British Forced Back
North of Goeberg
Haig Manages to Hold Part
of Territory, Despite
Counter Attacks

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM, Nov. 11.-Heavy enemy ar
tillery fire has followed the hard fight
ing which occurred TO the north and
northwest of Passchendaele yesterday
but at the latest report the Germans
had attempted no further infantry &C
ton Of any magnitude, and the situs-
ton remained as il WAS last night.
The Germans carried out particu-
larly violent bombardment OF all the
new British positions between 2 and
o'clock this morning, and another coun-
ter attack was expected, but this did
not materialize.
Along the crest of Passchendaele
Ridge, north Of the village, the Ca
nadians were holding their advanced
line strongly to-day, and consultations
were being carried out satisfactorily.
On the lower ground 70 the west. where
such bitter struggle occurred yester-
day, the British were forced TO with
draw somewhat in the face Of furious
counter attacks b. the Germans. This
territory, north of Goeberg, in the val
lev of the flooded Paddebeek. was the
most difficult sector in the line of the
offensive.
The ground was very marshy and the
whole zone was heavily defended with
strongly fortified farms. The British
troops in this territory, however, still
had some OF the newly won ground TO
their credit to-day, despite their with
drswal. The Canadians also encoun-
tered heavy fighting along the ridge
and the enemy artillery fire was ex-
ceptionally severe.
