the advancing enemy. Each day sees
thousands of German prisoners taken
Nv the allies, while attrition in the
ra 7ks of the German forces is declared
to be terrible. Particularly has this
been so in the direction of Chaulnes,
where German commanders are de-
clared to have launched as high as
thirteen attacks against the French in
massed formation. This movement Of
fered excellent chances for the thou
sands of French machine guns lying In
wait, and piles of German dead are de-
clared to have been left on the field
after the attacks had definitely proved
fruitless and had been given up by the
Teutonic generals.
The fighting which has been proceed

OF obstinate character and 1t was only
by the most desperate attacks that the
British took this point and Guillemont

in the general direction of Thiepval has
