This Is, of course, to- avoid the shell fire concen trated upon definite lines and to keep his battalions as far back us possible.- It Is not a pleasant situation for the outpost parrlson, who are often cut off for . time from rations and their way back by a barrage of shell fire which is flung behind them. With tho Australians against them, they know that any time of the day or nigh tthey are likely to be looking Into the glint of bayonets. So It happened to them last eve ning. Quite suddenly the Australian attack oened with an enterprise of a party of four, who went across to a German strong point and returned soon afterward with the astonishing number of more than thirty prisoners. Then a bigger crowd dt Australian lads got on the move nnd went as dep as 800 yards and as wide ns 2000 yards over No Man's Land and the German outpost line.
