HARD BATTLE EAST OF ARRAS

With the British Army in Flanders,
Sunday, Sept. LIN their first fight
ing in Belgium, the Americans cap
German positions in that immediate
vicinity. On their entrance into
Voormezeele the invaders found that
all that remained of the town were
piles of debris, for the shell fire had
been so intense that hardly one brick
was left standing upon another.
AS the Americans advanced the
German rear guards from what little
cover remained opened up with ma
chine guns, but these were quickly
silenced without much trouble. Else
where in the same locality the Amerf-
cans also advanced the line, keeping in
contact with the retreating enemy.
Counter attacks by the Germans re-
suited in their gaining little more
than slight foothold, which in every
case was quickly loosened by British
and American reattacks. In most
places the Germans did not even get
a foothold for the advancing forma-
tions were met with hurricanes of fire
under which they melted away.
Heavy Fighting East of Arras.
There has been especially heavy
fighting in the whirlpool of the battle
around Bullecourt and Hendecourt,
where the British are holding posi-
tions almost resting against the Dro-
court-Queant, or Wotan line. 1t is
believed that Bullecourt 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 the bombers
from the other would filter in and
get the position and then the place
would become most active. From ruin
to ruin. thru cellars and thru old and
new trenches the fighting has con-
tinued and all of the time almost the
same tactics were being followed in
the country surrounding. In the Ian
guage of the British soldiers, it has
been a dog fight here for two days.
The British have retired only when
hefdes of Germans appeared but their
retirement usually has been to the
positions where they could pour ma
chine gun bullets into the enemy
Heavy losses were inflicted upon the
Germans. Just now it appears that
Bullecourt and Mendrocourt are again
in British hands and that the cellars
dugouts and hiding places are being
mopped up. Similar fighting has been
going on in the villages of Escoust ST
Mein and Longatte, and these places
