BRITISH HOLDING THE CAPTURED GROUND.
TROOPS FIGHT WITH GREAT GALLANTRY AND DASH. SIR JOHN FRENCH'S RETORT ON THE OPERATIONS. \ (Received 12.10 p.nu)' ~T r v LONDON, March .19. Sir John French, in his bi-weekly report, says that the general situation is unchanged. An isolated attack on Saint Eloi by 200 Germans was easily repulsed, and, two-thirds of the assailants were killed or wounded. The gallantry and dash of the troops during the last week's operations in the vicinity ci Neuve Chapelle under General Sir Douglas Haig's able and determined leadership proved conclusively that four months of sedentary work in the trencLes had in no* mse impaired their original fighting qualities.
