 At the last line the British and Ger mans are at grips on comparatively open ground, and some of the fiereest hand-to-hand fighting of the war has been going on. The enemy troops were unprepared for the attack, but they have been putting every ounce of their strength into an attempt to stem the rising tide.
 Troops have been pulled away from other points and rushed to the Cam brai sector by the desperate Germans and so hard pressed were they for men that two companies of eripples and eonvalescents were recruited has, tily at one camp and thrown into the line in the region of Masnieres.
