ASTOUNDING PERFORMANCE
EASILY ACCOMPLISHED.

The whole operation was a most
astounding performance, but it was
accomplished with such clock-like
regularity that it left one gasping. It
was as though we had witnessed the
wiping out of q city by a huge dyna-
mite mine which does its work in
simultaneously.
The German prisoners clearly feel
the weight of the blow inflicted. They
are dazed by it and many Of them
look on the situation as dark for their
forces. aga
There was little change in the sit
'uation yesterday afternoon. The Brit
ish were resting on their laurels and
consolidating, their gains at most
places, although local battles were in
progress at some points where the
Germans were still battling to some
redoubtsorssmall defense. ,
EVERY sOoUNTER-ATTACK
EASILY SHATTERED.
Virtually every counter-attack the
Germans have attempted since the
offensive began has been shattered by
artillery and machine gun fire and
the enemy undoubtedly lost a great
number of menSin their abortive at
tempts. Throughout Thursday he
struggled etermtnedly at many places
to regainSthe ground lost but as each
attack was broken by the deluge OF
explosives hurled into his ranks he
finally adopted the attitude OF wait

opposition to the victorious forces OPP

the small interchange was that the
woman was a positive bone, and she
sure didn't look as if she were making
money.
