The attack was made along i front of three-quarters of a mile undc cover of darkness. The British battalions were forme? in comparatively close order, ami at th? whispered word of command, repente? along the line, trudged forward int. the night. Grim and silent figures the-, w-ere, some in k.l;% some in plair khaki, each man wearing a steel helmet each having a firm gip of his rifle with bayonet, the polished surface ol which, however, caught no refloctinp glinl in the enveloping darkness.

There is little more to tell. The : of the lighting in the trenches was lost in the ?British barrage, which closed down some distance behind the German position immediately the Brit? ish signalled they had entered the po? sition. This barrage cut off any (?ri? man who attempted to flee from the bayonet charge. Thus, in ten minutes, with the silent bayonet was secured a position which had held out for two days. The bayonet also has come in effec ?n dealing with the ?vei-trouble ?ome machine guns and gunners. A few brave men, stealing out in the night, have been able to accomplish much. Several British battalions ha ported in the last few ??ays that the Germans are again employing the old "Kamerad" lenly standing up .hallow trenches and holding un their hands and shouting acre their opponent* that they would sur? render. Two battalions, believing the sincerity of this proposal, started ?CTO.--S to bring in the prisoners, but were immediately attacked.

It is owned and used by the head of practically EVERY large Bank, Manufacturing Concern, Mercantile Institution, Government Department, University and College in the United States, Great Britain and Canada, India, Japan, South America and Australia. It is owned and used by the Rulers of the following govern? ments: United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Austro-Hungary, Spain, Italy, China, Thibet, Australia, India, the Argentine, Brazil and 18 other countries. The Encyclopaedia Britannica is also in over 15,000 public libraries in the various countries of the world. (And of the popular "Handy Vol? ume" Issue of this work, which is sold only in the United States, over 100,000 sets have been sold in 15 months.) These LESS than 1,000 sets of the Cambridge University issue printed on India paper are the ONLY SETS LEFT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, and no more can be pro? duced because no more India paper can be procured to print it on. There? fore, if you want to own this great work in its finest form, go TODAY to the store whose name is given be? low and see the different bindings and order it NOW if you wish to own it at all. (You can at the same time see the popular "Handy Volume" Issue and compare it with the Cam? bridge University issue.) Or else sign the convenient order form below, and mail it TODAY. In England and in other countries people are advertising l'or second? hand sets, now that there are no more to be had in those countries. And it will soon be the same in this country. And so we say, if you wish to secure a set of the Encyclopaedia Britannica in its finest and most con? venient form, ACT AT ONCE. Never again can the Britannica be offered to you in this form be? cause it is impossible to obtain or make anymore genuine India paper. That every man should own a set of the Britannica goes without say? ing?the only question now is, which issue and which binding to choose. And within two weeks or so you will not be able to secure a set in either issue at any price. 75,000 people would never have chosen the Cambridge University is? sue if they had not been thoroughly convinced of the advantage to them of having the work in this form. It costs more than the "Handy Volume" Issue, and it's worth more?very much more. The pride and pleasure you will take in possessing the work in this form will last a lifetime, and you will feel repaid many times for the additional outlay which has placed in your hands not only the most valu? able reference library in the world, but a superb set of books on genuine India paper so beautifully printed and so handsomely bound that it will do credit to the richest surroundings. BUT, make up your mind NOW either that you do want it and then order it at once, or else that you will be satisfied to do without it not only for the present, BUT FOR ALL TIME.
