HEROIC STAND Of BRITISH ARMY IS HOLDING GERMANS Withdrawal to Prepared Po- sitions Made Deliber-
 ately as Planned. CONSERVE LIVES AS HUNS SLAUGHTERED Magnificent Fight Made By Britons-- Machine Gun Company Holds
 Teuton Advance for Time
 In Village.

British Headquarters, in France, March 23.-The Germans this evening were pressing their attacks hard on the right flank of the British near Ham, while on the northern end of the battle line desperate fighting had been going on since yesterday about Mory, which has changed hands several times.
 It is reported some of the enemy in- fantry pushed down across the Scm- me canal and drove forward against prepared positions, to which the Brit ish had retired German cavalry was seen behind the advancing German in- fantry, and there was small doubt that the attacking forces intended to make supreme effort to recapture the British lines in this sector.
 The British strategical withdrawal to better positions had been carried out deliberately and in accordance with the plans, thereby saving lives of British troops, while the attacking forces have been advancing under in- creasing difficulties with huge cost of life.
 The Germans advanced for this new attack from Coisselles, and for hours were held off by company of British machine gunners stationed on high ground, who swept the enemy ranks with grilling fire. The British or ganzed counter attack as soon as the Germans entered village, and push ed the enemy back. Bitter fighting continued turnout the night, and is no less bitter today, with fldctuating for tunes.
 About Mory the battle has been es- pecially fierce and when the story of the British defense can be told it will be a record of magnificent stand. The fighting began here yesterday when the Germans attacked with a su- perior number of troops The British held on during the day, but last ening the enemy gained foothold in the village, after sanguinary struggle at close quarters.
