Delegates Invited To

tanks and ground into the earth.
Prisoners estimate that at least
two. and probably three. German
companies We're wiped out in few
minutes.
The machines returned in such hor-
rible condition from the shambles
that they had to be washed down.
The German tanks sent into the
fight at Nillers- BretOnneaux acted
quite independently of the foot SOL
diers. Their business apparently was
to search out the machine gun nests
and engage them. The fact that
the crews of two Of the enemy tanks
abandoned them when they got into
trouble would seem to indicate the
personnel is not experienced.
Four German tanks came forward
with the second attack at about 3
o'clock. Only one clash between them
and the British tanks occurred. That
was when the auartette came up
against one big British machine and
two smaller ones. Both OF the lat
ter had been damaged somewhat by
the heavy cannonade. but the bigger
British machine forced the enemy TO
retreat and put one of the number
cut of action.
From statements made by prison
ers the correspondent is able TO give
an approximate description Of the
new German tank. It is about SO
feet long. - feet high and II feet
wide. There is central turret on
top and the turret guns are of about
l. centimeter.
These tanks also carry about six
machine guns. which fire from the
front, rear and both TANKS. Armor
plate gives the whole machine tn
;ppearanc of a turtle or an Inverted
basin. The speed Of these tanks
cross country is said to he very slow.
On the highway it is reported TO he
much faster One tank used Wednes-
day had the name "Cyclops" painted
across the front and another bore the
skull and cross bones.

LOSS OF KENNEL

The loss of KENNEL Hill is serious
for it overlooks much of the low lands
lying back Of the allied lines in the
Npres salient. The hill is AGA feet in
height. rising from low lands on the
south and cast. 1t is six miles
southwest of Ypres and three miles
west of Wytschaete.

they were forced by the German as
saults of two weeks ago. The line
to the southwest. toward Bailleul ap-
parently is in no particular danger
at present although the village Of
Dranoutre has been lost to the en-
envy
SO important is the possession OF
KENNEL hill that the Allies must
launch counter attack to rccapture
1t, and the French have begun Il saw
age attack on the height. If the
Germans continue to hold il and
either consolidate their lines or push
on. the Allies Will be a a great dis
advantage in future engagements.
The latest reports from the scene
of the battle are that the Germans
are attacking on line from La
Clytte to the Ypres Confines canal.
! La Clytte is about a mile and a half
north Of KENNEL hill and is six and
half miles west of the Ypres Com
