British Army Headquarters in France.
Dec. 3.-British troops last night re-
occupied a section of a trench on the
high ground south of Bourbon village on
the Cambria front, which was lost on
Friday. The town of Masnieres, which
was evacuated by the British. was she'll
ed last night by British artillery.
1t is estimated that the Germans had
about twenty divisions for their assault
on Friday. which. except for the first
Ypres, is regarded as having been their
heaviest attack on the British.
The Germans attacked the British po-
sitions at La Vacquerie, southwest of
Cambria, at S:45 o'clock this morning,
and an hour later it was reported that
they had been successfully beaten off.
Today's attack followed three futile at
tempts made by the enemy to take this
village yesterday afternoon.

With the British Forces in Pales-
tine, April 26.-After twelve
Eonths of incessant toll in the Sinai
desert, sometimes fighting hard, al
ways digging, making military
works, building railways, construct
ing pipe lines and roads, and forever
marching over the inhospitable
wastes, the British troops have at
last come into the Promised land,
says the story of the British official
eyewitness with the expedition.
What a marvellous change Of
scene, Behind them is a hundred
miles and more of monotonous sand
blazing and shimmering under a tor
rid sun, with here and there group
of Palms to relieve the sameness of
the desert. Behind them, too, is the
into,erable glare of the MONDAY sun,
which is never softened except when
the khamseen lifts the dust and
d SIlNtD liiO uSn W hlNl liat
sun appears as during an eclipse.
Eut the sandstone is worse tor
ment than the penetrating rays, for
il brings additional heavy labor to
men with parched threats and
scorched skins.
The British troops in the deser'
column are now free from these try
ing conditions. They are in Pales-
tine. Before them, as far as the
eye can reach. is unfolded a picture
OF transcending beauty When the
troops from the desert come up over
the ridge to Rata and look out over
the bollowy downs, they invariably
Hreak into rounds Of cheers.
Before and around them every
thing is green and fresh with the
ereenness and freshness of spring
time. Big patches of barley. for
which the plain south Ct GAIA is
fsnous, shone like emeralds, and the
immense tracts of pasture are as
bright and warm as the rolling
downs of Berkshire There is an
abundance of gorgeous flowers light
ing up the vivid greenness of the
rain as If in welcome to the on
coming army. The effect of this
scene on troops who have become
desert veterans can better be mag
ined than described.
Beyond Rata, reconnaissance par
ties may see the high minaret of Ga
trees enclosing the town. The
nosfue was formerly a Christian
church built by the knights Templar
In the twelfth century when the Cru
saders fortified themselves within
Gaza's walls.
