CHARGE SMASHED BY OUR FIRE
[BY THE TIMES SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]
The official communique has told you of the failure of the Prussian Guard in a counter-attack which they attempted to rake against the Wiltshirea and Wor cestershires after those troops had made their very successful push of the 24th towards Thiepral. It now appears that the experience was about as humiliating as any which the Guardly can ever have had to submit to

Of the original capture of the trenches I love today heard of many details such us an" onlooker, From where I was situ ated, could not sen. Perhaps the inost striking story was that of one of our off ers, who practically cleared out a stretch of the trench by himself:

BESIEGED FORTRESS.
GRAVE GENERAL ADMISSIONS.
Apparently, as a reply to the demands of those who in Germany are constantly wanting to know what Germany's pence terms are, the Frankfurter Zeitung in review of the two years of war, bluntly tells its readers that they are besieged, sud that only the besiegers enn now end the struggle. It says:
It seems that our advance there was a gap in our line which left 50 yards or so of the enemy trench unassailed. Over Buel shell-torn, ridge-and-furrow ground, and under such fire as was going on, this Ay hitherto, Germany will cunose to might well happen. So this stretch of plans to destroy its aational existence the Some 50 yards of trench was still occupied ion of its whole population.

according to all human reckoning, there charged along the trench from one end with a rifle, firing as fast as he could trench immediately before him, pashed in more cartridges, and swung round the angle of the traverse and began again.

THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE, Absolutely incorrect ideas have also taken hold of the Dutch mind in regard o the Russian people. When one gets to know the people intimately with their y ligious tendencies, love of animals, pleas unt manners and kindliness, a tutit change takes place in pre-conceived opu iona. The Russians are, moreover, a very cleanly people. A good many more baths are taken in Russia than in Holland,. and even a labourer indulges in this lux ury at least once a week. They have also. a remarkable love of music and the stage. And as regards the good nature of the Russians, I can give no better illustration than their kind attitude to the prisoners of war. The Times
