London, May Sin a savage attack
this morning. the brunt of which was
borne by two fresh divisions, the Ger
mans captured the village and wood Of
Fresnoy, five miles southeast of Lens
and one Of the main positions Of the
second German defensive system on the
Arras front. Hindenburg's troops
captured 200 prisoners and six machine
guns in the operation. The loss of the
positions is admitted by General Haig
in to-nights official statement.
The British meanwhile improved
their position at Bullecourt, at the
southern end Of the Drocourt-Queant
line, and appear to be on the verge of
capturing that village and rolling up
the old Hindenburg line and its branch
line at that point.
The French front was generally
quiet, although Nivele's troops ex-
tended their lines north of the Vau-
clcrc Plateau, carried out several sue
cessful raids and maintained all their
positions against violent German
counter attacks. which centred on the
Chemin- -des- Danes.
Second Attack Wins
first substantial success obtained by
HindenburS since the Battle of Arras
was opened By the British on April O.,
was scored only after two violent eff
forts against the lines held by the
Canadians at Fresnoy. In the first
assault the German troops succeeded
in gaining foothold in the British
trenches northeast of the village. but
were unable TO retain the positions
Immediately after losing their grip
on the lines the German waves re-
turned, reinforced by two fresh dvi-
sions. In the desperate encounter that
resulted the Canadians stoutly main
tanned their positions TO the north Of
the village. but were slowly compelled
to surrender their hold on the left
flank. The Germans swept into pos
session Of Fresnoy. and soon after
ward cleared the wood and adjoining
trench lines. All attempts Of the Brit
ish TO retake the positions during the
day were broken up by the raking
barrage Of fire from the enemy's bat
terics, quickly brought into action.
The recapture Of Fresnoy by the Ger
mans nullifies to large extent one Of
IL
in the successive battles of Arras. The
Dominion troops stormed the town on
MAY 3. Its capture paved the waNfor
an advance of the British on the Dro-
ourt-Queant line, which alone stood
between them and the Douai-Cambrai
defensive system. Fresnoy stands on
