MAGNIFICENT DEFENCE OF BRITISH.
(United Service.) (Received Saturday, 9.20 a.m.)LONDON, Wednesday.
The "Daily Mail's" correspondent in France writes:—The German attacks on Longueval were shrewdly conceived. If they had been successful they would have endangered the front where the Franco-British meet. The enemy pretends that only a brigade was engaged, but French experts estimate that there were six divisions on a2l mile front. Despite the tremendous odds and the exceptional fury of the German assaults, the British magnificently withstood the attack.
