8 SQUARE
MILES In
NEW GAIN

Omitted Press Leased Wtre.)
LONDON, Sept. 22.-Powerful
German counter attacks at dusk
yesterday penetrated Field Mar
shall Haig's newly won positions
in the Ypres-Menin sector east
of st. Julien, the British COM
mander-in-chief reported today.
The German gain was short
lived, however. British troops
made local attacks which were
successful in ousting the enemy
from their desperately won posi-
tons.
Today Field Marshal Haig re-
ported every inch of his newly
advanced line held intact. The
fighting turnout was of the fierc-
est character. Picked German
troops made the assault despite
tremendous rain of shells and
machine gun fire.
The net results of the British
drive to date, as officials summed
up today, were about eight square
miles of territory reclaimed, g.
900 prisoners taken, unusually
heavy casualties inflicted on the
enemy and an impressive demon
stration of artillery superiority
which may be expected to have
its effect on the German morale.
The fighting of the past two
days took heavy tolls of Ger
many's picked troops.
Gen. Haig had advertised his
intention of attacking thru a
weeks artillery preparation. The
Germans responded to this invita-
tion by concentration of carefully
selected storm troops" to bear
the brunt of counter attacks by
which they hoped to retrieve ini-
tial British gains.
Many of these picked units,
held behind the front lines, were
caught in the tremendous Brit
ish barrage fire and decimated.
The remainder were those whose
fierce assaults were beaten back
last night by the British.
