-4. Rain Causes Trouble.
The accountsfof men engaged in tho
capture of Hooge indicate that the
second days battle in this section was
made extremely severe and doubly try
ing by the heavy rain that began the
night before. Hoogc itself was occu-
pied with little trouble soon after the
attack began because the place had
been so knocked to pieces by the Brit
ish guns as to make it untenable. The
British attack began astride the Menin
Road and the advancing troops had to
make their way around Bellewaarde
lake, just north of Hooge, In order to
reach the strong line OF German de-
fenses along the Bellewaarde ridge,
which dominated this section. This
ridge was taken in hand-to- hand
fighting one hour after the offensive
began. The British inflicted severe
casualties and captured a number OF
prisoners.
Take Westhoek Ridge.
From here the British pushed on into
the swampy ground between the Belle
waarde ridge and the Westhoek ridge,
still farther east and along which holds
the Frescnburg road. These latter po-
sitions were captured without much
fighting and the British began to con-
solidate themselves along this line. No

CURED on Tuesday. That night the
rain fell in torrents and Wednesday
morning the troops were walloWing In
two feet of water and mud and in
some cases the water was waist high.

defenders. the Germans counter at
tackled with large body of troops.
but the British poured n heavy ma :
chine gun fire into the advancing lines
and rcrulsed the attack. The Germans
then turned heavy gunfire on the
Westhoek position and after a fierce
preliminary bomba bartlment again coun- :
ter attacked. but were unable to stand
up under the heavy machine sunfirc
from the British positions.
Germans Make No Attempt.
There was one space of so yards
in this section of the British line which
at one time contained virtually no
troops and the Germans seeing this
made hurried advance to occupy it.
