ANOTHER CANADIAN SUCCESS
A CLOSE GRIP ON THE TOWN
(beutek's telegbam.)
LONDON, 24th August.
Reuters Headquarter? correspondent records another Canadian success. Early this morning they crossed the Souchez, deploying and pushing on along ■sevyii hundred yards of front. The result of this brilliant operation is that General Cqrrie's left flank is secured from the south.
Lens now lies deep in a close-gripping enclave. Prisoner admit that life in Lens is unendurable. Two special counter-attacks by divisions of Prussian Guards recently brought up suffered so severely that they were apparently incapable of further formidable effort. The enemy is unable to employ his artillery to the fullest advantage owing to the closeness of the salient and our command of the ground. Lens has become nothing less than a death-trap for the enemy.
