Field Marshal Sir Douglas HAig is pre-

GUM. Aug. 2i.-The fierce battle which
began at dawn to-day on the outskirts
Of tho city Of Lens continued through
out the day at close quarters and late
this afternoon there was no diminution
in the intensity Of the struggle between
the attacking Canadians and the Ger
mans.
The Canadians this morning fouxht
their way forward with bonnie and
bayonets and occupied important enemy
defences northwest and southwest OF
the heart Of the city. and since then the
Germans have been sending in wave
after wave Of infantry In desperate
counter attacks.
The Canadians have held strongly and
the Germans have suffered very heavy
casualties, as they must have expected
from the nature Of their counter thrust
IN which no thought Is given to the cost
IN life.
Tho striking feature Of the battle lies
in the fact that the Germans also had

Of Lens and had actually started their
advance. when they were surprised by
