in cooperation with the British, who
were advancing simultaneously on the
French right. Mangelaere soon fell
into their possession.
The whole scheme OF operations for
the day had been carried out long be
fore noon. The infantry's advance was
greatly assisted by the daring OF the
aviators. who would not permit the
weather conditions TO interfere with
the work Of recording the artillery
preparation. The French aviators as
cended and few low over the German
lines, taking capital photographs OF the
destruction caused BY the guns, and
then returned in the fearful gale 10
their bases TO turn in their reports.
Not a single German airplane was seen
in the cir.
The result Of the days fighting in
addition TO the men and material capt
ured. is that the forest of Houtholst,
which comprises five or six miles of
thickly wooded ground, is now virtually
fanked on both sides. As far as can
be learned. the wood contains consid-
cradle artillery and large numbers Of
machine guns, but the Germans must
find extraordinary difficulty in keeping
them supplied.
For the moment the French troops
are occupied in consolidating the
ground won. which. although small in
extent. represents an invaluable gain.
as it depriv.s the Germans of their
points Of obseTyxtion.
