"GLORIOUS ONRUSH" OF BRITISH AND FRENCH. HEAVY GERMAN LOSSES. (Received April 26th. 11.53 p.m.)' • DUNKIRK, April 26. j After the Germans poured over the | Canal, they attacked the Canadians in the? rear. The Canadians, facing both •ways, fought tor their lives with the bayonet. Uritish supports. with Zouaves, fell upon the Germans and cut a way to the Canadians, and the whole mass charged the enemy in * glorious on-rush. Whole coin panics of Germans wore wiped out. Tho Canadians lost men, hut drove the Germans from Pilkern in disorder by means of two bayonet charges, delivered with magnificent dash and .spirit, regardless of tho rules of German text-books. The Germans' excessive confidence helped the Canadians to establish the whole Allied line. " The Ihike of Wurtemburg's army, with a nuniber of Hungarian real;

merits, carried out the attack. There are many rumours that Marshal yon Hindenburg is chiof in command. The Germans are now burying their dead near the battlefields, owinor to the railways being congested with troop trains, preventing the conveyance of tho bodies to the cremating furnaces. Great piles of corpses, mostly mangied and unrecognisable, have been collected west of Uoulers. where waggons bring them from the banks ot the Yser to burial pits fifteen feet deep, dug by German civilians assisted by Belgians, who are compul6orily drafted from tho villages.
