with the 8ritish Army,

The capture of Messines and
Wytschaete has been a terrible
blow to the Germans and at the
time ! write, demora1ized by de-
feat he is recognizing his forces
and getting his guns into safer DO
sitions.
Many of his guns lie battered
and buried about the battlefield.
and some of his batteries, put out
of action by our bombardment, re-
main between our new lines and
his, but so covered by our fire that
he has a poor chance of getting
them away.
HIS losses in guns. trench mortars
and machine-guns must be alarming to
him, for I have no doubt at all, after
seeing the frightful effect of our bou,-
bardment, that these were destroyed on
great scale, so that the number of
our trophies will not at all represent
his actual loss in weapons and material
of war.
BOILING OIL AND GAS SHELLS
1t is the human mechanical side of
things. More horrible to the unfortu-
nate soldiers of the German army is the
devilish punishment inflicted upon them
during the past ten days, eliminating
on that day of battle when the weapons
for the slaughter of men, from the
heaviest of high explosives to boiling
oil and gas shells, was let loose upon
them in one great tempest OF desrruc-
tion which blew, them out of the earth
and off the earth and frizzled them and
blinded them. and choked them, and
mutilated them. and made them mad.
BELIEVED THEY WERE BETRAYED.
One German boy. not more than is
years of age-a child was found yess
terday lying in a shell-hole by the side
of a dead man who had been shot
through the temple. and he was a glib
bering idiot through fear. Not the only
one. German officers say that many of
their men went raving mad under the
strain of our bombardmenr and tried
to kill their comrades or themselves, or
fell into an ague of terror. clawing their
mouths, with all the symptoms Of the
worst shell shock.
Many of our prisoners believe they
were betrayed, and were sacrificed cold
ly and deliberately by their higher
command. Before the battle an order
of the day was issued to them, telling
them to hold out if surrounded and fight
their way back with the bayonet, be-
cause behind them would be fresh di-
visions ready to support immediate
counter-attacks. Those fresh divisions
never appeared. We know that they
had no chance of getting near our lines
because of our far-reaching fire. and
Messines and wytschaete and all the
ground south of st. Eloi were cut off
and captured, if they did not die

getting away their guns than in pro-
tecting their troops. and they were left
