They were nowhere actually de feated, however. Their main tn- trenchments atill held. The rival forces’ attempts to take) one another's positions by storm | had nearly all failed, with such en ormous losses that they were mu tually attempting to make them un-} tenable by shelling them. For deadiiness, experts said this| rtillery duel was something un ented in the history of war p fare Only after the artillery had done its work were charges ordered. As soon as a line showed signs of| wavering, it was rushed at the point of the bayonet. The allies had had the better of this give and take, capturing a number of German positions, and making some progress During the first five days’ fight ing the fury of the Germam attacks had been almost beyond belief. They were directed especially against the allies’ center. Again and again the kaiser’s men came on, seemingly indif- ferent to death, and each time their lines melted away before the allies’ artillery. The casualties were declared to have been awful.
