Roads damned With Prisoners.

Thousands of prisoners have been
captured; the roads to the British rear
are literally damned with them.
All during the night there was very
heavy fighting around the British po-
sitions, which were almost damned up
against the great German defense
system. Piles of dead Germans was
one of the results. During one en-
envy attack sergeant with g. ma
chine gun killed sixty Germans who
tried to rush him.
The instant the British appeared the
Germans in many cases jumped out of
the trenches and held their hands
high above their heads. In some
cases, however the advancing British
met with a hail Of machine gun bull
lets, but, Notwithstanding this, they
pushed on. Quickly the first line was
overcome.
