they clung to their post and sent
swirling streams of death from their
machine guns down the slopes into
struggling masses of German infan-
try which had surrounded the hill
and was trying to battle to the top
Along the Ypres- KENNEL rail
way the defenders held for a con-
siderable time and inflicted heavy
losses on the attacking troops.
Meanwhile the French infantry on
the crest of the hill was pumping
steady streams of bullets from ma
chine guns into the Germans.
The enemy troops kept pushing on
until they swung their line in a cir
Gle about KENNEL. Throughout the
early hours of the day they tried
again and again to swarm up the
slopes of the hill. but each time they
met with such a grilling punishment
that they were unable to get for
ward. Six hours of fighting passed
before any German infantry was a bic
to get near the top of the hill.
The battle was at close quarters
The Germans continued to suffer ter
rible casualties. The shell-torn slopes
of the hill were strewn with the
dead.

New York, April 27.-The German
people are informed that the long

mark the greatest progress in the
development of firearms since the
invention of powder in an eulogis-
tic article sent out by the semi
official Wolff Bureau and published
in the German newspapers under

"The orty-two-centimeter mortars

period of the construction of fort
