GERMAN TRENCHES WON BY BRITISH Kaiser’s Forces Fight Desperately to Regain Comfortable Dugouts British Headquarters in France, Oct. 5.—The scene of the British at- tack in the Lens region in a flat min- ing country—slag heaps, mine pits, ruined buildings, splintered and fell- ed trees and earthworks churned by explosions — with slightly rising ground toward Loos and Lens, Nothing is visible except the soft puffs of shrapnel bursting and vol- Imes of black smoke from British and German high explosive shells, marking positions where the British troops are organizing their gains and the Germans are preparing a new de- fensive line. Church Heap of Stone. It gives infinite satisfaction to the British, who had long looked at the eyesore twin terrors of the mining works at Loos, that they now have in their possession this German posi- tion, The church at Loos, which had Leen used as an observation post, is a heap of stones as the result of the bombardment preceeding the attack. The normal population of Loos is 10,000 pore miners and their families. Three hundred of these remained dur- ing the battle, taking shelter in the cellars of their wrecked, miserable homes. One old woman who cooked for the Germans is now cooking for the British. As the skirmish line approached the town, it saw six women and a child coming toward it in the midst of the battle. Some of the British soldiers turned from the firece bus- iness of the charge to rescue them, but before they could get the women under some sort of shelter, two of them were wounded, Electric Lights in Dugouts. The elaborateness and permanerncy of the German trenches indicated the apparent conviction of the Germans in the security of their line. Dugouts often thirty feet deep were cemerNed and contained electric lights and arm- | chairs. Some of them were impene- trable even to high explosive shells of big caliber. The British bombardment cut the wire in front of the German trenches to bits and battered the firing trenches and tranverses into irregu- lar piles of earth. Under such a flail- The relish = that always {2 pleases. POMPEIAN OLIVE OIL ALWAYS FRESH- PURE -SWEET AWARDED GOLD MEDAL SAN FRANCISCO EXPOSITION ing of shells, it was suicidal for the Germans to attempt to remain outside the dugouts, or try to man their ma- chine guns or use their rifles. ‘When the artillery work was per- fected, the British infantry sprang over the parppets at a given moment. Sprinting toward the German trench, ! they arrived almost without opposi- tion. Then the German trench was theirs, with the Germans who were alive huddled in their caves, Some of the dugouts had been demolished and had in them fragments of German bodies mixed with the debris. Others had their openings blown in by shell explosions, and their occupants were either buried or suffocated. Bombs Thrown into Dugouts. ‘When a dugout had been unharmed the British soldiers, with bayonets fixed, or bombs in hand, appeared at the entrance to find the Germans still inside, or perhaps just starting out. All in the dugout might surrender, or on the other hand, if a British sol- dier started to enter of even showed himself, he was received with a fus- illade. In case of refusal to sur- render, bombs were thrown into the dugouts without the thrower expos- ing himself- The Germans surviving the explosion usually gave in, though not always, for some of them died to the last man. In these sudden encounters at close quarters, where the charging Briton met a German emerging from his dugout, the bayonet, bombs and even fists were sometimes brought Into play ip the ensuing melee. One, ifficulty was the gathering and guardidg of prisoners in such a con- fined space as the irregular wrecked trenches, With rifles and bombs ly- ing about, the Germans even after capitulating, were likely to seize them and rush to the cover of a transverse trench, or into a shell crater and re- new the fight. Germans Fought Desperately. The British are keeping to the tac- tical plan undertaken by them to gain a certain amount of ground wth each attack. The Germans fought desperately and,the viciousness of their counter- attacks apparently was due to rage over the loss of their comfortable dugouts, which had cost them so much painstaking labor and the un- pleasant prospect of a winter in the mud building new caves. The rear of the army during the action presented a varied scene, which was the more concentrated because of the narrow front of the operations. There were the slightly wounded walking back, the steady tramp of fresh regiments going forward, pro- cessions of swift, smooth running mo- tor ambulances whose burdens would be back in England in twenty-four hours, longer and seemingly endless processions of powerful motor trucks loaded with shells to feed the hungry, ever-thinking unseen guns, troops of the reserves in the flelds or beside the gorged roads waiting their call, while the French population stood in their doorways and asked for the latest news from officers and men who knew nothing except concerning their own parts in the big scheme of things, Chill Autumn Rain. Sunday after the attack succeeded a chill autumn rain fell, covering the fleld with mist and making a observation difficult. The troops ff ing in the new line were drench the skin. Dead and wounded B and Germans lay side by side there had been eddies of flerce flict. The canvas rifie sheaths o soldiers moving up in reserve little streams of water, and the diers who came back from the were white with the chalky mul the ground where they had dug t selves in as they fought. At a place mear the front a of captured guns, guarded by a ing British sentry, seemed an at tion more symbolic of suacess to inhabitants than the parties of man prisoners. The distances of the last rang which they before British infantry enguifed them were fired chalked on some of the gun shi Perhaps the most interesting is a Russian machine gun takes the Germans from the Russian the eastern front and now retak: the British. Germans Well Clothed. The German prisoners. were clothed, neat and fresh in their fortable dugouts, where they caught by surprise, but evidently appreciated the generosity of British rations. Three thousand oners were taken by the i which was a small percentage of German loss. The captured Ge trenches still continue under fire. YOUR SICK CHILD IS CONSTIPATED! LOOK AT TONG Hurry, Mother!
