Refugees Coming Back. This has been a battle of strange sights, but no more striking spectacle has been witnessed than that of these people marching toward homes and comfort back of the British front. Through the very gaps which the tanks had torn in the famous llinden j spoils of war, these archipelagos would give Nippon command of all uccess to the east from the Pacific. The northernmost group lies but 200 miles below the* southernmost part of the Japanese empire. The Mariannas have great possibilities, covering an area of 245 square miles of land, inhabited by only 2,500 South Sea islanders. Just east of our Philippine posses sions lie the Palau and the Caroline islands. The Palau have an extent of 175 square miles of land, with a pop ulation slightly larger than that <.f the Mariannas. The Carolines, double the size of the Paula, contain* 36.000 Malayan inhabitants, with Chinese and Japanese blood intermixed. These archipelagos run out into üv* Pacific* from the far east, connecting with the Marshall islands which are but 1,200 miles from Hawaii at th'* closest point. The Marshalls turn southeastward *d the alle! i*hul The 33 islands in the two total 160 square miles of land ' vliieh live about 15.000 people, four archipelagos, as one .l.ipa- i -da: and tr ,-ore pushing baby g infants or trat with their liable breasts.

I In ihe region of Rumill.v heavy mo , chine gun and rifle fighting nan pro ceeding last night and this morning. West of Cambrai tanks, cavalry and infantry were pressing the attack vig orously about Fontaine Notre Dame ' and the strong position in Bourlon wood. Fontaine Notre I *amo has not been officially reported captured, but the st< rv goes that tank crews were served with hot < offee by the civilians in this place this morning. (Field Marshal Haig's offi< lal report Thursday night said the Germans had retaken Fontaine Notre Dame.) Further north near Bullecourt the British were in ppssession "f the entire underground fortification known as tin tunnel trench, which had been famed for its supposed impregnability. At least five determined counter attacks have been smashed In this region, j Southeast of Bullecourt hard ficht'inr oc curred at Moeuvres I ist night and a [ strong counter attack w as rej ulsed. The last line of tren» h defenses in î the* region of Gantaing has been 1 broken and the British today were firmly established at many points in j the Masnieres-Be iuroia line south of Cam lirai. The Fight at Masnieres. It is now possible to give more de ! tails of Tuesday's battle. In the ad varne south of Cambrai the first hard ; fighting occurred at Bateau wood. ! which lies on the Cambrai highway south of Masnieres. This wood finally 1 was cleared of Germans and the ad vance continued toward Masnieres ! Some opposition w as encountered in a j suburb, hut by 1 o'clock this had been .overcome and the British had crossed ! the L'Escaut canal at a lock. Th' small German garrison fought bitter b to retain Masnieres. The* whole plac i was undermined with dugouts it j whb h the enemy was hidden ^ith ma , chine guns, but the Germans wer forced to give up this place after a sanguinary struggle, alAiough some of them were still holding out in the cel I lars today. Marcoing was taken with small re istanc e on the part of the enemy and , this gave the British a second cross ing of the canal. The advancing troops forced a passage here at |hc same hour as Masnieres was entered ! The Masnieres -Beaurois trench f|ne ! north of Masnieres apparently had tygen reinforced by Germans from CauUjgni. I and this front held up the "advance temporarily with rifle and machine gun fire, hut the British alternately ; j nese leader says, afford a series of excellent naval bases on wliieh Japan may establish the peace of Hast Asia. • If Japan were to lose these naval lueses she would at once be placed in a perilous position, even in peace time." Nippon is building tip lier inter e»ts here, anticipating tin- great eco nomic advantages of tin- Mi ronesians after the war.

Yesterday their line*, stiffened and hard fighting followed. German reinforcements from I .er and tie two companies of invalids already men tioned were thrown into the line The first counter ait.i'k came over the ridge from the northeast of Mas nieres. The fneipy advanced in massed formation a« in the curly days of th** Counter Attacks Withered. ; The British'had concentrated a large j number of machine guns at this point [and were hoping for a counter attack. They permitted the enemy to advance to within a thousand yards of the line before they opened fire. Then the ma < bine guns and artillery were turned on the Germans and they .were smashed in » withering storm At 1 o', lock an attack on Marcoing v.as attempted by the enemy, but, as in the former ease, they were caught in a he î v artillery and machine gun id they turned back aft f A Bayonet Attack. n h . ir later another body of fier is advanced on Novelle», which wa held b> one • -mpany of British troop? Her« -me of the stiffest fighting of the i-air took place at close quarters.; Both sid rushed up reinfonemei and for two hours the battle surged back ind • r t h through the streets i among the buildings. It was a rm in beb the bayonet played the prin cipal part. The Germans fought w< but they ..ere not good enough withstand the fury of the British a sault and gradually they were forced, b«ck a. r«.ss the canal to the east. High Officer Taken Among the prisoners taken by the British *i* several officers who were caught in the regimental headquarters. The r -mo ntai commander was cap tured and it is rerorted that his ad vent int-* the British lines was a par ticularly humorous spectacle. He came tramping ha« k. clad in an elaborate fur « oat, followed by two servants who <arried more of his finery . He was swearing mad at the turn of events. The - glit of a company of British cav alry threw him almost into a frenzy and the lurid language which he di rected at the British drew a smile from 'even the hardened Tomm' who has a somewhat picturestfttie vocabu lary of his own. Civilians of Masnieres. Civilians who were released from Masnieres today told something of their experience» in the last three years. They rejoiced at their new found freedom and many of them to day still wept with joy when the sub ject of their deliverarxv was brought up. ft w as a motley * crowd which came out of this place—people in all conditions and from many walks of life. Among them was the mayor. M. Abstain, a middle-aged man. who acted as spokesman. They first learned of the approach of the British from machine gun fire in the distance They were immediately thrown into a state of excitement and watched for the coming of their friends from every vantage point available. They had their first sight of the ad vancing forces at the bridgehead and saw coming with the attacking troops strange monsters which they never dreamed existed. They were the great tanks, and the people stared in amaze ment. us these mighty engines plowed their way forward.
