that the men will soon have their in

Hiring men for the guard has
not proved to be an easy task for tn,
men on recruiting duty. While man,

and three machine guns.
This fighting aptly illustrates the

The Germans are everywhere con-

again in possession of the farm
The stubborn resistance put up by
the Germans south Of the Souchez
River was costly. The British, on take
ing possession OF these positions
found the ground strewn with German
dead. These bodies showed that
three regiments of the German re
serve divisions had been thrown into
the fight in a futile effort to stop the

During the night the Germans pre-
pared for an attack near Bullecourt-
massing from two to four battalions-
and putting down a heavy barrage in
the lines as a shield behind which the
massed battalions were to attack.
