ENEMY ATTEMPT TO SAVE GUNS,
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received April 16, 8.55 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 four a.m. on Sunday, stated that the Brtish patrols had entered Lens. The enemy left rearguards in the redoubts, and frantic efforts were made to remove the guns, numbering 150. A network of mines and pitheads at Lens and Lievin were blown up. Orders were given to destroy the mines by firing charges into the pits and flooding them.
