THE BRITISH BRONX. LOST POSITIONS RECOVERED. SUCCESSFUL ATTACK ON HINDENBURG LINE. LONDON, May 13. Sir Douglas Haig reports: The enemy early this morning launched a third attack, using flammenwerfors, southward of the Souchez river. After three hours’ severe fighting the weight of repeated assaults compelled our posts to withdraw from a portion of the front. Our counter-attack this afternoon recaptured the whole of the lost trenches. The enemy’s losses in the three attacks were heavy. Our positions are unchanged. Wc very successfully attacked the Hindenburg line in the neighbourhood of Bullecourt, and also astride the Ar-ras-Cambrai road and northward of the Scarpe, gaining all the objectives. We took some hundred prisoners. Local fighting is resulting in our favour eastward of Lempire. The Allies made successful raids eastward of Ypres. FURTHER BRITISH SUCCESSES. BULLECOURT VILLAGE OCCUPIED LONDON, May li. Sir Douglas Haig says further details of last night’s attacks confirm the success of the operations. Considerable enemy forces were observed last night massing for a coun-ter-attack in the neighbourhood of Bullecourt. They were effectively dealt with by our artillery, and their attack did not develop. We attacked later, and after allnight fighting established ourselves in Bullecourt village. The fighting continues. The enemy’s attack upon our new positions was scattered by the artillery. We captured astride the Arras-Cam-brai road 1200 yards of trench, including a strong cavalry position. We stormed last night the 'Rouex cemetery and chemical works. Further northward we continued our advance to-day, carrying positions itt this neighbourhood on a front of half a mile, and taking many prisoners. There are homes in every suburb Where the children, when at play, Sing the old familiar jingles In the old familiar way. And amid their chants and chatter. If you listen, you are sure To hear them say they love to take Their Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
