Is, will be redeemed Dec. II. both
issues at par with accrued inter
est. This arrangement will leave
only the $685., 100000 issue to be
paid Dec. Is.
The secretary decided TO call in
the two issues before their maturity
when il became evident that the
aggregate amount Of the payments
Nov. Is. on Liberty loan subscrip-
tons in cash, credit and treasury
certificates was about $4,000 O1O.
three and a half times more than

l.. ESCaut canal at lock. The small
German garrison fought bitterly TO
retain Masnieres. The whole place
was undermined with dugouts in
which the enemy was hidden with
machine guns but the Germans were
forced 10 give up this place after a
sanguinary struggle, although some
of chem were still holding out in the
cellars today.
Marcoing was taken with small
resistance on the part Of the enemy
and this gave the British a second
crossing of the canal. The advanc-
ing troops forced a passage here at
TIE came hour as Masnieres was
entered The Masnieres- Beaurois
trench line north of Masnieres ap-
parently had been reinforced by
Germans from Cambria and this
front held up the advance temper
auly with rifle and machine gun fire
5Jt the British alternately forced
the Germans from the trenches in
hand to hand lighting.
German Lines StifFen.
German resistance on the first
whole and they surrendered freely
in many places. Yesterday their
lines stiffened and hard lighting
followed. German endorsements
from Lens and the two companies
of invalids already mentioned were
thrown into the line.
The first counter attack came over
the ridge from the northeast of
Masnieres. The enemy advanced in
massed formation as in the early
days of the war. The British had
concentrated a large number Of
machine guns at this point and were
hoping for a counter attack They
permitted the enemy TO advance to
within a thousand yards of the line
before they opened fire. Then the
machine guns and artillery were
turned on the Germans and they
were smashed in a whitening storm.
At l o'clock an attack on Marco
ing was attempted by the enemy,
but as in the former case they were
caught in a heavy artillery and ma
chine gun fire and they turned back
after suffering severely.
Battle for Two Hours.
An hour later another body Of
Germans advanced on Noyelles,
which was held by one company of
British troops Here some Of the
stiffest lighting of the battle took
place at close quarters. Both sides
rushed up reinforcement and for two
hours the battle surged back and
| forth through the streets and among
the buildings. IL was a melee in
which the bayonet played the prin-
cipal part. The Germans fought
/ well, but they were not good enough
/ 10 withstand the fury of the British
| assault, and gradually they were
| forced back across the canal 10 the
| east.
Among the prisoners taken by the
British were several officers who
were caught in the regimentaI head
| quarters. The regimental com
mander was captured and il is re-
/ ported that his advent into the
| British lines was particularly
| humorous spectacle He came
tramping back clad in an elaborate
| fur coat, followed by two servants
who carried more Of his dnery. He
was swearing mad at the turn Of

threw him almost into a frenzy and
| the lurid language which he direct
| ed at the British drew a smile from
even the hardened Tommy.

First Battle For Many.

The performance OF the tanks
was the more remarkable because
there was only a short time 10 pre-
pare for their use. Some Of the
tanks were veterans, but many had
never been in an engagement be-
fore. and the crews lacked actual
lighting experience. Moreover. II was
necessary to train the infantry 10
cooperate with them. All this was
accomplished in a very few weeks.
In addition a great amount of
work was done 10 get the tanks in
10 position and bring forward their
fuel Many hundred tons of petrol
were brought up secretly and stor-
ed pending the attack. II was done
so quietly that few soldiers in the
territory involved knew what was
proceeding.
Advance Impressive Sight.
The advance OF the tanks. with
their general leading the way in a
monitor flying his flag. was the most
impressive sight imaginable. For
miles they were lined up along the
British front, and when they start
ed forward IL was like a great cere-
monial parade.
The stiffest hghting was az Latcau
woods south Of Masnieres. There
the tanks engaged a number OF
German field and heavy guns and
won the day against them. one
tank deliberately charged a SO inch
gun and cleaned out its crew with
I its machine guns.
II Tanks i'm One Charge.
