SAVING THE LINE AT YPRES
STEADINESS OF OUR TROOPS UNDER FIRE.
About 1p.m. a counter-attack was minde by us all along the line between the Canni 24d the Ypres Poelcappello road, and for about an hour we continued to make pro- gress. Then the right and centre wero checked. A little later to lift was also held up, and the situation remained very, much as it had been on the previous day. The Germans were doubtless muca encour. aged by their initial success, and their previous boldness in attack was dow matched by the stubborn manner in which they clung on to their positions. In the evening the French stormed some trenches east of the Canal, but were again checked by the enemy's gas cylinders
BY AN EYEWITNESS AT HEADQUARTERS.)
April 30th, 1915. As will have been gathered from the last summary, assaults accompanied with gas were not made on every position of the front held by the British to the north of Ypres at the same time. At one point it was not until the carly morning of Satur- day, April 24th, that the Germans brought The night passed quietly, and was spent this method into operation against aby us in reorganizing and consolidating section of our line not far from our left oux. positions.

fere. This is not surprising, in view of the fact that by Tuesday evening they had. been fighting for over five days. Their state of exhaustion is confirmed by the statements of the prisoners captured by the French, who, atso reported that the German losses had been very heavy.
On Wednesday, the 59th, there was complete lull on this sector of our line, and the shelling was less severe. Som fighting, however, occurred along the Canal, the French taking over prisoners.
Late on Thursday afternoon the men herd saw portions of the French retiring some distance to the west, and observed the cloud of vapour rolling along the ground southwards behind them. Our position was then shelled with high explo. sive until 8 p.m. On Friday also it was bombarded for some hours, the Germans firing poison shells for one hour. Their infantry, who were entrenched about 120 yards away, evidently expected some result from their use of the latter, for they put their heads abore the parapets, as if-to-see-what the effect had been-en-Nothing of any importane has occur. our men and at intervals opened rapid red on other parts of the front.

On Saturday morning, just about dawn, an airship appeared in the sky to the east of our line at this point, and dropped four red stars, altch floated downwards slowly for some distance before they died out. When our men, whose eyce had not unnaturally been fixed on this display of pyrotechnics, again turned to their front it was to find the German trenches rendered invisible by a wall of greenish-yellow vapour, similar to that observed on the Thursday afternoon. which was bearing down on them on the bree. Through this the Germans start cd shooting. During Saturday they en. ployed stupefying gas on several occasions in this quarter, but did not press on very quickly. One reason for this, given by a German prisoner, is that many of the enemy's infantry re so affected by the fumes that they could not advance.
THE FIGHT FOR ST. JULIEN.
To continue the narrative from the night of Sunday, April 25th. At 19.30 .., in face of repeated attacks, our infantry fell back from a part of the Grafenstafel Hidge, north-west of 2ou beke, and the line then ran for some dis tance along the south bank of the little Hannebeck stream. The situation along the Yperlee Canal remained practically unchanged.
When the morning of the 20th dawned the Germans, who had been seen massing in St. Julien and to the cast of the village on the previous evening, made several assanita, which grew more and more fieres as the hours passed; but reinforcements were sent up and the position was cured, Further cast, however, our line was pierced near Broodseinde, and a small of the enemy established themselves In the in a portion of our trenches, afternoon a strong combined counter attack was delivered by the French and British along the whole -front- from Steenstraat .to the east of St. Julien, accompanied by a violent bombardment.. This moment, so far as can be judged at present, marked the turning point of the battle, for although it effceted no great change in the situation it caused a definite check to the enemy's offensive, relieved the pres sure, and gained a certain amount of ground.

DEVOTION TO: DUTY.
The outstanding feature of the action- of the past week has been the steadiness of our troops on the extreme left; but of the deeds of individual gallantry and devotion which have been performed it would be impossible to narrate one-hun- dredth part. At one place in this quarter a machine gun was stationed in the angle of, a trench when the German rush took place. One man after another of the detachment was shot, but the gun still During this counter-attack the guns continued in action though five bodies concentrated by both sides on this com-lay around it.

In the centre they captured the trenches a little to the south of the Bois des Cuisinirs, west of. St. Julien; and still farther west more trenches were taken. This represented an advance of some 000 or 700 yards, but the gain in ground could not at all points he main tained. Opposite St. Julien we fell back from the village to a position just south of the place, and in front of the Bois des Cuisinirs, and on the left of the line similar retirement took place, the enemy making extensive use of his gas cylindres and of machine guns placed in farms at other points of vantage. Note the less the situation at nightfall was more satis factory than it had been. We were hold. ing our own well all long the line and had made progress at soins peints. On the right the enemy's attack on the front of the Grafenstafel Ridge had all been repulsed.

The wire connecting one battery with its observation officer was severed on nine separate occasions, and on each occa- sion repaired by a sergeant, who did the work out in the open under a perfect hail of shells.
