GERMANS’ DANCE OF DEATH.
PARIS, October 2. The Petit Parisien, describing the British advance, says that the sight of the human wave rolling up to the summit of the little hills like a windswept sea was a marvellous spectacle. The British, from behind a hillock, debouched on Loos, which was defended by a formidable line of trenches. They were exposed to a terrific fire, and seemed to hesitate for a moment. The position became difficult to hold, when the Scottish regiments executed a rapid turning movement, reached the German trench, occupied it, and opened an enfilading fire. Then a dance of death began for the Germans, who fell like flies, abandoned the trenches, and ran towards Loos like hares.
