On the front of the left column of our left army the enemy made six counter-attacks, but all were repulsed by us and we inflicted great loss on the enemy. Later that evening the

enemy, who were more than five or six bat talions of infantry and three batteries of artil- lery, attacked the same column. We are at present driving the same enemy.

Yesterday (the 15th) the number of dead bodies left by the enemy in the direction of the left army were found to be increased to a total

of about 4,000. Besides these, there are enormpus number of dead bodies of the enemy on the front of the left column, but the number there has not yet been investigated.
