CANADIANS WIN BACK
TRENCHES LOST TO FOE
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE
FIELD. June 4.
Canadian troops were back today in the
same trenches they occupied last Friday
after victory and defeat around Avion.
Sunday afternoon the Prusslans retook
the electric light station east Of Aviou in q
mad fury Of attack that totally disregarded
losses inflicted upon them. They thus un-
did all the work which the Canadians had
accomplished on Saturday in obtaining con-
troll Of that spot,
Throughout Sunday the enemy kept up a
terrific bombardment along the front Of
1900 yards on which the Canadians had
made their advance The fire was so in
tense that late Sunday 1t was decided TO
withdraw ,the British forces to their pre-
vious position.
At the moment when this plan was being
carried out the Prussians launched their
attack. Despite the British barrage, re-en-
forced by strong machine-gun fire which
the Canadians kept pouring into the ad-
vancing ranks, the enemy kept coming on
in waves A hand-to-hand struggle ensued
The British slipped backward in their with
drawal. stopping at the line Of trenches
they had occupied on Friday
SO perfect was this British withdrawal
that the Canadians took / II prisoners with
them-ninety Of them being unwounded
The German victory in this localized fight
was made possible largely by the fiat topog-
raphy of the country. South Of Lens there
are no covering ridges Saturday the
Canadians had taken the electric light sta
ton and "a briClyard. The ruins Of these
buildings and of scattered brick houses
we're the only screens available. In their
artillery preparation the Canadians had
eveled the German trenches around there
and destroyed even the small cover Of the
ruins Therefore, when the German attack
came the Canadians had to defend them,
! selves in what was virtually an open field
British artillery was active at number
Of points on the front today The prolonged
| inactivity of infantry Is broken. however
| only by suci local engagements as that by
which the Canadians pushed forward sat

that after General PeTshing gets his troops
in the field he will find that trench war

use Of more machine guns than planned, or
the creation of larger companies. The

but we have no intention Of changing our

General Mann denied that there had even
