ance, a hopeless kind Of struggle.
Sooner or later that unceasing stream
of men issuing out of the narrow de-
| file must sweep us back. Always the
enemy returned TO the charge, unde.
| TERED by heavy losses, undismayed by
our deadly guns and magazine fire.
''In the end we gave the enemy his
dearly bought line of trenches and
| slowly fell back to our second line Of
positions, where the remainder of the
division joined us and helped TO beat
off the sustained attacks, which lacked
uaught in violence All day the Bull
gars alternately bombarded and
charged us. There semed to be thou
| sands and thousands Of them. They
gave us no rest at night. Wherever
we stood they rained an unceasing
fusillade of shell upon us and followed
each rafale up with a determined in
fantry attack
"Outnumbering the Tenth division
in the proportion of at least eight to
one, they were obstinately bent on its
destruction at whatever cost to them
selves Their artillery far exceeded
ours in weight of metal, but in effec-
tiveness there was no comparison. AL
most all our shells told, while many Of
theirs did no more than splinter the
rocks yards away. So Monday, Decem-
ber G, was passed with the Tenth di-
vision nightly pressed but still well
able to hold its own. Tuesday, the
7th, was an exact replica of the pre-
vious day
Tenth Held Its Own.
The Bulgars heavily bombarded our
line; then sent forward strong storm
ing parties before whom we recoiled
a little, but no more. The division
never lost it's cohesion, and it gave
ground only at the rate of two miles a
day, which is a proof, if any were
needed, of the splendid rear-guard ac-
tion that this much-outnumbered force
fought. Our artillery kept them in
sufficient check to give us all the res
pite we needed, and the rifle fire Of the
different regiments bit gaping wounds
in the enemy mass that helped to
throw them into temporary confusion.

is a great believer in the German
method Of attack. lie reckons no loss
in men is too gr"ot If the objective be

was the decimation of the Tenth d.
vision, and under his orders the Bull
gars charged and charged until the
snowdrifts over which the battle was
fought was black with the recumbent
forms of his men.
