British Headquarters in France,
Nov. 27.-Desperate and sanguiunary
fighting has been raging in and about
Fontaine Notrc Dame since dawn to-
day, when the British again attacked
the strongly held village. Shortly af-
ter o'clock 1t appeared that the in
fantry had stormed its way thru the
in the face Of tremendous ma
chine gun fire, both from the houses
Of the hamlet and LaFolie wood, to the
Five hundred German pris-
oners were taken in the early hours Of
the fighting.
Late this afternoon the Germans
hurried up two new divisions and threw
them in for counter attack along tho
Fontaine-Bourlon wood line. The
fighting which followed In Fontaine
was even more bitter if possible than
that which occurred in the first rush
in the ruined hamlet. At latest re-
ports superior numbers of enemy in
fantry again had pushed the British
back but the battle still continued
with unabated furry.
In the mean time the British line
running around Bourbon wood to tha
was sustaining heavy as
sault. The enemy appeared to be de-
termined to regain this important posi-.
tion If possible.
The whole front from Fontaine to
Bourbon village was the scene Of the
fercest fighting, which at many places
was at close quarters.
Artillery Barrage Preeedes Attack
The attack on Fontaine Notre
Nov. 27.-The attack on Fontaine Notre
Dame was begun with the assistance
of a very heavy artillery barrage and
thruout the morning the British gun
ners maintained an intense fire against
German positions there. The onrush-
ing infantry drove~an entering wedge
into the northwestern part Of the vii
lage in a short time, but they were
held up here by terrific rifle and ma
chine gun fire to which they were sub
jected from every point of vantage.
Conditions were favorable for the
Germans for they were fighting on the
defensive in we'll prepared positions
Every machine gun was equivalent to
several hundred rifles, Despite this dis
advantage the british continued the
onslaught. It was glorious exhibit
ton Of bull dog courage.
British Take 500 Prisoners.
They surged on and in less than
three hours had pushed the hard-hit-
ting Germans back to the eastern side
of the village, leaving enemy dead
strewing the streets. AS the British
fought forward and surrounded build
ings containing machine guns many
Germans were compelled to surrender
or lose their lives. BY the time the
eastern side Of the village was reached
500 captives had been taken.
The arrival OF large body Of Ger
man reinforcements put different
complexion on the situation. These
fresh troops Immediately counter at
tackled and the lighting thru the streets
Of F'ontaine took on renewed vigor
The weary British retired somewhat
in the face of this onslaught, selling
each foot of ground to the army at a
cruel price. The western outskirts
of the village were reached and here,
according to latest reports, the battle
continues.

known today concerning the famous
