to fierce French and British counter
attacks.

follows
AT p. NJ. on April II seven mines
were exploded simultaneously under the
German trenches. The sandbags which
covered the German trenches and para
pets disappeared completely and the en-
tire surface of the ground assumed
strange shapes following the explosion.
IL was torn into huge craters where the
falling debris formed great mounds as
the reports OF the explosions died away
and dense columns OF smoke and dust
still hung in the air Meanwhile our
men, led by their officers, sprang from
their trenches and rushed across the in
tervening space, a distance OF from forty
to sixty yards. between our line and the
gaping craters caused by the eNplo-
sions.
The front covered by the attack was
no more than $50 yards long. The Ger
man soldiers. however. were taken by
surprise. Many OF them were In their
shirt sleeves and without their fight
ing equipment. They were stunned by
, the violence OF the explosion and while
still bewildered were subjected to rain
of hand grenades thrown by our men.
They gave way to panic. cursing. shout
ing and falling over each other in their
wild dash to reach the exit OF the
trenches. Some In the rear, maddened
by terror, were driving their bayonets
/ into the bodies OF their comrades.

Pride Of German ms stirred.

The Germans adopted much the same
policy In this reverse as they did in the
case OF the unsuccessful attack at St
Eloi--a policy of direct falsehood. 1t Is
probable that the desperate efforts to re-
take the hill were inspired not only by
the intrinsic value OF the position. but
by fear of the personal consequences to
the Generals concerned II they failed.
The fate of the Bavarian Generals
responsible for the unsuccessful action
at ST. Elo supports this view. The
corps commander and both divisional
commanders on that occasion were
placed on the retired list.
The troops which opposed us at Hill
60 were composed partly Of Saxons and
partly OF men recruited from all over
Germany.
The chief event which has occurred
elsewhere on our front is an aerial raid
made on April ~ against German

GERMANS BAYONETED BY
COMRADES IN WILD DASH
British Official Eyewitness Gives Detailed Account Of
Triumph of Kings Soldiers in Face of Tremen-
dous Fire and at Heavy Cost

Germans left on the hill were a few
bomb throwers who still chung to the
northeastern edge.
THE bombardment Of the hill contin-
ued throughout the morning and after
noon. From three directions high ex-
plosive shells and projectiles filled with
asphyxiating gases were rained upon
the defenders. The Germans brought up
field guns within close range OF our
position. In the evening the cannonade
diminished and our infantry intrenched
themselves firmly on the captured posi-
tons.
4 Historical Exploit.
"The attack and defence of Hill 60
will go down In history among the finest
exploits performed by British troops dur
ing the war. Officers who experienced the
bombardment prior TO the attack OF the
Prussian Guard on November II and
also underwent that directed against
Hill 60 state that the latter was by far
the worse of the two.
THE space fought over on the four
and a half days between the 18th and
the 2lst Of April was only about 25O
yards by about 200 yards In depth. on
that small area the enemy for hours
hurled tons of metal and high explo-
sives. At time the hilltop was wreathed
with clouds OF poisonous fumes. yet our
gallant infantry did not give way. but
stood firm under fire which swept
away whole sections at a time and filled
the trenches with dead. Bodies 30 en-
numbered the approaches TO the front
line that reenforcements could not reach
1t without having 10 climb over the pros
trate forms Of fallen comrades.
The losses naturally were heavy, but
