COULDN'T MISS THEM
Germans So Thick and Close Like Fir
ing at Solid Wall.

London, March 25.-The Germans
swarmed over No Mans Land in such
great numbers in their first attack
that it was impossible for the British
gunners to miss them, telegraphs the
correspondent at British headquarters
in France of the Daily Express. Two
batteries at Epehy fired steadily with
open sights at four hundred yards for
four hours. Telling of the thrilling ex-
plot of Leicestefshire troops, the cor
respondent says
''Persieres was held for a time by
two companies of Leicestershires as
sisted by two tanks. The enemy kept
pressing them back, however, and one
company was completely cut off In
stead of surrendering they held to the
village until only a few men were left.
Then the surviving officer led them
in a charge thru two lines of Germans
and they fought their way back to our
main body"
