LONDON, Aug. 3.-Fighting as
much against an engulfing sea of
mud as against the enemy, Brit
ish troops were still consolidating
their gains by local attacks today.
The weather was slightly inn
proved, but massed infantry ac-
tons were practically out of the
question.
The artillery therefore was in
voked to continue the pounding of
the German line.
Early today further counter at
tacks by German picked forces
were thrown back at several
points along the line where high
ground permitted some freedom
from the unending mud of the
Flanders fields.
With last nights attacks in the
Ypres-Roulers sector the Germans
have launched at least five as
saults to attempt re-capture of
this ground.
A German drive against Infan-
try Hill. east of Monchy-le-Preux,
was successful, in part, Field Mar

temporarily held positions of the

Terrible Mistake!
Germans Attack
School Graduation

on the northeastern slope of Mount
| Gormillet.
The Germans still held one OBJ
servatory on this side of the ridge
and the graduates were to demon
strate their fitness to pass from
the school period of new infantry
tactics into that of actual war, by
storming and capturing the OBJ
servatory.
The last preparations for the as
sault were being made when Just
a half hour before the attack was
scheduled, the Germans suddenly
launched an attack of their own
against the trench being held by
the grenade graduates. 1t is
doubtful if a bigger piece of "pie"
was ever offered to Frances in
fantry specialists.
Only Four Prisoners.
Loaded to the teeth as they
we're with grenades and NUM-
lions for their own attack, they
merely laid back in their trench
until the German assaulting col
umn was within stones throw and
then opened up with all the per-
fected weapons of modern infan-
try tactics. In less than two min
utes there was not a German left
standing.
Altho Is was still all of Is min
utes before the grenade graduates
were scheduled to launch their
own graduating attack, the mo-
ment was too propitious, and they
went over the French rampant,
across the dead bodies of the as
saulting troops and captured the
last remaining German observatory
on Mount Cornillet in precisely the
manner they had been taught to
do 1t at the school of new infantry
tactics.
Only four prisoners were taken
by the graduates-and all four of
these wounded.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN CHAMPAGNE, July 10 tBy
mail.-This is the sorry story OF a
German battalion that made the
regrettable error on June FL OF
attacking graduating class OF
the French Grenade school just at
the moment when the graduates
were all lined up for their final
graduating exercises.
When the French grenade grad
yates had succeeded in imposing
tranquility on the part OF the
Germans until their graduating ex-
ercises could be completed-200
Germans dead could be counted on
the field of operations, whilst the
French lines on a 600-meter front
had been advanced 300 meters.
The graduates had three killed
and II wounded as their total
losses.
When a class has completed its
full course of instruction at one of
these schools, 1t is taken to the
front line trenches and for its ex-
ercises makes an attack on the
Germans-usually for the purpose
of capturing a trench, observatory
or some small fortified position.
A Deadly Glass.
It was one of these graduating
classes that was in the act of un-
dergoing its final graduating ex-
ercises that the Germans acct
dentally attacked. The class con-
sisted of grenade throwers and
portable machine gun marksmen,
together with a few rifle grena-
der, baby cannon sharpshooters
and bayonet experts. In all, the
class numbered less than 100.
They had just taken up their
positions in the front line trenches

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, Aug. 3.-An 1S-
year-old war baby" making his
first flight alone over enemy ter
ritory. was awarded the palm"
today among England's airmen for
sheer audacity in the amazing list
of aerial exploits heralding the
opening of the Flanders offensive.
The youngster swept far over
the enemy territory, then swooped
back, flying within a few feet of
the ground. He spied a detach-
msnt of German infantry crossing
a bridge and promptly let loose
with his machine gun.
Utterly disregarding the hail of
rifle fire they turned upon him,
he circled back and forth, barely
over their heads, his machine gun
rafting. away.
Attacks Officer.
He saw four or five corpses be-
fore the Germans gave way and
sought shelter In nearby bitches.
The airman snooped around a
little more, found his quarry too
well covered up-and then winged
blithely on his way.
Next he swooped over an open
motor car on wide road, letting
loose his machine gun fire at an
officer in the tonneau.
The machine turned into side
road and its driver opened wide
the throttle.
Wins Duel.
The officer turned against his
adversary, a few feet aloft and be-
gan firing with his automatic re-
volver.
The war baby" felt he would
not be so unsportsmanlike as to
return the officers feeble pistol
fire with his machine gun, so no
stopped the latter and from the
air staged revolver duel with the
flying enemy.
Suddenly the automobile was
TANNED to a stop. The British
plane, SO feet above and Is feet
behind, could not stop. but the
aviator hurriedly circled back.
Then he saw his adversary be-
ing hurriedly dragged into a
house.
Meanwhile, a perfect rain of
anti-aircraft shells and machine
gun bullets spat all about the
plane. The pilot twirled around a
few times, shot up into the skies,
disappeared into the clouds and by
and by came home unframed.
Fly Low.
Nearly all OF the aerial fighting
on the day of aviation wonders of
which the foregoing was just an
incident, was at attitudes of less
than 200 feet.
The clouds hung so low that
flying had to be at this level il
the aviators expected to see any
thing. One fight close to the

chies."
The same pilot machine gunned
two German officers riding along
a road on horseback and later dis
persed a column of 200 troops
and crashed down one of two en-
envy planes that rose to do him
battle.
Then he swooped back to let his
machine gun fire play death in a
crowd of Germans who had es-
sembled around the wreck of the
German plane.
