Counter Attacks
by French.

London. June German troops
captured by storm to-day 700 yards Of
British trenches southeast of Ypres,
including the ridges of the heights near
Zillebeke. Canadian troops made an
impetuous counter attack, recovering
most of the lost ground, but losing two
generals. This information was re-
ceived in a report from General Sir
Douglas Haig to the War Office to-
night.
The Germans also made further prog
ress east of the Mouse in their new
drive on Verdun, gaining ground north
east ot Fort Vaux and repulsing all
counter attacks by the French in this
sector.
The British official statement reads
Fighting OF a very severe nature
continued increasingly southwest of
Ypres, between HODGE and the Ypres-
Menino railway. Following on their
initial advantage obtained yesterday
evening in penetrating our forward line
in this neighborhood, the Germans
pushed their attack during the night
and succeeded in pushing through our
defences to a depth of 700 yards in
the direction of Zillebeke.
"The Canadian troops, however, who
are holding this sector of the defences,
launched counter strokes at o'clock
this morning, which have succeeded in
gradually driving the enemy from much
Of the ground he had gained. The
Canadians behaved with the utmost
gallantry, counter attacking success
fully after a heavy and continued bonn
bardment.
Canadian Generals Captured.
"The enemy losses were severe. A
large number of German dead were
abandoned on the recaptured ground.
Generals Mercer and Williams. of the
Third Canadian Division. who were in
specting the front trenches yesterday
during the bombardment, are missing.
Southwest of Angeres last night we
carried out a successful enterprise.
Our party entered a German trench,
disposed of the garrison above ground
and bombed five dug outs before re-
firing without loss"

developed as useful infantryman for

hard work and close application to the
rigorous duties Of a soldier. And that
wear, he says, must be spent under the
direction of officers who know how the

According to this officer, the first
month should be consumed by the
recruit in finding himself, a process
having many Of the aspects Of losing
himself. During the second month he
should be given his rifle and taught

were soldiers. Approximately fifty
shots were fired on each side, it was
said.
The shooting occurred In an isolated
district about three miles down river
from Ell Paso, known locally as the

company was doing border patrol duty
in this district, one-third of the sixty
