Our observers have seen the"' Germans running out of Bullecourt. We ought to get the place in n couple of hours." These troops hnvo done gallantly since they came into this battle on August 23. They had an eight hours' march over rough ground and went stiaight into the attack against Boyelles and Boiry-de-Courellcs, which they captured easily with 700 prisoners. The lads were very tired after three nights without sleep and with little water, and had hard fighting on the way to Croiselles, nnd n worse time fifterward outRlde the village, wharo they found themselves under the incessant sweep of machine-gun bullets fiom the village, which was crammed with Geiman machine gunners. Checked By Machine Guns They tried to rush the place seveial times but were checked by that infernal flre. Other bodies of them got up toward the Hindenburg line, helped by Scots, who came lound to the north of Croiselles and through the Hindenbuig line nnd threatened to encircle .he vil lage. The Getmans in Croi'elleq saw this menace, and their mnchine gun teams filteied out of it under Biitish gunfite, which killed many of them before they could escape. Later one of the British oificeis mounted his horse and rode very calmly and quietly into that strong hold. He found it deserter, so it was occupied by the Biitish. Two platoons of these troops had a queer and hazardous ndvehtuie on the way up. At n place called Fooley trench they found they plunged into a hornet's nest with machine guns on each side of them and n special smoke barrage had to be put tip for them so thnt they could get back behind its veil. "They were as good ns the Guards," said soniq of the Guards themselves on tho morning of the recent nttack, and that is piaise worth having from men who have a fine pride in themselves. Their of ficers cannot sny too much in ad miration of these bovs, who, nfter long and hard fighting in earlier battles, have gone forward again with such high spi-its nnd patient coura-je nnd gtim striking power. Tlije captute of Croiselles is of big importance to the geneial scheme of things, opening the way to a futthcr ndvnncc on Bullecourt. It forces the enemy back to the Drocourt-Queant line, which he will hold for a time if he can with a kind nf outer bastion of trenches' swinging in a loop, which leaves Bullecourt on the B-itish side of it Situation Favors Bri(lh The situation Tuesday remained in faor of tho British despite .ef forts by the enemy to beat back the attack and retake some of his lost piound. The Highlanders north of the Scarpe had held on to Rocux with its famous and hoirible ruin of chemical works. Just beyond and south of the river, the Biiti&h aie on the Wancourt biidge, well east of Monchy hill nnd 300 yards or so west of the high wood called the Bois-de-Sait. The Canadians Mon day had made a general advance of 6000 yards, with the capture of 2000 KB JlfelTfiwK?stvf. "."".i' of " '" " designed to take the uncertainty out ef tire-buixng. erience talks we have 1895. Since House of Michelin (founded 1'832) has concentrated on the production of pneumatic tires only, and today has fac tories in the United States, France, England and Italy, with selling branches in every corner of the world., Thus the scientific brains of the entire globe have been and are at Michelin's disposal. More and Better Materials is the Michelin watchword. Yet Michelin Tires are not high priced. 1 POTT srns Hj WJ "aaa" w ;,ti"arf" t.

They had to make up di visions and bits of divisions al ready cut to pieces in the recent battles. Odd battalions nnd com panies were mixed together in n chaotic way nnd told to go forward and fight. The German bandsmen and transport drivers received rifles and were sent into the lines with orders to stand or die. In an area of three miles there were sixteen battalions made up from five shattered divisions and hopelessly mixed round about Mon tnuban. Further north, by Mory and Chcrisy, the Thirty-sixth nnd Twenty-third German divisions, both di vis'ons of storm troops, had been so smashed that nnother division which had been already in the bloody fighting, so that many com panies weie down to vwenty-live men instead of 120, had to be sent up in their suppoit. Befote their counter-attack on Mory on August 22. the Seventeenth German army command issued a boasting ordc- which said. "We have completely defeated four nnd a half Biitish divisions nnd, what is more, they know it!" Four of their divisions weie oulercd foiwaid to counter-attack and retake Moyen- nevillo and Ablainzeville, but only n few men got to the railway nnd there were many nonstarters, as tho fi-itish sny. Those who did attempt to adance were caught by our ar tillery nnd slaughtered. One battal ion hear St. Legcr found thnt lcgi mentsi on the right nnd left of them had failed and it was stianded. Broke Commander's Nose The British troops saw the situ ation of these men nnd surrounded them fo that thrjy were forced to sunender in a mass to the nuirAcr of 215. The compnny commander of the Seventy-third Fusilieis, whore nose seems to have been broken by his men, wns furious at hnvlnjr been sent into tho firing line after the drendful slaughter of his regiment, nntl cursed his command in strong language, Prisoners also complained of their artillery firing as much ns 600 yards short, and so killing their own men. Two new German divisions were bi ought up against the Canadians nnd the Thirty-fifth, which had been manning the Diocourt-Queant line, was ordered to go forward at 7 o'clock Tuesday night and retnke .Monchy, that high old hill which I saw under fire yesterday but still .securely In Biitish hands. Again there we-e many nonstaiters. By the results of this attempted nttack one can picture truly enough the sullen revolt of the dispirited men. Some units came forward un der the sweep of the Biitish gUns, whose fire was enormously strong er thnn theiis in this part of the line, and fell under one of those slopes of death. A few lesoltite lodies of men made as much as 400 va-dg of ground and there stayed, being wiped out man-by-man. Once again the Thirty-fifth Ger man division was ottieretl to ud v snee on Monchy, but after a dis organized effoit by tho bravest men they dtifted back. For a time, at any rats, the German infantry, apart from tho machine gunnerr who were still most gallant and le-ioluto, lost thep spirit nnd had that time DMHitraliaa tW ararM- Rnt waaaialli aatt-uMU tlra Mlchalln 1S?S ift.tt Wft t-n:T ?mwwwii?. r -.
