TOTAL OF 500,000 LOST. Even Cooks and Chauffeurs Helped Hold Back Foe From Calais. By William G. Shepherd. LONDON, March 6 (by mail to United Press)—"I was present at Hooge between 2 and 8 o'clock on this day.” These thirteen days will ring down through the ages in English history. They were written by Sir John French in his official report of the Battle of Yprea on Oct. 8h It has“taken the English people five months to learn what a sitet ilee | crisis in the history of an empire lie: behind this phrase, For the first time | it is now possible to make public the details of that thrilling and tremen- dous hour between 2 and 3 o'clock “at Hoore.” They were sixty short, terrible minutes which were the climax to | twenty days of terrific fighting. Each | day had seen a battle historic in its intensity, but the daily fighting was only skirmishing compared with the struggle that came on Oct. 31. The fate of France was decided in each clock tick and the future of the Eng- lsh Empire was hanging in the bal- ance, |FRENCH OROERED TO HOLD GAP AT YPRES. The Germans had taken Antwerp and were swinging down toward the English Channel and Calals. Sir John French and his men had been entrusted with the duty of stopping the gap in the allies’ lines between Armentieres and Ypreé. For twenty days French had been strengthening his line until he had 120,000 men, but, during the same time, the Germans had been piling up their forces, until, on the morning of Oct. 31, there were nearly four Ger- man army corps facing the centre of the English General's line. This centre was held by F ‘s first army corps under Sir Douglas Haig. Four Germans to one Englishman were the odds, An English flying man came down out of the sky that morning. He was white and sick. “It isn’t the shrapnel I mind,” he sald, as he staggered into head- quarters. “But, my God, if you could see the millions of Germans and then look at our thin little English line. And the Germans are all mov- ing toward us.” Gen. French realised that, after twenty days of sparring, the Ger- mans had decided where to strike. The Kaiser himself had sent werd that this battle of Oct, 31 “was of vital importance. Sir Douglas Halg's forty thousand Englishmen to hold the line against, perhaps, 180,000 Germans, The battle began early with con- tests along the whole lin atanding near tavern, where he ‘hi six towns, villages ‘and settlements were involved. ROYAL SCOTS FUSILEERS REGI- MENT WIPED OU’ Back at Ypres Gen, French studied the battle by means of maps. As the day advanced the fighting on the ings grew less; in the centre it grew flercer and flercer; the burden of the Bored was falling on the First Army Co! Generals began to send back w pressure was be- coming too strong to resist, Almost every minute some English regiment was either suffering some catas- trophe or achieving feat. .
