perately furious hand to
hand encounters following terrific
artillery barrage with enormous
casualties to both sides are re-
ported in the official report of
yesterdays engagements re-
ceived last night from British
Headquarters In France. Glen
corse wood was the scene.
Desiring positions in the south
east portion Of the woods from
which they had been driven and
which gave a wider and more ex-
tended view Of the surrounding
country because of their eIeva-
lion, the Teutons opened up a
terrific artillery fire and behind
this barrage the infantry ad-
Vanced to a counter attack. The
British artillery and machine
guns replied with vigor and the
casualties To- the enemy were
very heavy.
FIGHT BACK FlEBCELY
Desperately the Britons resist
ed the infantry advance, battling
fiercely and meeting bayonet
charges with bayonets and club
bed guns but they were forced
to withdraw, slowly and in good
order. Finally they halted and
made a determined stand in the
northwest portion Of the wood
and here they checked the Hun
advance and held their positions
at that point when dusk fell.
GERMAN COUNTER FAILS
At West Hoek Ridge there was
another engagement which ri
vailed that in Glencorse wood in
its sanguinary character but
there the Huns were driven back.
The British retain the positions
which they took Friday. To Sc
cure these the Teutons countered
heavily but unayailingly.A Here
also there were bayonet charges
and hand to hand encounters but
the machine gun fire of the Brit
ons was terribly effective and
moved down long ranks Of the
charging foes. IA. ..,.,.'...
The French succeeded after a
heavy artillery fire yesterday
morning in driving out the Ger
mans and proceeded to reoccupy
the last of the positions which
they lost on Wednesday.
In other parts of Flanders no
infantry engagements were re-
ported and a continuance of
rains and lowering clouds effect
|ually checked further progress.

Germans were all repulsed.
