BRITISH IN ATTACK

the behavior of the chaplain. who had
gone over the top with the first OF the
British troops with nothing on his head
but a soft army cap. Among the Ger
man prisoners was a clear eyed. good
looking boy OF 20 from Baden who could
scarcely tell how glad he was, bubbl.ng
with laughter and sheer happiness like
a school boy He had learned English
in school at Baden and spoke 1t well.
He told of his joy when he saw the
British coming. A few of his COM
panons fed. but he and many others
seized the opportunity to put up their
hands and shout their surrender. Many
of the prisoners brought their rations
in their packs; one man carried a whole
side of bacon.
Some OF our wounded declared they
had seen no Germans except those who
were running or surrendering. One
complained that in a whole row of dug
outs at Beaucourt he found Germans
hiding in only one al the others had
surrendered at the earliest opportunity,
In the actual attack our casualties az
some points were incredibly light. L
would not give the impression that this
is "A picture of the whole attack. I
hear that the German resistance is stiff
ening on the trench line from Mira
mount to Beauregard II Is inconceiv-
able that everywhere the enemy infantry
can have all behaved like rabbits.
Doubtless there has been stout oppose
ton and stiff fighting somewhere.
Our prisoners represent five German
divisions. including the Second Guards
Reserve and the Fourth Bavarian. The
air in the morning was too thick for
airplane work, but as came away
they were beginning to hum about.
On other parts OF the British front
the news also was good. In the Mer-
vile sector We have now advanced
good 5000 yards. Our front runs north
and south from east of Mervlle to east
OF Vieux Berqun. In the Locre area.
further north. We rushed series of
outposts constituting the German ad-
vanced line and brought away some
prisoners With the latest French sue
cess in the south we are really keeping
the Germans busy.
Since the Germans have adopted their
present methods OF holding their forward
positions only by scattered posts often n
long distance In advance OF their main
line OF resistance. we have consistently
made It uncomfortable for those ad-
vanced posts. The Germans seem to
have thought we would always attack
In force, when the advance posts would
hold us up giving warning to the line OF
defence behind.

We have come into possession % a
series of orders addressed to the German
troops there during those unhappy
weeks reprimanding them again and
again for permitting the Australians TO
outwit them and warning them that this
was the kind of fighting for which the
Australians were peculiarly fitted by
training, "wriggling through the BUSH"
when at home. The orders throw a bril-
liant light upon the completeness of the
terrorism the Australians have estab-
lished over the enemy they are confront
ing.
We have now had fifteen practically
rainless days and. while accustomed to
consider the weather only In relation to
military operations. the blessing the
fortnight's dryness has been TO northern
France in allowing farmers to harvest
their crops. is beyond compute. They
have practically harvested all their
grain The crops are generally good
and in some sections very good. Beets
