The operation was an un iualilied success from its inception, mnd the attacking infantry reached ill their objectives. By this thrust the Blritish not only iave greatly improved their position n this important and much contested lector, which lies just north of Mer rille, but they inflicted heavy punish nent on two hostile divisions that vere holding the line here--the Thir .y-second division of Saxons and the Forty-fourth reserve division of Prus ;ians. Large numbers of the enemy were tilled in the hurricane onsinught and wine 2;>0 had been collectedi in the rison cages before noon. Tlie front of the attack was 6,000 yards in length and lay approximately )etween Vieux Berquin on the north md Pont Tournai, which is 2,1 ,0 yards northwest of Merville, on the South. West of Merville the British and German lines here had been jammed up almost against the edge of the Nieuppe forest with the resuit that the British felt a lack of elbow room. It was in order to acquire more lee way that today's assault was pro jected. The objectives settled upon lay along the winding little stream known is Plate Becque. Piussians and Saxons were holding ;his zone. The first stages of the drive were omparatively easy. In fact, all the inai objectives were reached with )ut much <lificulty. The losses among the storming in !antry for the entire engagements 'ere extremely light. Australian roops on the left of the columns car .1 out a stimulated attack of their >wn which had an amazing result, dding nearly half a hundred prison ~rs. ihe morale of the prisoners taken oday was not high. These men and >thers captured recently have appear !d to be much disheartened by their ailure to get Digger result sin their >ffensive. These men have professed to have elieved that the United States was iot going to be able to render much Issistance to the Allies. The helpless iess of the United States is being )reached assiduously to the troops by he German high command. With the German officers, naturally t is different, for they have no. de usions on the subject. The British pushed off at 6 o'clock his morning after a sharp bombard nent, just as the white mists were )eginning to arise along the numerous treams which thread their tortured way through the regions. Statements y prisoners show that the enemy gad not the slightest expectation of he British taking the initiative. The .,ermans Celt so secure that they were levoting most of their time to a cam >aign against the epidemic known lo ally as the Flanders grippe. i ne British were over the top at he enemy before the latter realized heir danger. Machine gun posts were stormed and cleaned out with hand renades and bayonets. Where the .ermans were holding a stretch of rench the attacking troops rushed up with rapid firers and swept the ditch as with an intense fire that annihilat d the defenders. LEND--NOT GIVF Ini asking people to invest in war avings and war thrift stamps, the government is not asking them to :ontribute money.
