Story of Canadian Fighting Men On Firing

German Adversarv
BY JOHN r.. BALDERsToN.

With the British Army in the Field
Aug. l9.-This is the story of some
experiences with the splendid Cana
dian army during one of its greatest
and most successful battles, which
resulted in the capture of Hill TO-
and i'm the successful occupation OF
the Northwestern suburbs of Lens,
In company with another correspond
ent and two staff officers, 1 penetrat-
ed into the Western outskirts Of Lens
while the battle was at its height, saw
German infantry in action, and
thanks to the preoccupation of the
enemy artillery with thes infantry
lighting in front, was able to see
attacks and counter-attacks from
positions in view of the Germans
without being disturbed.
The foundations for my trip were
laid a week ago, during a trip to the
headquarters of the Canadian corps
The word American" is an open
sesame at present, and members OF
the staff showed me without reserve
their plans for the operation that was
to take place, and took me to vari-
Gus parts of their line to explain the
lay of the land and the task before
their troops.
Several officers from Gen. Perish
ing's staff had visited Canadian
headquarters shortly before / arrived
The veterans of the Second Yyres
battle, of the Somme and the Vimy,
were most enthusiastic about the at
titude of the Americans. I'VE knew
they We're regular army men, and we
know just how they'd behave" said
my guide. while we were watching
the wonderful panorama spread out
before us. when they turned up we
found them as modest as schoolgirls.
They were keen. awfully keen, to
learn, and they were never tired of
saying, we are babies in war, you
know all about 1t. we Just want you
to show us or course that isn't
quite true, but we appreciated it.
Told About Shell Hole.
"They wouldn't take our word for
certain things, and this worried us
a bit. You see we told them about
organizing shell holes. and night
patrolling. and all that sort of
thing. but they would insist on go
ing out themselves into the most
dangerous corners on our front to
see for themselves. On this hill
which isn't particularly dangerous,
the Boche took a sudden notion to
shell me when I had several Amer
lean C0ionels in tow, and we had a
pretty narrow escape"
While the earlier stages of the
attack on Hill 20 and the outskirts
of Lens were in progress, a week
later, August IS, l arrived at the
headquarters OF one of the Can
adian divisions that was taking
part in the attack. Reports were
coming in. but the general and his
officers were not too busy to eN-
plain what was going on. All the
detectives had been taken in the
first attack. but the Germans were

The first German 1 saw was run

somewhat similar circumstances
earlier in the day. He was in easy
range Of the guns. but hidden by
some houses from rife fire. and he
doubtless thought. as we had
thought. that the cannon were too
busy to seek out a single target.
But. even as l watched, there was a
pun of white smoke seemingly far
above his head. and he stumbled and
disappeared from view into a trench
or shell hole, or face downwards on
the ground. l could not tell. Was
he struck by the shrapnel, or did the
burst impel him to take cover? 1
