BEHIND HINDENBURG LINE

to i2S,OOO Only the Germans own flg-
ures on their dead and wounded VIII be
able to tell the real story OF their
losses. The number OF Germans killed is
unquestionably enormous.
What breaking through the line
means, is shown by the fact that al noon
Tuesday the British were only six miles
from Cambrai, having advanced nearly
iye miles from the opening which was
blasted in the German defenses.
Into cages already containing 1000 Ger
man prisoners, 22O0 more were dumped
Tuesday. This was only part OF the
previous nights gleanings. They made
a ragged and muddy collection in very
damp spirits.
