They regained all the ground lost in
the Cambria battle and have taken
back sections of the territory taken
from them in the Somme offensive of
last year.
The fighting was not by any means
continual German advance. The
British counter-attacked heavily and
fought for every foot of ground.
Details of the Fighting.
In one battle on the extreme left
the Germans employed not less than
nine divisions in an effort to break
through. For three days the three
British divisions held them at bay.
Finally, under weight of numbers, the
British retired behind the line marked
by the ruined villages of Bullecourt,
East Nogueil and Croiselles.
The next morning the Germans re-
newed the attack, striking northward
from Fontainelles and Croiselles and
westward from Cherissy. They drove
in mass formation wave after wave,
toward the heights between Henin-sur-
Cojeul to Henin hill
Two hours of drum fire, in which
gas and high-explosive shells were
mingled, preceded the infantry attack.
From eight o'clock in the morning I'M
til noon continuous waves of gray-clad
troops stormed the heights.
British machine guns posted on the
ridge swept down line after line of
Germans. BY three o'clock in the aft
ernoon the Teutons had succeeded in
pressing past Henin hill on both sides
and threatened to cut off the machine
gunners posted on the crests. Not
until then did the latter retire and re-
join the main British force.
Similar fighting was going on at the
same time on the right wing. Tremen-
dous pressure was brought to bear
around st. Leger, Vaux and Vrau-
court 1t lasted all day.
At times under the German blows
the British line sagged heavily, but at
no point did it give way.
Desperate Defense of vauIx.
A bitter battle was fought for pos
session of Vaulx, but British machine
gunners posted ia the ruins of the
village held the Germans at bay. A
ruined factory served as a fortress
despite the Smelling to which 1t was
subjected.
Not until late in the afternoon was
it impossible for the British to hold
the town longer. Even then the re-
treat only went for thousand yards.
The British rear guard fought every
step of the way, and, returning to the
main body, a counter-attack was
launched against the Germans in pos
session. Of Vaulx and the village was
regained.
The fighting continued all night.
Finally Vaulx had to be abandoned
before heavy night attacks, but only
because German forces had pushed
driving to the attack of MoIy.
Another bitter struggle was fought
around Croiselles. At Mory Scottish
and English troops inflicted tremen-
dous losses on the Germans.
Sunday Battle South of Peronne.

dous All day long heavy forces of |
Germans endeavored to force a cross

ENJOYING VACATION HOUSE
Generosity of Man Who Made it Pos
sible Is Appreciated.

Editor of The Reformer:-
Our tw 1weeks stay at Vacation
House is rapidly drawing to close, and
all too soon we must return to our
homes and take up our accustomed
duties, after most delightful and rest
full time. All seem to have enioved ia
the full the days spent at this, our
temporary, home, and it is with regret
we say goodbye and turn our faces
homeward.
Some of our party have enjoyed the
bathing and boating, and others have
been content to sit on the broad piazza
where there is usually good breeze
from the water and with knitting pass
the pleasant hours away, with now and
then a trip to New London or to Ocean
Beach, where there is more gaiety.
A picnic one day at Crescent Beach
was pleasant change, the sea air Civ,
ing all a fine appetite for the good
things furnished by the household staff
who are always mindful of our com
fort and to whom we owe much of oui
enjoyment.
In short, cheer and good nature have
abounded and the days spent here vii
ever be n pleasant memory, and we viii
never forget the kindness and gener
! osity of the good man who made Vaea
ton House possibility.
