The enemy succeeded, at an immense
cost, in pushing his advance from a
mile to three miles deeper into the al
lied front At Marqueglise, the south
ernmost point of the salient, he was
seven miles from his starting point.
The fighting was almost unprece-
denied in fury. The Germans, continu-
ing to attack in compact masses, we're
moved down by the allied gun fire.
Wave succeeded wave in the attack,

The Germans, it is estimated, had
