The drive in the sector between Rancourt and Bouchavesnes was no less suc- cessful Gains Are Important The most important success from the British point of view is the cap- ture of Morval. In the concise lan- guage of Con. Haig, this village, “with its subterranean quarters, trenches and wire entanglements, constituted a formidable fortress,” and its occu- ation, together with that of Les cents, “is of considerable military importance and practically severe the enemy’s communications with 00m- bles.” The allied advance, one of the most extensive since the opening of the Somme battle, was made with comparatively small losses, thanks to the effectiveness of the artillery.

They fell victims of the anti- aircraft defences of London and out- lying districts. One came down a flaming torch, as did the Zeppelin Lâ€"21, destroyed three weeks ago, while the second, disabled by gunfire, effected a landing, which saved the lives of the crew, who are 1,risoners in England. The crew of the first raider died in the consuming flames of their own ship, but they were not so terribly charred as their predecessors. This latest raider to light her own funeral‘ way on English soil collapsed and was consumed much more quickly than the L-El. It is possible, though, that some of the men were still living when the great vessel struck the ground. The captain’s body was found some distance from the wreck. Thousands Were Watching The wreck and burning of the first Zeppelin we witnessed 'by tens of thousands (a: London’s residents, but the wounding and descent of the second raid-r was a matter of doubt until the official statements were given out. Many who saw the shrap- nel bursting like skyrockets about the invader which subsequently caught fire think there must have been sev- eral direct hits. Many aeroplanes were aloft and attacked the Zeppelins from all sides. The London Daily Mail correspon- dent at an east coast town, describ- ing the descent of one of the Zeppe- lins and the surrender of the crew, says that as they struck ofi inland they emptied their revolvers into the sky andflung the weapons away. When a patrol of armed soldiers ar- rived to aid the three policemen who had taken charge of the Germans, the Zeppelin commander said: “Please allow me to go to the nearest post- office so I may telephone to someone in London who will let my wife know I am safe.” This preposterous suggestion was quickly countered by a soldier, who said: “Don’t you be so sure you are safe, matey; we don’t know what there may be against you.” Landed in an Orchard The villag constable in telling later of the coming down of the Zep- pclin said he heard the noise of the motors overhead and next saw a Zep- pelin flying seaward 300 feet up. Then, as if the commander of the airship feared trouble on the water, he tum- ed back inland and in a few minutes “the airship floated like a giant feather,” landing in a farmer’s orchard less than thirty feet from the farmer’s cottage. Two loud explosions follow- ed, and then the flare of a fuse lit up the orchard yard.

Already, a series of brilliant attacks, they have forced the Germans back for over a mile beyond their original line. They have captured Mouquet Farm, having finally overcome a des- perate resistance; they have attack- ed and carried the sugar refinery and its lines of connecting trenches, and then following up this success with a boldness of plan and action of execu- tion not excelled in this war they have on the same day organized and de- livered fresh attacks which made them masters of the Whole village of Courcelette. The Canadians have taken over 1,200 prisoners including thirty-two officers. together with two guns, a large number of machine guns and several heavy minen-werfers, or trench mortars. ‘ Canadian Scottish There A Montreal battalion was the first, to enter the. battle, coming up through a heavy hostile barrage to the assist- ance oi‘ hard-pressed troops practically in the middle of an attack. They were closely follow ed by the Canadian Scouish (which includes men from Vancouver, Victoria, Winnipeg and Fwnilton) and by a Toronto battalion. ‘ The first assault was undertaken by ’ 3.11 eastern tlntario battalion against a salient in the German line some? 5C2: yards in icngth. This battalion carried out its task in a manner little short of perreCtion. Sharp at 4.45 one afternoon. in broad daylight, and under an almost cloudless sky, three companies under command of Major V'anderwater sprang from their tren- 1ches and advanced steadily towards1 the German line. In front of them our artillery laid down an intense Ibarrage, and our men followed so [closely that they were almost in the 'midst of their own shells. One Ger- man machine gun was still in opera- tion but it did not succeed in step- ping the advance. Some of the enemy ! continued to shoot until the last mom- ent. Thus several of our men, in- cluding two officers, were killed on the very parapet of the German trenches. But their death was avenged, for with an irresistible onrush our men poured into the tnemy lines.

In this attack men from Toronto, London, Ottawa and Kingston fought side by sidL \ ith men from Winnipeg, Regina and x ancouver and with men of the Mounted Rifles from eastern Canada. So successful was this at- tack that the CordeCommander, Sir Julian Byng. decide?! to strike an- other and immediate blow at the enemy. He ordered that the village at Courcelette, together with a line at German trenches between Mouquet Farm and the northeastern edge of the village, should be attacked. By 6 ov’clock in the evening all pre- “rations were completed and the new attack was launched. French-Canadians’ Gallantry A famous French-Canadian battalion having as its objective the larger part of Courcelette, behaved with the greatest skill and gallantry. They stormed across the tangle of streets and trenches and ruined houses. in- flicting heavy losses upon the enemy, and finally established themselves In advance of the northern and eastern edges of the village.
