.
The utarks in the evening were of even greater intensity: There were hand-to-hand struggles along the line, but the enemy was every where repulsed.
The Russians at dawn re-attacked and advanced at some sections. Nevertheless, the Austrians refused to accept defent and continued for another entire day counter-attacking against Telepotsch.
The Russian observers affirm that the Austrians were well primed with drink. They were superior in mumbers, yet they did not succeed in gaining a foot of ground. 1
Their attacks at nightfall were mainly directed against Zuella, where Russian machine-gun and rifle fire exacted a heavy toll. Then the Rus- sians, with in most brilliant effort, stormed and captured till 972.

Severs! hundred Germans were destroyed, only human debris remaining, The village of Ketamel is famous for its 300-foot mountain--the only one in Flanders. Ita seizure marks an important stop in the tuak of dwinging round the German right wings
The fighting was as fiercoas at Nouse Chapelle. The British advance ruched a trench's space, where they were exposed to a heavy fire while digging in. The action is still in progress, and the British advance has not beef checked.
Eight hundred German prisoners have already been brought in, and everything points to the enemy's losses being greater than at Nouve Chapelle.
German soroplanes have been most active in bombarding oper towns, but they were carefully chased from the British lines; hence they ween unable to learn the preparations for the attack.
The country where the British are fighting is most difficult, owing to the dense population, compelling the troops to fight in strecta, houses, factories, and pithends.
