During the fighting British airplanes
 lowered above Monchy, seeming to sit
 almost stationary astride the bowling
 gale. One was thus 'idling on the wind''
 when out of an overhanging cloud
 swooped down three German machines
 The khaki clad airman splendidly out
 maneuvered his foes and enticed the pur-
 suers within range of the anti-aircraft
 guns. The, Germans had to suddenly turn and climb for their lives. In the fighting today the British cap- tured number of additional guns. A number were taken on sector The Cam
 adians have made a great haul in guns in their attack on Vimy ridge, thus far having brought in four S-inch howitzers, nine of the famous German 5.9s. and 23 field pieces. In many of the captured gun positions the British found tier upon tier of ammunition. Prisoners from the
 German artillery said there was great
 shortage in artillery horses in the army and that when the British struck so sud- denly they had no chance to save their pieces even far back of the old front
 line.
 One interesting bit of information the
 advance has disclosed is that the Ger
 mans were planning to shell Arras with two of their AZ centimer 'big Betras,"
 which first won fame about Liege and Antwerp. These guns had reached
 Douai, and 1t was planned to place them
 near Fampoux. which now is in British hands. According to gunner prisoners, Prussic acid shells were to have been used.
 A large number of the German prison CTS seem to be glad that they have been
 taken.

Every point brought up by the claimants was decided against them. The one hope of the owners now is to obtain reversals of the decisions on applications for rehearings, but it is an unusual thing for the supreme court to decide question and then change it's opinion on rehearing.
 The courts decision was rendered in six cases. Two other cases are now on the docket for consideration. but the at torney geleral announced that the decis- ions would be similar as the same issues were brought forward.

Notwithstanding these circum- stances, the British attack widened today by a blow north of Vimy ridge, the latter having been firmly held and consolidated by the Canadians against bitter German fire. The troops which struck north of Vimy today penetrated to point few hun7 dred yards northwest of Ginchy.
 On the remainder of the new front the work consisted largely of strengthening certain elementsin the line by anihilat- ing several pockets where the Germans had held out. The British also smashed to bits a strong German counter attack against Monchy-le-Preux, the German losses being among the heaviest they have suffered during the new offensive Tte Germans at Monchy had been ordered to prevent the British advance reaching that high point at all hazards. It was not until large numbers of field batteries had been brought into play and with hari fighting that the Germans were definitely beaten off. -
 The Brltlsh anu the German ueiehse converged at Monchy and it was won derful sight to watch this fighting from a nearby hill yesterday and realize that for the moment his was the focal point of the entire world war The artillery duel over the pretty little town was study in black and white, the British shells breaking white on the German po- sitions just east of the town. while tte German shells exploded over the town with smoke that resembled great balls of lamp black wool.
