 Only 3S0 Germans were holding the town and all except few left in the cellars withdrew five minutes before the British entered With the civil ians who greeted the British were two German soldiers, one from Alsace and the other from Lorraine, who had de- serted and were waiting to give them selves up to the British, with whom they sympathized.
 During the three years of their cap tiv:ty the civilians were fed by the American relief committee. Att other food was requisitioned by the Ger mans. who placed heavy penalties on those who concealed any. Many per sons served terms in Jail for alleged violation of the orders. They were well fed, however, owing to American relief, and all appeared healthy.

 The Germans stripped all the houses of the town of their furniture as soon as they entered. All men of military age were arrested and sent to Ger many Women were compelled to do all manner of work, such as sweeping streets, washing clothes of German officers and waiting on officers.
 The mayor declared his belief that Germany was actually starving He said there seemed to be no doubt ci- vilians in Germany were undergoing great hardships.
 Among the refugees was a man of military age who had hidden in a eel lar three years to escape the Germans and had been fed by his wife with an extra ration of food allowed her be- cause she had baby. This man would have been arrested and sent to a prison camp as soon as the Germans entered the town. He did not want to leave his wife and baby and so hid in secret place in the callar, thereby making himself liable to the dt.th penalty if detected. German officers came to live in his house and daily he heard them tramping about above him. In accordance with the custom, this house and all others were searched frequently to see if any one was con cealed, but the Germans never diseov- cred his hiding place.

FRENCH CHECK GERMANS
Teutonic Effort To Retake Ground on
 Aisne Fails.

Paris.-Another German attempt to recapture ground taken by the Bremen in their recent attack on the Aisne front was checked by the French fire, the war office reports. The statement follows:
 Active artillery fighting continues in the sectors of Cerny and Juvin- court. In this region our fire checked an enemy attack against the positions on our left, which we captured on November 21.
 Our patrols in operations near the Ailette brought back prisoners and in fiicted losses on the enemy. Northwest of Rheims and in the Champagne raids on our small posts were without re- suit. On the right bank of the Mouse the artillery fighting continued in a spirited manner during the night There is nothing to report from the remainder of the front"

Both sides rushed up re-enforcements and for two hours the battle ragged through the streets and among the buildings. It was a melee in which the bayonet played the principal part The Germans fought well, but they were not good enough to withstand the British, and gradually they were forced back across the canal to the east
 Among the prisoners taken by the British were several officers who were caught in the regimental head quarters. The regimental commander was captured and it is reported his advent into the British lines was a humorous spectacle. He came tramp ing back clad in an elaborate fur coat followed by two servants who carried more of his finery He was swearing

They were immediately thrown into a state of excitement and watched for the coming of their friends from every vantage poin. available.
