Wednesday morning along a front of
about SMO yards and succeeded tn tak-
ing and holding German position from a
point near the famous Ferryman House
which acquired bloody renown at the and
of lit almost to Boealngh. to a depth
ranging from J000 to iaO yard.
The thick mists ovarlying the abso-
lutely flat country prevented -observers
from watching the tirogresa of the fight-
ing. Even the airman. Including some
Americans wero compelled to keep from
this futile task. Ail ths objective set for
attainment of the French troop were
gained rapidly. How many prisoners were
taken can not be ascertained at present.
The troop found the ground wherever
they adranced terribly churned by ibellr.
The deep craters had immediately filled
with water owing to the land being below
lb see. level and la many instances the
eratera war joined together forming a
string of miniature canal difficult oi
negotiation.
Nevertheless the Frenchmen overcame
the obstacles and also extensive field
of barbed wire attempted amid an awful
barrage fire and showers of machine gun
bullets. The German had occupied the
eastern back of the Year canal tor two
rear fit weitern bank of which was Hi
the hand of the allied troops.
At tha northern flank of the French
Una the country was inundated as far as
Dtxmud. making operation virtually im-
possible in that vicinity. Steenstraete an !
Hetaa on ths canal were soon left behind
by tb French who steadily pressed for-
ward only halting for a breathing spell
whan the first German line came Into
their possession.
Meanwhile hundreds of batteries roared
Incessantly bringing replies from the
powerful German artillery. In the second
stage of the battle the French attack
took them long before noon beyond tha
second line ot German trenches and the
troop halted only when the day' task
set for them had been completed.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
FLANDERS August 1. An extraord-
inarily small number of casualties waa
suffered by the French during Tuesday's
attacks notwithstanding the obstinate
German resistance. The sandy hole-pit
ted ground of the front shows sign to-
day' of the nature of the combat being
covered with German dead and debris.
The Germans who held the positions wore
unable to get away from the terrific
artillery boraBurdment several battalions
being destroyed except for a few hun-
dred men who were captured. This
morning wss occupied in the organisation
of the positions gained and the French
artillery continued a very powerful can-
nonade. Heavy mists turned Into a con-
stant downpour and rain water fills every
crevice of the earth.
The principal fighting during the
French advance occurred around Blx-
choota and in two small woods further
to the southeast where the opposing in-
fantrymen met hand to hand and struar-
gled until all tha German were killed or
captured.
