the German line that still stood
in the face of the tearing of the
machine guns.
The advancing wall melted
away. Exploding shells flung
bits of what had been human
beings over the field. Machine
gun fire continued to slice
holes into tho quivering col
umn.
Then the pitiful remnants turn
ed and dissolved in flight.
This was only one Of numerous
almost continuous German coun-
ter attacks. All were heavy.
Crown Prince Rupprecht evidently
has determined on every effort by
massing of every available man, to
regain some, If not all, of the
ground newly won by the British.
Morale Is Hurt.
He hopes for some blow which
will regain the prestige German
arms have lost. 1t Is evident from
the attitude of German prisoners
that Byngs' drive was the hardest
blow struck German morale since
the French drove the German
crown prince back from Verdun
in February, 1916.
In the Bourbon sector today
their airmen were buster than
usual. saw one exceptionally
daring exploit by a German flying
pilot.
While the sky was literally
flecked with British airmen, a
lone German, watching his chance,
slipped thru the Gordon and charg-
ed a British sausage observation
balloon.
And Escapes!
He swooped above 1t, loosed an
incendiary missile and curved be-
yond. Then he turned almost on
one end and escaped back home in
a whirlwind of shell bursts.
The balloon had been hit.
1t burst suddenly into a mass
Of flames. One observer in
its basket leaped out, his
parachute gracefully unfold
ing and gently depositing him
on the ground. The second oc-
cupant Of the basket, with
iron nerve, waited until the
balloon started falling before
he, too, jumped with his Para
chute. BY q miracle the
heavier and more rapidly
falling mass Of flames just
grazed him as It slid to earth.
He got off unscathed.
