With the Ilrilish Armies In Trance,
Sept. 30.
The British progress all along tho
lino from the Arras-Cambral toad
down to the neighborhood of La Vac
querio continued, with hard fighting
oppo.slto our Third Army front, and
Sunday morning tho Fourth Army,
south of that battle area, delivered
, ,, nttack on a wid(, front. extending
tho zone of conflict across the Canal
lu Descnut north of St. Qucntin, and
breaking through that part of the
IIIndenbuiK line, with Its most
formidable defenses.
This new attack began with the
morning In a dense fog. It was so
thick that when I went up to Lever
guler, the ground on which looks
straight across the canal, I could not
see tho length of a gun team ahead.
The frost of the night was evaporated
by tho sun, which lose brightly above
this ground mist, and made a thick
white haze, which was filled with
.smoke of tho guns and smoko screens
put up to hldv the movement of our
tanks nnd infantry.
It pioduced a weird effect such as
I had never seen lu this war. Bodies
of men were moving In close array
following up the first assault columns,
lint thev could only be seen an through
a glass darkly and no man was visible
twenty paces ahead. Our transports
and batteries moved up the track to
ward the canal crossing at Belleng
Use, nnd as tho mist shifted for a
moment ono saw them as ghost figures
of men and beasts, and then a minute
later they disappeared and one seemed
In utter loneliness txcept for the
sound of wheels going over the rough
ground and the tramp of horses' hoofs
and tho march of men.
Kverywhere hidden In this fog were
the guns. They were In sunken roads.
In folds of fields, out in Ntho open
country nnd under cover of woods, but
one could see nothing of them, not
even a flash of them, but bear only
their vast tumult of flro and rush of
shells overhead, then something very
horrible. In this darkness and noise
It was as though an Infernal night
mare were let loose around mo. It
was Impossible to know one's where
