THE FLANDERS FIGHTING.
THE ST. JULIEN .BATTLE
LONDON, August 29. •British correspondents give vivid descripions of the attack on the St Julien- - oeicappelle Road. In r. driving rainstorm, tanks .wallowed, in the bog land, and the heavily-laden infantry went ploughing through the mud. The attackers' ta&k was the capture of a series of concrete strongholds, each of which held a .score of German machinegunners. The.tanks in some cases got within 30 yards and fired point blank until the strongholds; surrendered. The night was wild and savage, making a continuance of the fighting a practical impossibility.
