THE GERMANS YIELDED TO COLD STEEL OF SCOTCH AND GUARDS Attempts to Break Allied Line Failed --Position Had Been Serious, But the British Triumphed Over the Enemy. London, Xov. "After a des pernte atlack te the whole week the German attempt to break the allind line at Ypres has failed," says a despatch to the Times from Dun- kick, France, filed: Saturday night. "It may be admitted that the posi tion at Ypres two days ago was se vious. The town itself was bom- barded by the Germans with extraor- dinary violence and under the fierce cannonading the allies had to with draw from the town, which became : 'no _man's land' across which the shells from both sides burst "The (iermans made a superhuman and final effort under cover of a fierce bombardment of the British posi tions. They had prepared a deter- mined onslaught. Masses of men were launched in succession at chosen points at our front. "The assault was met in a preme way. Two regiments, one Scot- tish and one of the guards, went down with bayonets to stem the ad- vance. "It was the most terrible bayonet charge of the whole war It sue ceeded, - the break in the line was re- paired and the German attack was once more 'driven back. "That was their last formation. They _are dropping an occasional de- sultory shell into Ypres, but - their attacks have ceased. They ave now assailing the allied line at Arras, forty miles further to the south, but not with the same fury as they axhibited in the onslaught of the past week. "So fierce has su- heen the fighting around Ypres that the. casualties of the Germans are believed to have reached the enormous figure of 100, 000, though these figures may prove to have basen exaggerated."
