BRITISH TROOPS REGAIN
CONTALMAISON VILLAGE
Continued from l'nico One
morning of July 7. Bcroro tho British
could organlzo their now positions tho con
centrated batteries of tho Germans bo
tween Combles and Bnpaumo opened up
with a burst of flro which drenched tho
new British position with steel. This can
nonado on tho night of July 7 was followed
by powerful counter-attacks which finally
droo tho English troops out. Since then
a great strugglo has been raging at that
point.
A second drlvo was launched, and nfter
a scries of night attacks the Germans wero
again driven out.
Contalmalson lies between tho Ancro and
Sommo Rivers, about eight miles south of

VIVIIi DESCRIPTION OF GREAT
FIGHT FOR CONTALMAISON
By FREDEttlCK PALMER
pness HEAtQUAtvrEns with the
DIltTISir XVCtUX IN FRANCE, July 11.
It was n. mldsumrder afternoon, with
fleecy clouds, n llh bright sunlight and clear
nlr which was nil any army obsener could
ask, when tho British stormed Contalmalson,
'on tho Sommo lllver front, tho possession
of which both sides Becmed to regard as a
tactical keystone In the present situation.
Fragments of walls of the, old chateaux
still standing amidst tho ruins was tho last
gllmpso the correspondents had In their
prefatory bombardment beforo the attack.
Flftccn-lnch shells from tho British guns
soon toro away this portion of tho ruins,
from which rose a cloud of dust. For a
glen nrea tho artillery flro was tho heav
iest of any yet seen on this front.
Tho Germans answered tho British sholl
Ing with an Immense votume of their own
fire, placing a curtain In front of tho town,
which, at times, hid tho cloud from the
British guns cn eloping tho town and also
scattering shells near tho front line.
Tho British flro kept on Increasing and
spreading and the Germans, In answer, ex
tended tholr shelling until tho lino Btrctched
from Trones wood, another hotly disputed
point which had already become a stretch
of branchless, leafless trunks, to Ovlllers
nnd La Bolsscllc. Along this now front tho
nrtlllcry duel continued to rage.
At 4-40 o'clock, when the British charged,
thero seemed to bo peace In Contalmalson.
But It was noon BUrroundcd by walls of
shellflro. After tho British got In nnd tho
Germans wero forced out, German guns
took their turn In hammering tho ruins and
knocking oft more sections of walls of the
old chateaux.
Whllo tho British wero tossing tho Ger
mans from their second lines It was raining
shrapnel from tho skies.
Tho amount of ammunition tho British nro
expending Is astounding. From one point
tho correspondent wns able to seo from
Albert tho bend of tbo Sommo In front of
Tcronne. Tho present lino of battto Is
mapped across fields, woods, vallcjs nnd
hills by shell bursts.
Nineteen great allied "sausago balloons'
wero visible nnd tho nbsenco of them on tho
German sldo as the result of their destrue-.
tlon by British shells and airships Is held
by artillery obscners to bo a big handicap
to tho Germans.
Over tho French lines speedy Nlouport
aeroplanes dashing past balloons were going
and coming at tho rate of 120 miles an hour,
and ns one British officer said, "theso llttlo
machines with their smart build and tall
held high express tho feelings of tho
French."
FBENCH RACE FOB VICTORY.
Passing through tho French lines tho
correspondent noted that tho French had
something of tho gnloty associated with
thlr national tompcrament Instead of tho
grlmncss to bo associated with them in
war.
Tho sharp competition between two fa
mous French army corps as they pressed
forward to tako Blachcs, which puts tho
French on tho Sommo with a gain of six
miles In depth, has sot every Frenchman's
cyo flashing.
Every vlllago taken hnd been razed by
Bhell flro, but thero wns no complaint, only
rejoicing when the vlllago was captured.
Tho Germans havo concentrated heavily
between the Ancro nnd tho Sommc, whero
thero Is no rhcr between them and the
Allies, and arc evidently dctormtned to dis
pute tho advanco that endangers their main
second lino step by step.
