LONDON, March. 4.
The objectives of these attacks extended to the high ground at Beaucamp and Trescault and the anemy hoped to capture or destroy the whole British foress on the Cambrai salient. This bold sad ambitious plan was foiled on the Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, in a greater part of the front by the splendid Despatch dealing with the Battle of defence of the British Divisions engaged Cambrai, mentions that it was proposed and though the defence temporarily broke to stop the attack 48-hours after its down in one ares the recovery made by commencement, or aquer, if the results the weak forces still left and there did not justify its continuance.

On the other hand, the enemy showed signs of withdrawing and the loss of the ridge would probably have eased the Germans to abandon their carefully prepared defence systems for a consider able distance to the north. The enemy was not yet too strong in the Borlod regios, to be overcome by the numbers at Sir Douglas Haig's disposal. An additions), and most important argument in favour of continuing the attack, was

No steadily-advancing barrage gave warning of the approach of the German asmalt columns, whose secret assembly was assisted by the formation of the ground and the morning mist. It was only when the attack was upon them, that a great number of low flying Germani aeroplanes rained a ma chine-gun fire on our infantry, while the extensive use of smoke shells and bomb made it most dificult for pur troops to see what was happening on other parts of the battlefield. There is little doubt that although, the attack was expected generally, yet in these areas of the battle, the assault effected a local surprise.
Sir Douglas Haig mys the greatest credit is dus to the troops at Masmieres, Bourlan and Mauvres, for their most gallant service on this day. Their steady courage and staunchness saved,

When the position was restored, 25 enemy corpses were found hang ing to the carbed wire. Our casual- ties were very slight.
Another smaller raid against the Australians utterly failed, owing vy the losses inflicted on the enemy.
