas" captured
St. Julien and managed to throw sew
eral brigades across the canal. ~Fhe
British made a.strong counter attack
Sunday and while they gained some
ground, it stopped in front of the vii
lage Of st. Julien. The Germans, the
narrative adds. made repeated. attacks
against the British near Broodseyende,
backed by a tremendous artillery bonn
bardment and gas, but ,they all were
we'll driven off with great slaughter

Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-04-30

London, April 20, Ills P. M.-The
British official "eye witness" in mar
rative Of the battle of Ypres. says the
Germans had prepared to attack the
allied line on the goth, but the wind
not being favorable for their use CT
asphyxiating gas'' they postponed it
until the 22nd.
THE gas" the narrative says, was
distributed along the German front
line in front of the French position
and the wind being from the north,
1t was blown directly on the French.
The German plan, according to tn,
eye Witness was to make a sudden
onslaught southwestward, which, if
successful would enable the Germans
to gain crossings of the canal south
OF Blxschoote and place them we'll be-
hind the British line and in a posi-
ton to threaten Ypres.
Charge Success
Allowing time for the vapors to
take full effect on the troops facing
them" says the eye witness, the
Germans charged forward over the
practically unresisting enemy in their
immediate front, and penetrating
through the gap thus created pressed
on silently and swiftly to the south
and west. By their sudden charge
they were able to overrun and sur
prise a large proportion of the
French troops billeted behind the
front line in this area and to bring
some of the French guns, as we'll as
our own, under a hot rifle fire at close
range.
Our flank being thus exposed, the
troops were ordered to retire on ST.
Julien with their left flank parallel
but to the west of, the high road. The
splendid resistance of these troops
who saved the situation, already has
been mentioned by the commander in
chief.
Artillery Fire
Meanwhile, apparently waiting I'M
til their infantry penetrated well be-
hind the Allies line, the Germans OPP
ened hot artillery fire upon various
tactical points to the north Of Ypres,
the bombardment being carried out
with the ordinary high explosive
shells and shrapnel of various calibres
and also with projectiles containing
asphyxiating gas"
The ''eye witness" then tells how a
battery of field artillery which the Ger
mans had virtually surrounded fired upon
the Germans at point blank range. check
ed their rush and did not lose a gun. The
infantry meantime had withdrawn to St
Julien. Reinforcenlents finally were
brought up by officers on their own mi
tiative to meet the Germans, who by
this time were barely two miles from
Ypres.

 Believe one who has attended some of their meet nes that there were several occasions during the past year, when had there been lone Socialist ln the coun c he would have been heard in uncertain language.
 Had there been lone Socialist in the Council at the time the District Attorney ordered the row closod at least there would have been attempt to meet the e nergency other than frightened caucusa5 and furve Vs it's to the district attorney So far could see there was only public attempt at sou tion that o1 D2n Ca- anan for another ocaton No one can assert that the present state of affairs satisfactory either to the public or the former denizans oi the row.
 Had there been lone Socialist the council few weeks ago it would not have been necessary for an ousld der to ont out the unrghteouness of giving away or valuable franchise for nothing.
 While there is no doubt that lone Socialist would have embarrassed his colleagues by wantlng to know many things but the public would have known as much as he did, Among other things the public would have ,nown why some warrants for wages were good at the e Bank but warrants for school wages were not event 1ough they bore interest.

CLOSING OF OGDEN
GATEWAY IS LEGAL
Commission UphOlds Proposed Can
collation. of Through Route
and Joint Fares.
ARRANGEMENT IS VOLUNTARY

WASHINGTON. Aug. 11.-In the
so-called ogden gateway case the In
terstate Commerce commission today
held the proposed cancellation blythe
Union Pacific of through routes and
joint fares in connection with the
Denver & Rio Grande through the
Ogden gateway was fully justifieds
but suggested continuance of through
accommodations for travellers desir-
ing to pass over that route at the
lawful fares available.
The commission laid down the PROPOSE
tion that "the commission has no power
to prevent the cancellation OF through
routes and Joint rates voluntarily estab-
lished by the railroads when the circum-
stances and conditions are such as would
not warrant an order by the commission
to compel such arrangements II not al
ready in effect"
The Union Pacifio's proposal caused
widespread protests.
THE controversy" the commission
says, lis of Importance not only to the
travellers, who heretofore has been ac-
corded a free and unrestricted choice OF
routes in going TO and from PORTS
reached by the Oregon short Line. but is
important to the Denver & Rio Gran Ae

The protests contended that any
changes In the conditions under which
travel passes through Colorado Springs.
Salt Lake City and other places where
large investments have been made in
hotels and other accommodations for
tourists would mean substantial loss
TO that region and to the farming ard
fruit regions of western Colorado.
The commissions decision holds thaJ
there is no vested right in the present
