WIND HELPS ASSAULT.

Canadian Headquarters in France,
Thursday, March 21.-By Canadian
Press.--While German and British
troops We're struggling, far to the
south. in the opening clash Of the
spring campaign. the greatest pro-
jcctor gas bombardment Of the war
was carried out by the Canadians to-
night, against enemy positions between
Lens and Hill 20.
At IL o'clock a signal rocket was
sent up. A moment later more than

front lines and strong points favoring
winds carried the poisonous clouds
back into the enemy's dugouts, sup
ports, reserves and assembly areas.
The whole front was lit by enemy
flares which could be seen through
the heavy mist. while the enemy's gas
alarm and cries of distress could be
heard from the hostile trenches.
6arrage Rakss Field.
Nine minutes later the Canadian
field artillery, supported by heavy
guns and trench mortars. opened up
with slow bombardment, increasing
in violence until 40 minutes later the
enemy positions were swept with a
short, intense, creeping barrage. which
ralsed his forward and rear areas with
high explosives.
Caught by the gas without a mo-
ment's warning and caught again as
they emerged from their shelters by
gunfire, the German casualties must
have been very heavy for the effective
ness of the smaller gas operations had
been emphatically proved by the evil
dence of prisoners and tonight's bonn
bardment was three times greater than
anything of it's kind ever attempted by
the Canadians on the western front
and much greater than anything ever
launched by the Germans.
