- a special correspondent tells Of an
exceedingly hot fight that the Amcri-
cans and Australians had with the
Germans last Monday near ST. Quen-
tin at n point where the st. Quentin
canal runs for nearly fiv" miles under
- mountain. There are wide tow
paths on both sides of the canal tun
mel. and since their occupation tn"
GrTQlans hay" dug num"rCus passages
under the mountain from the canal
tunnel and the passages are lighted
with electricity. The Germans were
stationed in the tunnel and in the
passages I'm large numbers. The Amer
leans crossed the canal over the top OF
the uDuntain In the direction Of -.
Quentin and rs they passed the south
end of the tunnel the Germans .camc
ont against them In large numbers.
There followed Il terribly bloody fight.
in which the Australians. who were,
coming behind. Joined and the mouth
uf the tunnel was literally chokcd
with German dead. At the time when
the dispatch was written the Amcri.
cans and Australians had command Of
the situation on the outside: but there
were still thousands of Germans in tn,

British acquired second bridgehcad

Il method or crossing the canal in the
centre OF the attack in the direction of
Moeuvres. where there WAS no bridge
head. The artillery by dawn had
destroyed the masonry banks of
the canal. Then several Supcrannuat-
ed tanks, on the top of which was the
necessary gear for the construction
of bridges. were launched into the
ChaSm. Fighting tanks crossed the
canal over the backs OF the tanks in
the big ditch. At Marquion and Hav-
rincourt the canal was crossed in thS
most gallant manner, as the brldEe-
heads were under fire. Phe whole

aware OF the Importance OF the line at
