SCORCHING GUNFIRE
AXIS TROOPS REPAID IN THEIR
OWN COIN
LONDON. November 2
The British United Press correspondent, in a dispatch from the battlefield, says: "Our scorching artillery fire pinned down a large body of Germans and also a battalion: of Mussolini's crack troops. In spite of its. terror and grimness and the bloody slaughter, it was an inspiring and heartening picture, because for once we saw the Nazis and Fascists at our mercy with the hammers of hell pounding round their heads. . I have so often seen it the other way. , , "Our offensive has slowed down to some extent, but the enemy is feeling the blow severely, and is unable to mount a thoroughgoing ;. counterattack. Though "the -enemy toas-:hit back again arid again; he has not thrown us off any important objective we have taken. But till we make a break-through the attack will not be a complete success."
