After subjecting the positions from
the east of Hebuterne southwark to a
violent artillery pounding-the four
teenth day of drum fire to which the
Ancre lines have been subjected-the
British infantry attacked heavily be-
fore Serre and all along the line to
Gueudecourt. The British tempted for
tune again toward noon with an attack
on a smaller scale. concentrating their
efforts against the narrow sector of the
front between LIE SarS and Gueudecourt
and gained footing in the German
lines at one point.
Late in the afternoon saw another
broad attack on this front. followed by
smaller pushes. continuing until night
fall.
The day also was noteworthy for a
violent bombardment from guns from
the heaviest caliber against the Ger
man front at Frelinghien, a few miles
northwest of Lille, and it appeared as
if something important was in prepa-
ration in that sector

rear of which two additional divisions
were kept in reserve for strategic ex-
pansion of the operation on breaking

the Germans the Beauregard farm was
mentioned as one of the objects of the
attack. This proves that the enemy

GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS
ACCUSED Of TREACHERy
Actions "Unspeakable," According
to Official Statement Issued
in Canada.
By the Associated Press.

OTTAWA, Ont, November 1S.-Cana-
dian soldiers have learned to treat with
good nature and trust the privates cap
tured from the ranks of their German
adversaries. but the Teuton officers
have gained a reputation for unspeak-
able treachery," according to an official
communique issued here by the Cana
! dian war records office, describing in
detail the taking of the Regina trench
by Dominion troops at midnight of
November 10, after forty-eight hours
artillery bombardment.
Instances of this treachery are all
too numerous the statement says
The following must suffice Is speci-
men of the breed we are out to sup
press. One of our captains in lull in
the fighting found Prussian officer
lying desperately wounded, bleeding to
death. He knelt down under heavy shell
fire and gave his enemy first aid
bandaging his wounds that he
could be moved. Then he turned away
to get the stretcher bearers. The mo-
ment his back was turned the German
propped himself up on his elbow. drew
Il bomb from his pocket. and threw it
! with deadly aim. The Canadian officer
was blown to pieces The Prussian evil
IDENTIFY thought his vilIainy would pass
unobserved in the confusion of fly
ing death. but several of our men had
seen the whole affair and he paid the
penalty.
Do Not Find Amiable Greeting.
1T is not strange. therefore. if the
German officer when captured does not
always find quite so amiable recep-
ton greets his rank and fle''
The victory in gaining the Regina
trench is described as "A very smart
and complete one, well rounded off,
with no ragged edges to give trouble
afterward and securing to us a desired
post of vantage. Moreover. it was
gained and held at relatively small
cost The number of unwounded pris-
oners was small-something over fifty
but included three officers" The state
ment says that this victory confirmed
the men in sense of dominance over
their opponents, whom with lofty
anna bility and a subtle assurance of
supremacy they call "Fritzy' The
communiaue concludes with the dec
Iaration That in the temper behind
such attitude dwells the certainty
of triumph"
