What is believed may develop into
the biggest battle Of the war is now
IN progress on the western front. hav-
ing begun Monday with Lens as the
center The allies claim TO have oc-
cupied large part of the town and
captured stragetic points outside the
limits, linking up the captured
trenches and making themselves Sc
cure IN the positions won. Heavy
counter attacks have been delivered.
the battle line swaying backward and
forward along a front OF many miles,
with the issue still undecided.
An unusual occurrence even in this
war Of great surprises was the meet
ing Of strong German and Canadian
forces in no mans land Tuesday morn
ing Both sides had planned an at
tack in the darkness just before dawn,
and both attacking parties left their
trenches almost at the same time.
The fight was hand to hand with bay
onets and bombs, and ragged furiously,
with heavy losses to both sides The
Canadians finally drove the Germans
into their trenches, capturing a num-
ber Of prisoners and several thousand
yards Of trenches.
In the past three days according to
British sources, the allies have taken
25.O00 prisoners. In commenting on
the situation Major General Frederick
b. Maurice, chief director OF the Brit
ish war intelligence office. yesterday
said:
We still are in the midst of a bat
tie Battles nowadays last two or
three months instead OF day or two
as in the old times. Trying to predict
The results from the achievements
thus far is like judging the battle OF
Waterloo from the situation that ex-
listed al 10 o'clock in the morning.
We are carrying out our campaign
in France and Flanders on careful,
methodical plans Each move is made
against strictly limited objectives. be-
yOnd which we do not attempt TO 90.
In the case of the lighting which be-
gan August Is the objective was even
more limited than usual owing to the
unfayorable condition OF the ground
But We got what We wanted and settled
ourselves there for the next move.
At Lens we now are right into the
town on the southwest and northwest
boundaries
The Germans are lighting very hard
and very we'll. This is particularly
true of their troops on the British
front. where they have brought up re-
serves from the French front How
hard they are pushed is shown by the
fact that they have had to employ
many more divisions than We, and that
they have been compelled to withdraw
more than twice as many divisions as
We on account of exhaustion or losses.
The French attack at Yerdun is be-
ing carried out according TO the same
methodical plans as ours in the north
In their first attack they gained about
three-fourths of their obiectives. leav-
ing the other one-fourth to be cleaned
up later by localized operations.
