front last week resulted in the de-
feat OF British efforts to capture the

Of the Overseas News Agency.

vicinity OF Beaumont Hamel. On
Jan. IL the British resolved to un-
dcrtake n greater effort, directing II
against the village OF Serre. before
whose ruins the last great British
thrust, in the middle of November,
broke down with heavy losses.
During the whole day the German
positions and approaches were un-
der a strong British fire from guns OF
the heaviest calibre. In the after
noon this bombardment became most
violent. Then British storming col
umns were sent TO tho attack from
the west and south.
Tho columns advancing from the
west were moved down by our ma
chine guns and our directed cur
tain OF fire. and In this quarter the
British did not obtain tho least sue
cess. Some OF their men succeeded in
approaching our trenches, but were
annihilated by hand grenades.
Tho British who advanced from
the south succeeded. Notwithstanding
the fact that they sustained the heavy
losses. in approaching the advanced
German positions. They obtained a
footing In the foremost trenches after
fierce hand-to-hand lighting which
continued until nightfall. They at
tempted to advance to the main Ger
man position but failed. The main
position and the town OF Serro are
firmly in the hands OF the defenders.
