some Highlanders told him how they
found food in trenches which some
other troops had been forced to

threat in this direction undoubtedly
as of considerable Importance.
Fighting Is Bitter
The fighting to-day continued to be
OF the bittereSt nature, not only in
the Merville neighborhood where the
main assault was made, but also
northward from Givenchy.
Yesterday and last night the
enemy continued his pressure from
Wytschaete southwark and gradual
ly forced the British to fall back
from Ploegstert and Ploegstert wood
until the battle was being staged to-
day near Neuve Eglise, to the west
In the meantime steady pressure
was maintained in the Estaires sec
tor beyond which lay Merville and
Aire. During the night the enemy
pushed back the defenses at Lestrem
and captured Calonne Sur Lys, just
southwest of Merville. At the same
time they pressed down through
Neuf Berquin little above Merville,
and these two converging forces
hurled themselves on the town.
Resisting Doggedly
Giving way before greater num-
bers, the British fell back toward
st. Venant, fighting doggedly all the
way against the closely pressing
Germans. A sangunary battle was
proceeding to-day east of st. Venant
with the British making a determin-
ed stand. During the night the Brit
ish counterattacked west of Steen-
werck west of Armentieres, and re-
occupied La Bacque after hard fight
ing.
The German attack about Civ
enchy, on the southern end of the
battle line was being pressed to-day
by some nine divisions. There has
been virtually no cessation in the
fighting since the beginning of the
battle Tuesday. Thus far the British
have maintained a stonewall defense
against which the Germans have
flung themselves with heavy losses.
To-day the casualty list of the at
tacking troops was swelled appall-
mgly as the British artillery and ma
rhine guns pounded concentration
points and troops advancing in close
formation.
The work of the British gunners
Mt GiyenChy has been noteworthy. On
the first day, when the Germans
swept forward in masses and the sit
uation was very grave, many artil-
lcrNmen worked for hours shooting
point blank ut close range. One gum
merry sergeant stood by his piece fir
in% with open sights at a range of
200 yards and held OFF for a consid-
crablC time the enemy before he was
compelled to fall back
The British troops who have been
making such a gallant stand just
above Givenchy also distinguished
themselves by holding the Germans
up for hours at certain point in the
battle before Cambria on November
so, when the enemy counterattacked
