point of the crescent, reaching the north

encircling the suburbs of Cite st. Laurent
and Cite St Emile.
GERMANS DESERT POSTS
The attack began at 4:25 o'clock. IIill
No. 20 was bombarded with guns Of all
calibres, which worked havoc among the
German defenses on the crest. when the
British began their barrage fire many Ger
mans were seen to desert their nosts and
flee to the rear. Wounded Canadians, re-
turning from the battle. are loud IN their
praise of the perfection achieved in prep
aration. and the efficient protection afforded
by the artillery
The extreme depth reached in tho first
stage was 1900 yards This was achieved
in ninety-three minutes. The new front,
taken In con junction with positions secured
IN the last few days in the southwestern
outskirts Of Lens, established an angular
line like a pair of shears whose points
reach out north and south of the city.
AS the Canadians pushing in on the
northwest simultaneous advance was start

filled with hundreds of machine guns.
A considerable number Of German prs-
oners have arrived II Is remarked that
many are mere lads. Some, apparently, are
not more than seventeen years old.
Before the British could consolidate their
new positions the Germans began counter
attacking. but the assaults were all checked
before the troops could reach their lost

back, leaving enormous numbers of dead
and wounded behind.
Not only is the base position of the
Germans at Lens mcnaCed by this latest
British victory. but a big section Of the
western front stretching from the Belgian
frontier to the middle Cf the ArraS zone, is
put in jeopardy. If the Germans are forced
to evaCuate Ions It means that they lose
their grip on the French coal fields and
upon the Industrial city OF Lille, which
