than that.
This was only one rapid fire gun
out OF many directed at the solid
masses of the enemy. But they
never seemed to make an impress
sion on the l5-waved lines. The
dead dropped in piles, but other
gray coated fighters filled the
gaps.
The exploit of certain tank
lieutenan. is an example of the
British battle spirit.
Works Guns Alone
The lieutenant's captain, in
charge OF the tank, was killed
early yesterday morning. The
subaltern took command. A few
hours later-at 10:30 in the
morning-his tank was hit square
ly by a German shell. The lieu
tenant got his men out of their
steel wagon and had them en-
trench nearby.
Then, alone, he clambered back
into the tank and personally
worked the Lewis guns that stuck
out OF its barbetts in front. He
worked them so rapidly that they
got red hot and ran out of am
munition. He had TO leave the
tank.
But the lieutenant was still
anxious to fight. He and his men
found a German machine gun
nearby and with il attacked 200
Germans. They held the enemy
until British infantry painted up
and grabbed the enemy position.
British officers who have been
thru the war mill declare today
there never has been any heavier
fighting than that which the Cam
brai sector has seen for the last
few days. Attacks and counter
attacks succeed each other-end-
lessly-bringing the action into
one vast battle.
Divisions From Russia

the fight was apparently around
La Vacquerc.

Probably some of them are from

German fighting style-masses up
on masses. From prisoners 1t
seemed apparent that Germany is
exerting her utmost, desperately
anxious to force a decision before
the Americans arrive.
Germans, Bavarians, Prussians
and Grenadier Guards-the very
pick of the Teutonic forces, are in
the German assault.

At Verdun, French soldiers

heroism.

The enemy is beaten at Monte

Piave front held down, not only
by Italy's heroic fighters, but by
veterans of the French and Brit
fish armies.
The Austro-German assault at
Monte Grappa constituted the
Teutons' third effort to turn the
Italian flanks on the Piave front.
The first endeavor was when
the Austrians launched the attack
on the lower Piave, against the
Italian right wing. The result
was the Italians wiped out an en-
tire Teutonic army which crossed
the river.
Immediately Gen. Konrad's
and Krobatkin's armies attacked
on the left Italian wing-the sec
ond attempt at thanking. They
burst out over the Asiago pla-
teau. There they were likewise
checked. Then came the third
trial between the Piave and the
Brenta rivers. The enemy con-
centrated for this supreme effort
not only Konrad's and Krobat-
kin's armies, but divisions from
the armies of both Krauss and
Belo.
Last Barrier Holds
In the center of this third bat
tie ground lay Monte Grappa-a

slopes of which descend abruptly
