THE GERMANS' BARBAROUS METHODS.
THE BRITISH UPSET THEIR PLAN,
LONDON, April 30. The Eye-Witness at Henchjiturters says that the Geman play was to make a sudden onslaught south-westwards with the object of gaining a crossing over the Canal south of Bisschoote. getting will behind the British Left Wing, in a position to threaten Ypres. Some time after the gus had been released the Germans charged over the practically unresist ing French Colonial, who were itamediately affected by the gas, and pressed silently and swiftly south and west. They were able to over run and surprise a large proportion of the French troops billétted beltind the Front, and bring one, French guns, and-abes ours, under a hot ritt Fire at close range,
SPLENDID BRITISH RESISTANCE.
The withdrawal of the French Coloniis and the sigla of the wall, of rapour following them was the first intimation to the British Left that all was not well, arul as the flank was exposed the British were ondered to retire to St. Julien,
Their splendid resistance saved the situation. Meanwhile the Ger ans hetty shelled various tactical points north of Vpress Our reserver neur Ypres had gathered in groups discussing the situation when sud denly a Staff Officer rode up and ordered them to stand to their armus. In a few minutes they were marching northwards to the scene of the fight.
Nothing more impressive could he imagined than the sight of the British falling in quietly and in perfect order and the wild confusion) caused by paule-stricken refugees, pho were summing the roads.
LEADERS' PRESENCE OF MIND,
In the meantime a confused" fight was proceeding north and north- enal of Ypres, giving evidence not merely of the gallantry and steadiness of the above troops but of the remarkable presence of mind of the leaders. Behind the wall of vapour came the "Ciernans with their mouths and uoses protected by paris soaked in bicarbonate of soda, like a huge mob: rushing in a town. A battery of 4.7 inchers was surprised and over- whelmed in a filament, Several held latteries further to the rear were unable to come into action till the tiernans were within a few hundred yards, but not a gun was lost. One battery, taken in the Bank, swung round, and fired point blank and checked the enemy's rush. Another opened with the guns pointing in almost opposite directions. The enemy heing on three sides, was under the heaviest cannonade. now opened but the British infantry, threatened by the advame of vastly..
The German superior numbers, slowly retired without any sign of confusion to St. Julien, fighting every step of the way.
GERMAN BATTALION SEVERELY HANDLED, ̧
Help was soon forthcotning, for the reserves, whose offers without waiting for ordene, fed them forward, attacked the Germans with the bayonet. A meler ensued, in which we more thar held our own, both aides losing heavily. One Germien Lattalion especially was severely handled, and ita Colonel is amung our prisoners. Other reinforcements arrived in the night. The fell fighting continued in the moonlight. Wo mode repcuted buyonet charges, and drove back the energy and recovered the heavy guns,
The situation was now somewhat restored immediately north of Ypres, but the eneniy farther west crossed the Canal, and occupied Steens fraete and Hetras. Crossing three-quarters of a mile to the south, be held several points on the west bank. We were shelled all night.
Two heavy Geman attacks at Broodseindle, east of Zumnebeke, at 1.30 in the morning were repulsed.
YPRÉS IN FLAMES,
Ypres was now in flames as the result of the intense bombardment on the early morning of the Brl inst. With the co-operation of the French, we strongly counterattacked. Entering the wood west of St. Julien, we attacked the Germans with the bayonet. We had to advgnee in the open, but the dash of the troops was splendid. The case of one 1 is typical of many. This man had his rifle smashed by a bullet, but he fought with an entrenching 'tool. The losses on both sides wer

THE SECOND BATTLE OF YPRES
LONDON, April 30.
The Eyewitness at Headquarters, in a commentation dated April 27th, says the German offensive which resulted in the second battle of Tprea was not unexpected, inca movements of troops and transports behind their frost had been detected for some days. But the peculiarly novel nature of the attack was a surprise, which was largely responsible for the measure of success achid.
The attack was originally Axed for April 20th, but was postponed "Il the 12nd, when a steady north wind favoured the action of the asphyxiating vapour. Besides the gas apparatus the Germans employed asphxisting grenades, bombs, and shells.
The enemy's determined offensive, though it menscad Ypres itself, has not bad up to the present the appearance of a great effect to pierce the lina and capture the Channel ports as in October last,"
The only result has been to inspire our troops with greater determination to make the enemy pay tenfold for avery act af frightfulanss committed.
