PARIS, July 26.-The fighting in the

the British and Germans is described
as follows by an officer who was
wounded during the struggle:
Early Sunday morning at the mo-
ment the signal for the attack was
given, after frightfully intense bonn
bardment. the English infantry rushed
forward to the entrance of the village,
carried it brilliantly and occupied the
first houses At 1880 o'clock the Ger
mans counter-attacked. Their onset
was extraordinary, doubtlessly be-
cause their courage had been stimu-
lated by ether, as one could tell from
the odor.
Here the rife played no part-the
knife, bayonet. revolver and grenade
were the only weapons used. The Ger
mans employed a sort of long handled
mace studded with nails such as an
Apache might use, not a soldier.
