Bullecourt Is Won and Lost
Three Times; Huns Desperate
In Defense of Hindy's Line

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FLANDERS, Sunday Sept lin their
first fighting in Belgium, the Ameri-
cans captured Voorme1eele and several
strong German positions IN that i'm
mediate vicinity On their entrance into
Noormezeeele the invaders found that
all that remained of the town was
piles OF debris, for the shell fire had
been so intense that hardly one brick
was left standing upon another
Machine Guns Easily Silenced.
As the Americans advanced, the Ger
man rear guards from what little cover
remained opened up with their machine
guns, but these were quickly sienced
without much trouble. Elsewhere in the
same locality the Americans also ad-
yanced the line, keeping in contact with
the retreating enemy Counter attacks
by the Germans resulted in their gain
ing little more than a slight foothold.
which in every case was quickly loos
cned by British and American re-at-
tacks. In most places the Germans did
not even get a ioothold for the al
yancing formations were met with hur
rlcanes Of fire under which they melted
away.
Bulleeourt Thrice Won.
II is believed that Bulecourt itself
has thrice been lost and won in the past
two days. First the British were in
the town and then the Germans While |
one side had the control, the machine
gunners and bombers from the other
would filter in and get the position
and then the place would become most
active. From ruin TO ruin, through |
cellars and through old and new
trenches the fighting has continued and |
all OF the time these same tactics were |
being followed in the country sur
rounding. In the language of the Brit |
ish soldiers, il has been "a dog fight" |
here for two DAYS.
The British have retired only when
hordes OF Germans appeared but their
retirement usually has been TO the 20. |
sitions where they could pour machine |
gun bullets into the enemy Heavy
losses were inflicted upon the Germans. |
Ground Heaped With Dead.
The ground in front Of the British |
lines throughout this region is piled |
with dead Germans. for the British
have not hesitated to temporarily re-
tire slightly in the face OF strong en-
eny attacks when il appeared that their |
own strength could thereby he con-
