FALL OF ANGRES CERTAIN.
RETREATING ENEMY DAMAGE LENS PITS. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) Received April 16, 9.T5 a.m. LONDON, April 15. The fall of Angres is implied in the outflanking of Lievin, which has now been captured. The Daily Chronicle’s correspondent at headquarters, telegraphing at 4 o’clock on Sunday morning, stated that British patrols had entered Lens. The enemy left rearguards in the redoubts, and made frantic efforts to remove their guns, numbering 150. The mines and pitheads at Lens and Lievin were blown up, also roads. Orders were given for the Germans to destroy the mines by firing charges into the pits and by flooding.
