LIKE THE MESSINES BATTLE.
Was the Attack by Germans on Belgian
Coast.

British Headquarters in France, Jul.
1.-THE German attack along the sant
dunes of the Belgian coast on Tuesda.
evening was in nearly all respects min
iature of the British attack on the Mes
sines ridge on June I, 1t seemed as i
the Germans had studied that battle il
detail and planned their thrust wholly
upon the lessons learned. There was q
vast difference in the size of the two
operations, however, for while the Ger
man attack of Tuesday was limited tc
l 400 yards. the British charge at Mes
snes was along a lo-mile front.
The depth of the two attacks was also
in the ratio of ten to one, the Germans
having advanced only about 600 yards
or to the British support line, where they
are now endeavoring to entrench them
selves, while the British have fallen back
| to the west bank of the User.
This little battle on the sands of Elan
ders will live largely through the valor-
GUS defense of the English troops, who
met the shock of the German massed
formations, after having their protecting
defenses blown to pieces about them by
the greatest concentration of German
shell fire seen on this front in more
than a year. The trenches dug among
the blowing and shifting sand dunes
were speedily obliterated by the storm
of high explosive shells the Germans were
able to pour upon them.
Most of the shells were the famous So
centimetre projectiles and upward, few
field guns having come into play. Dur
ing the terrific bombardment which last
ed all through Tuesday, the Notifications
recently taken over by the British could
fairly be seen to dissolve.
The German lines TO the river User
and the sea formed a triangle, the base
of which was the coast line. In this
angle, the sands of which are now
dyed red with English blood, were North
ampton troops and Kings Royal rifles.
The garrison fought to the death, and
the German report of 1850 prisoners
taken cannot be correct.
The temporary bridges across the User
had been blown to bits during the bar
rage fire, and the British troops which |
eventually escaped across the river had
to swim the stream.
There were some who could not swim,
and for them ropes were stretched across
the stream.
The systematic artillery preparation
BY the shifting of the fire curtain from
one line to another and then back again,
the cooperation of airplanes and the
steady advance of the German attacking
waves, all occurred in a way which sug-
rested British attack turned the wrong
way about.
One of the most bitter incidents of
he attack occurred in a tunnel where
he English had taken refuge from the
leavy artillery fire. The Germans at
acked with bombs and poured liquid fire
nto il. The place was not surrendered,
However, until the last Of the garrison
lad been wiped out.
One wounded sergeant who swan the
User reported that when he left his bat
alton headquarters the officers there
rere surrounded BY Germans, but were
chting TO the death with revolvers and
small store Of bombs.

 State Can't Take Road.
 Although a great agitation has been in evidence to have the state take over the road extending from the Berlin railroad station to the East Berlin line, State Highway Commis- sioner Charles J. Bennett yesterday stated that this would be impossible. The commissioner made it known that trunk lines are the only ones that can be taken over by the state and as this road is not a trunk line, part, if not all of the expense of keeping the highway in repair, will have to be l borne by the town Commissioner Bennett said that if a petition was sent in requesting the state aid in keeping the road in repair, and if granted, the state would pay three 1 fourths of the cost of repair and np- keep while this town would only have to pay the remaining fourth. It is
 possible that the petition will be cir culated within a few days and after a
 sufficient number of signatures have
 been secured it will be forwarded to 1 Hartford.
