other wise they would be annihilated.
1t is only human nature to remain
under cover under such conditions.
Thus when the assault comes its wave
passes over the top before the de-
tenders can come out. Many are re-
luctant to leave cover. The brave
alone die at their machine gun posts.
Thus in our last attack, north of the
Ancre and in the two French assaults
at Verdun, thousands of prisoners
were taken before they could fire a
shot. In one instance two British
brigades passed over a position and
occupied the enemy's second line be-
fore the defenders of the first line came
out from their underground LADY,
rfnths and commenced to fight. Thus
the heaviest losses fell on our Third
brigade, which had to retake the first
line and deal with these elaborate un-
foreground works.
1t is not the actual defenders of q
position who can check the first waves
of an attack. 1t is the barrage fire
which the enemy guns concentrate on
our trenches the moment our infantry
are seen to leave cover. 1t is this
which inflicts such heavy losses. The
Germans call this a drum fire." the
waves of shells falling simultaneously
in lines like the beats on giant drum.
Their drum fire collapsed last summer
and autumn under that of our counter
batteries, or, at least, 1t was spasmod-
ic and irregular and ill-aimed, because
they had lost control of the air and
their heavy artillery was firing "blind."
This winter they have been bringing
up more heavy guns and accommodating
vast supplies of ammunition. They
say their drum fire. this spring and
summer will crash our attacks. But
will it?

London.-A Times correspondent
| with the British army in the field
writes the following description of a
raid on German trenches made on the
| Somme front:
A full account of the raid made by
Canadians on the German lines near
| Calonne on January IL serves to show
that the raid, though soon over, re-
ceived much care from the staff Off
GERS and the men who carried it out.
The Canadian lads were set to study
ing the German language and acquired
, some phrases, such as "Raus" and
another phrase explaining that If the
. Germans stayed down they must ex-
pect the worst Immediately.
Our men hate the necessity Of
, bombing deep dugouts, full Of the
| frightened enemy, but the time is short
and bombing is necessary if orders are
not obeyed at once. A modest Cana
dian officer said he called down one
dugout six times, shouting in German
on this occasion.

Three men were detailed to stay be-
hind and when the German wire was
reached to cut paths. 1t happened that
our guns made q beautiful mess of
that wire. Nevertheless these three
cut the tangle into short lengths and
the shorter boys went over at eight in
the morning. After an active walk OF
four minutes the first waves of raiders

The judgments of the Canadian Of

to be victorious.
Official figures of the elections in
Santa Clara province have not yet
been announced. The censorship thus
far has been applied only to incoming
dispatches.
Discover Plot Involving Havana Police
According to Havana newspapers,
plot was discovered early this morn
ing in which the Havana police are
said to have been concerned. The plot
involved, it is said, seven officers, ten
sergeants and eighteen men, the
names of these policemen being print
ed in the local papers.
Gen. Geraldo Macheo, a prominent
Cuban army official and member of the
Cuban parliament, is reported to have
been killed at Las Villa. Another
member of the liberal party, Gen. Err
nesto Asbert, has been captured by
government forces.
Gen. Asbert was formerly governor
general of Havana province. In July,
1918, he was implicated in the killing
of Gen. Jesus Rive, head of the Hava-
ma police department. He was convict
led and sentenced to twelve years. i'm
iprisonment but was released after the
senate and house of representatives
had passed an amnesty bill over the
veto of President Menocal.
| Advices from Las Villas show the
conservatives have large majority in
the reelection.
Three rebels and two troopers were
killed in fight between the insurrec-
tos under Baldermo Acosta and forces
under Amiller Caero. Amaguaraya
rebels under Joaquin Gomez were dis
persed by troops, who captured arms
and horses. There is no interruption
in the operation of the sugar mills.
'The seditious movement in the cap
Iitol of Oriente (Santiago) now is Off
cially confirmed" the statement con-
tinues. 1.-TWO squadrons of cavalry
and one company of infantry stationed
in Santiago have mutinied. Seven Of
ficers joined the mutineers and seven
others were imprisoned. The maximum
strength of the aforementioned COM
panies is 100 men each. Their strength
at the time of the uprising averaged
eighty men. This would make some
$50 men all told in volume and it is
probable that considerable part Of
them had no choice but to join their
companions.
"The remainder of the province of
oriente is quiet, although there is
news of several bands Of men who
have left different towns, presumably
to join the Insurgents. The rural
guard detachments, of which there are
probably forty or fifty, in Oriente,
have all remained loyal to. the govern
