GAS BOMBS EFFECTIV Germans Mowed Down by the Torture Device Which They Invented. LONDON, Aug. lowing up the stroke by which British troops yesterday regained control of the Village of St. Julien, on the Flan- ders front, the French last night | moved ahead in their part of the line, making further progress weet of Kortekeer Caboret. This was announced by Sir Doug- las Haig, who telegraphed that on the Belgian front the Entente allied troops made further progress east of the point meritioned. Paris also an- nounced the forward movement of the French. Al: the positions east of Monchy le Preux, on the Arras battlefront in France, which were captured by the Germans Thursday night have been retaken by the British, according to the statement issued to-day by the British War Office. British guns were to-day turned on Roulers, nine miles northeast of their present lines. That Belgian non-combatants are being hemmed up tn the town and forced to die in the fire of their allies’ guns is the charge made here te-day. The charge is based on a paragraph in the official German bul- letin asserting that “the town of Roulers, to which a great part of the Belgian population had fled from the battle zone before the fire of thelr liberators, was bombarded by the enemy with his heaviest guns.” Captured Germans say the British fas shell bombardment on the two nights before the bombardment was particularly effective, and that the Germans suffered terrible losses. The Guard Fusiliers were heavily gassed Sunday and Monday nights. A Ger- man division held in support near the Ypres-Menin road suffered so severely it had to be relieved, It is the just irony of fate that in this section, where the Germans suf- fered so heavily from gas, the Ger- | mans first treacherously loosened their potson gas fumes against the Canadians two years ago, Ypres, and compelled the Allies to in retaliation, the use of a weapon of warfare that civilized nations had barred, but for using which the Ger- the adopt, mans had so long and carefully pre- pared, Paris Also Heports Advance on Flanders y | PARIS, Aug. 4.—Despite the con Unued bad weather along the battle front in Belgium, says an official statement {ssued this afternoon by the French War Offic« pushed forward last night, beyond the Cabaret of Ke _ FOUR REGIMENTS TO MOVE.
