BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, May l1.--(Nia London.
3:l5 p. m.)-While there is no general
battle in progress, intensely bitter
fighting has flared up at various Sec
tions on the British line from the
vicinity of Lens almost to the south
of st. Quentin. Much of this IS due to
the desperate attempts of the Ger
mans to retake some of their old po-
sitions. They still are hurlirg fresh
reinforcements day and night into the
conflict which ever Is becoming more
sanguinary.
Terrible Weapon Useless.
The Germans have rescrted again
to the use of liquid fire in their most
recent attacks. but even that barbaric
weapon has failed them. 1t has been
employed several times in the tragic
fighting which has ragged about Bulle-
court in the past ten days. This village
and the sections of the lIindenburg
line which adjoln has been the storm
center of the war during this period
along the British front.
The Germans appear absolutely
frantic in their efforts to hold the
northern half of the village of Bulle-
court and TO oust the Australians from
their grim hold on the Hindenburg
line n short distance to the east, The
fighting here has been marked by all
the more terrible devices of war, for

Even Use ofLiquid Fire Fails Teuton
Attackers in Lunge at British Forces

in addition to liquid fire, gas has been
used time after time, boiling oil has
been thrown and hand grenades, rifle
srenades, trench mortar and every
character and caliber of artillery has
been employed.
Like Men of Iron.
The Australians have held their
ground like men of iron, however,
and the losses inflicted upon the at
tacking force have been as heavy as
any in the most bitter battle OF the
SonSne. Late last night the Germans
delivered a number of heavy attacks
from Gavrelle all along the line as far
north as the Souchez river. They were
repulsed everywhere. Just south of the
river they made three different at
tempts against British positions dur
ing the last of which liquid fire was
used in great quantities. These flam-
ing torches, projecting in a roaring
blaze $50 feet in front of the Germans.
made n terrifying spectacle under the
cloud banked sky, but they did little
or no fighting. There was heavy
fighting this morning around la
Coulette. Just west of Avion, where
the British had made a material ad-
vance. Near Arleux the Germans made
II severe attack. All their assaults are
now preceded by the heaviest artil-
lery preparations which the Germans
have ever employed. but many OF
their guns are silenced by the British
batteries.
