men surrendered to the British, who
have steadily closed In upon them,
using bombs and trench mortars, the
Germans being short of food.
In an enormous cellar at Beanntin
le Petit the British found several
hundred Germans who had taken
refuge there. It was tragic business
for the British litter bearers bringing
them back through the German
shell Are which was meant for the
British reserves and gun positions.
There were cases where a litter hearer
was wounded and put on a stretcher
emptied when a wounded German
on it had been killed by the same
shell. The British oersisted until all
who had not received a fatal wound
in transit were safe In the rear.
A captured remnant of a German
battalion showed that 600 of its
number were killed or wounded by
the British shell (Ire In the bombardment

In that memorable year the party

It may ho well to Insert
right here, that the outcome of the
