THE NEUVE-CHAPELLE ATTACK.

BRITISH DASH UNIMPAIRED

HIGHEST HOPES EXCEEDED

THE GERMAN LOSSES

(Received March 16 3 11.15 p.m.)

London, March 16

The "Daily Mail's" correspondent says the British attack at Neuve Chapelle proved that the troops have not lost their dash during the winter. The results exceeded the Commander-in- . Chief's highest hopes. The district is dotted with miners' little houses and occasional slag heaps. The Germans had converted the houses into strongholds bristling with machine guns.

The Germans left 2000 dead, and it is estimated that altogether their dead totalled 5000, and at least 13,000 wounded.
