On the r.ght front of the German attack, fir- ing through open spaces in the woods, were heavy batteries and fleld bat- teries which dealt havoc among the attackers, both before and after they teached our line.

They checked the assault at the most critical mo- ment, thus enabling other troops to come up to repel it more completely.” Other incidents taken up in the re- port are the movement of British cav- alry by motor cars, thus adding one more novelty to the roles which the cavalry has played during the war; the blowing up of a farmhouse con- taining German snipers; the heating of trenches with braziers stoves, and the transport service, whose work in supplying food is commended. “No little part of our success.” savs the report in this connection, *is due to the ample quantity and excellent quality of the food.
