SURPRISE ATTACKS
Scottish Forces Lead Way and
Australians Follow With
Another Success

LONDON, July 90 - (Associatcd
Press)-In a surprise attack launched
yesterday on the Flanders front, Scot
tish troops swept the Germaus out Of
Meteren, in the BailiUu sector, inlict-
ing heavy casualties and, capturing
three hundred of tho garrison and many
machine guns. A force of Australians
drove forward and captured German
trench system south of Mctcrcn, TAX
ing eighty more prisoners and ten ma
chine guns.
Both attacks took the Germans by
surprise and the, British loss was
small, while the positions taken arc
of importance. Holding Metercn gives
the british the advantage of the high
ground overlooking a section of the
German lines where Crown Prince Rup.
precht desired to keep the movements
of his troops secret.
Up TO last night the Germans had
attempted no counter attack to regain
their lost positions.
