TERRIFIC ATTACK
MADE BY GERMANS
RECAINS TREN ]
Canadians Forced to Aba
don position at AviOn Taken
by Them Friday .
BRITISH AT SAME TIME
RETAKE LOST POSITION
~
HOnOrs Easy On French Front
---Austrians Force Italians
to Give Back
By William Philip simms

(United Press staff correspondent
With the British Armies in the Field
June 4.-Canadian troops were back
today in the same trenches they occu-
pied last Friday, after a victory and
defeat around Avion.
The Prussians Sunday afternoon re-
took the electric light station east OF
Avion in mad fury of attack that to-
tally disregarded losses inflicted upon
them. They thus undid all the work
which the Canadians had accomplished
Saturday in obtaining control of that
spot.
Throughout Sunday the enemy kept
mp q terrific bombardment along the
front of 1900 yards on which the Cana
dians had made their advance. The
fire was so intense that late Sunday it
was decided to withdraw the British
forces to their previous position.
At the moment when this plan was
being carried out the Prussians launch
ed their attack. Despite the British
barrage, reinforced by strong machine
gun fire, which the Canadians kept
pouring into the advancing ranks. the
enemy kept coming on in waves A
hand to hand struggle ensued. The Brit
ish slipped backward in their with
drawal, stopping at the line of trenches
the had occupied on Friday.
Fight Was in the Open
So perfeet was this British withdraw
al that the Canadians took ll2 prison
ers with them-ninety of them being
unwounded.
The German victory in this localized
fight was made possible largely by the
flat topography of the country. Around
south of Lens there are no covering
ridges. Saturday the Canadians had
taken the electric light station and
a brick yard. The ruins of these build
ings and of scattered brick houses were
the only screens available. In their ar
tillery preparation the Canadians had
levelled the German trenches around
there and destroyed even the small
cover of the ruins Therefore, when the
German attack came the Canadians had
to defend themselves in what was prac'
tically an open field.
British artillery was active at num-
Der of points on the front today. The
prolonged inactivity of infantry is
broken, however, only by such local en-
gagements as that by which the Cana
dams pushed forward Saturday. Such
tactics by the British army chiefs
have apparently set the Germans
nerves on edge. Their communiques
keen warning the home folks that Brit
ish offensive may be expected and
their troops opposite the British are
easily excited, firing nervously at the
slightest sign of movement

Ashes and smoke were carried
