these requirements have been greatly
exaggerated aud that In the judgment

With the British Army in Belgium,
Nov. 16.-(By the Associated Press).
The forces of Crown Prince Rup-
precht of Bavaria have made their
first pretentious effort to regain
Passchendaele village, the gem of
their defenses, in accordance with
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
edict that the place should be recap
t1fed, and have failed.
The enemy's attack, north of the
hamlet, was attempted with large
forces and was a most determined
effort, but the assaulting troops were
hurled back after a grim struggle,
leaving the British line intact.
PIow Through Bsrrase.
The greater part of the enemy in.
fantry was stopped by the tremendous
British artillery barrage, which
plowed through their ranks as they
began the advance. But some of
them, answering to that famous dis
cipline, pushed through this rain of
death and reached the British front
line
A sanguinary, struggle followed at
close quarters. The British soldiers
flung themselves upon the stubborn
enemy with such ferocity that he
was compelled to. give ground and
finally retire, leaving many dead.
Loss Considered Serious.
The attack was prefaced by ter
rifle bombardment. The German guns
opened on the right early In the
morning. The British had been ex.
pecting the counter-attack for sew,
eral days. Captured German officers
had admitted that the loss of Pass
chendaele was regarded as a serious
matter, and that every effort would
be made to retake it.
Sound Heard rs Miles.
All day the German artillery shelled
Passchendaele and the forward area
while the British heavies and field
guns replied with violent lombard
ment. No such artillery duel hat
occurred along the British front IN
many weeks. For hours 1t was main
tanned by both sides with a drumfire
that shook the country fori mile,
about. Windows in houses SO miles
away ratified, and in a town z,
miles from the scene the detonation!
could plainly be heard.

Cold For Them

LOS ANGELES, March 6.-Dor-
othy Gish. Triangle-Fine Arts star,
soon will arrive in New York for
a brief frolic in the metropolis.
Miss Gish says the purpose of her

party.
The hostess was presented with

tiles were Carmel Myers, Con-
