gium, Oct. By the Associated
Press-The sun this morning was
shining down through the crisp Octo-
Der air on an unwavering line of Brit
ish troops along the new defenses
which they reached in yesterday S
great drive. The night had brought
virtually no change in the situation
and the British rapidly were console
dating the positions that were the
fruit of one of the most important
conquests Of the war. The night was
comparatively calm as far as infantry
action was concerned.
The enemy, however. concentrated
an intense artillery fire on the entire
battle front. and during yesterday
afternoon and evening they lnassed
their shattered troops at various
places for counter attacks. These
were attempts born of desperation and
in almost every case, the onrushing
waves of German infantry were
caught in a heavy artillery. machine
gun and rifle fire and crushed before
they reached their detectives.
The British took 4,446 prisoners in
Thursdays battle.
