IN THE VALLEY OF DEATH.
PLIGHT. OF THE GERMANS, ) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, April 8. ; Mr. Philip Gibbs writes: — The Germans are struggling Ward tobring up their heavy guns and complete-, the organisation of their divisions before attempting another drive on a big scale. , This may come soon, as the Germans, have still large, concentrations of troops north of the Somme; They must bevery wretched, always under our harass-t' ing fire. They occupy a stinking ditch about Aveluy, Mesnil, and Thiepval, ; where foul water lies stagnant below, iws of dead-lopped trees, and frightful.! smells are arising from the battle of twoweeks ago. The Germans have no cover;' m this valley of death and we see everjr^ movement.
