WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, July 23.-Wearing

this morning penetrated the German
lines TO depth OF 500 wards on a
seven hundred-yard front east OF

the Canadians. The score Of enemy
dead and wounded must have been
many times this.
The Canadians stormed their way
thru the byways OF brick field II
was tough going for the Germans
fought desperately but they could
not stem the Maple Leaf boys fury
The battle extended farther and
farther back until II swarmed over
an embankment BEYOND the Ger
mans stopped To reform their lines
and prepare for a counter-attack
The breathing space gave the Ca
nadians time 70 blow up innumera-
BILE dugouts with which the slope
was honeycombed There wasn't
time enough TO call the Germans ont
OF these caves and make them pris-
oners, because the enemy beyond
was starting the attack. So most

BIZ HENRY WOOD

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, July 23.--CIermany
has found the Chemin des Danes
another Verdun.
To today, FIVE days OF continuous.
herculean assault BY the crown
princes troops have brought them
nothing except losses unequaled by
the German troops since he attack
on vaux. in April. 1916. From the
viewpoint Of quantity and quality
OF electives employed. the endless
succession OF the attacks. ferceness
of the 2a-hours-a.d fighting and
the German losses. the Chemin des
Danes fishting has not been equaled
since that verdun campaign around
Taux.
The unyielding resistance OF the
French must also have brought just
as bitter reflections 10 the Germans
as they felt AZ Verdun There IL
every indication that the enemy
staged its assault on Creonne. the
California casemates, Hurtebise
Cerny and Bray with the idea that
the crown prince would be able TO
telegraph the reichstag by Thursday
the news Of great victory on the
western front.
The German militarists figured
that q victory report would
strengthen their power with the
German parliament and result In an
immediate vote on the war credit
bill.
Prisoners examined 10 day re-
vealed this scheme They said the
attack had been planned carry In
the week, but was delayed until the
day the reichstac met for consider
alton of the war credit bill. In the
meantime special picked "stoss
strupen" were brought up 10 make
the "yictory" dOu5lv certain. The
Germans included in these picked
troops the crack Fifth division Of
the Prussian Guard. whose famous
Queen Elizabeth Grenadier com.
pany. incidentally. was practically
wiped out by French bombers in the
fighting that followed.
The German assault was launched
az 7.1O Thursday morning Great
masses OF troops were thrown for
ward. The density Of the attackers
was so great that on one section
of q kilometer's width (about two
thirds OF n mile) four complete regi
ments participated approximately
5000 mem.
When the FIRST waves OF the Ger
man troops melted away there were
always fresh waves 10 dash for
ward. Regiment after regiment was
sent 10 the slaughter until 1890 al
orffllnre
aration succeeded in the darkness
by new and gigantic attack. The
French met these new waves IN
handto-hand battle that lasted thru
out the night The check 20 the
crown princes plans was complete.
But the German commanders per.
sisted. Daily and nightly attacks
are continued even 10 today along
the entire Chemin des Danes front.
The reason for these supreme Of.
forts Is easily appreciated when II
Is understood that N the enemy 70
takes chemin des Danes before the
next strategic retreat" they VIII
drive tho French from the priceless
observatories on this highway From
these dominant positions the French
would be able to see the details oi
such retreat. u would be- fatal to
undertake such move in plain
view.
This same tactical plan explains
the endless German attacks around
Noronvllliers crest, further TO the
east. The French there dominate the
entire plain OF northern Champagne.
II 10 here the Germans must eventu-
ally fall hack
