British Repulse Foe.
London, Dec. IA fierce mass at
tack was made by the Germans today
against the elbow in the bend OF the
British line between Bullecourt and
Queant (about 10 miles west OF CAM
braD, says the Reuter- correspondent
at British headquarters in France.
Their intention was to overwhelm
their opponents by sheer weight of
numbers. Owing to the staunchness
of the British opposition, the attack
only enabled the Germans to get a
footing i'll about 500 yards, of the
British front line when the attack was
arrested. ,..-. .-s .e. xii .~
Small Local Success.
Thus the attack was reduced to tho
limits OF very small local success
at the most. The correspondent adds
that it is difficult to get details, but
the fighting lasted from dawn until
! o'clock in the afternoon and the
continuance of firing after that sug-
gested British counter attack.
In his description OF the battle, the
correspondent says:
What apparently was intended as a
determined German attack upon the
sector of our line east of Bullccourt,
was delivered shortly before dawn.
and, owing TO the Ttauircliress of our
troops, was reduced to the limits Of
very small local success at the most.
The spot the enemy chose was the
elbow in the bend OF Our line between
Bullecourt and ueant. .... sr.
The Germans opened an intense
bombardinent as the first streaks of a
frosty dawn were paling the eastern
sky Our artillery promptly replied
with a barrage put down between the
opposing trenches in order to catch
any infantry advance. ~. ss.....

troops came over in close formation.
1t was the manifest intention to throw
great pressure upon the front Of the
attack and overpower the defenders
if possible, by sheer weight of num-
befs."
