German Casualties Huge.

Not only have the British wrenched
away many vital strongholds, but they
have inflicted almost unprecedented
casualties on the enemy.
AS the attacking troops went out IN
auest of great adventure over the
m -shrouded slopes their vast pro-
tective artillery barrage caught IN lts
mercilesS swirl large numbers OF the
enemy, who. by coincidence. also had
been massing for an early morning at
tack along wide front extending from
the neighborhood of Ionnebeke to the
Polvgon wood. Some five divisions or
German troops We're involved, three OF
these having been rushed up in reserve
to support their comrades in the front
lines when the German attacks should
begin.
4 solid wall of breaking shells plowed
through them in a hurricane OF death,
and they lie III countless thousands
amid the devastation that the barrage
left in it's wake. Part of these Inflated
troops we're the famous guardSmen in
whom the German emperor had taken
such pride in the days gone by. But
these massed troops were not the only
ones to suffer, for reports from prison
ers ali along the line indicate that the
Germans lost heavily throughout the
territory involved.

We have always led the enemy In the
air and are still leading.
Our greatest air success was In the
battle of the Somme, when We literally
swamped the Germans In the air. ana
our air superiority was so expensive to
the enemy that he set about insurinE
himself against a repetition by devoting
tremendous energy to the development
of the air service. But even so he could
only follow US and initiate our meth

planes; they followed. But we always
have been and now are doing more than
twice as much as they are able to DO.
We started TO use airplanes in attack
by employing machine guns against the
enemy's troops. The Germans copied
this, but never as successfully. During

to the present-we have not allowed the
Germans to interfere with the regular

Graves of German Officers.
The graves of German officers We're
kept with even more elaborate care and
were surrounded with stone or cement
posts with dropping chains strung be-
tween them. The most frequent inscrip-
ton was He died for the fatherland."
In one grave where forty-six were
buried there was a life-sized figure of
a crouching lion at the foot made from
cement. carefully executed. At the head
was monument eight feet high and six
feet wide, showing a dying German SOL
der. lying in his death agonies on the
ground. The inscription read: "IIier

translated is: Here rest in God forty
six comrades.
Another monument erected to twenty
three men had a life-sized statue of a
German soldier with a German rife set
in cement by his side. His right hand
was extended holding large laurel
wreath. in the center of which was a
black marble slab on which were the
names Of the men buried. The inscrip-
ton was "Hier Ruht in Colt 2S Deut-
semen Helbin.' CHere rest in God

Side by side with the German graves
were graves of Frenchmen, lust as

and shrubs growing on them and bear

He says: ''All the Canadian soldier

honor of being recognized as doing as
good work as the Englishman beside
whom he is fighting"
He says that in the distribution of
the English army there is always seven
or eight battalions of English soldiers
to one of Canadian or Australian. That
the Canadians are given the positions
of honor, the places Of greatest danger
is due to the fact that the English
authorities realize that the Canadians
would soon claim that they were being
Disseminated against if they were put
on lines Of communication or in work
in the rear.
The Canadians are in the front but
they are side by side there with the
best English regiments.
On the western front, where the
fighting is concentrated and where
both sides are endeavoring to break
through, he says, the English forces
are very dense. and that here the best
blood of England has gone eagerly
forward.

troops. Recently the Germans have
been forced to change many of their
