With the British .\rmies in France, Jan. 28. â€" In spite of the hard weather conditions, a gallant attack was made Saturday by British troops against a strong German poinc on the Somme, resulting in its capture with three officers and more than 300 men. The Germans apparently did not anticipate an attack and v.-ere somewhat off guard, owing perhaps to the heavy frost and strong blizzard 9^veeping over the Ao'w-covered field. The Ger- mans remained snugly in their dug- outs, probably believing that the Bri- tish would do the same. Outwardly there was no movement within the Bi'itish lines, but in the trenches the troops were waiting for a sudden attack, which had been well prepared for and organi;'.ed before- hand. Suddenly, the ordinary desul- tory lire of the British batteries was concentrated in a terrific drumfire, flinging shells of enormous destructive force upon the German trenches and defensive works. The barbed wire before the German positions was cut as though by sharp 3hear.s. Following the curtain of fire, the English troops went briskly out into "No Man's Land." The breath oi' the men looked like a smokecloud as they went across the lield of hum- mockv snow and shell crater-; til'"il with solid ice. The British troops had been cold but fresh with the heat of battle they moved forward like a machine and carried out the operations with preci- sion and self-control. Trapped in Dugouts. The 6}t?rmans were trapped in their dugouts. The English boys were over and around the position before the Germans could get up to bomb them or fire upon them v.-ith machine guns. The whole garrison of the strong point surrcmiered almost without a fight, seemingly thinking that resist- ance wa.s useless. The British troops suffered fevv casualties and sent back the prisoners in triumph. Meanwhile, the German gunners had seen signals of distress and pre- .â- iently they became aware of the fact that the strong point had been cap- tured. They came out of their dug- outs and !)egan firing at the captured position, but the visibility was bad, owing to the whitish fog and the Ger- man drumfire was not so intense as in former days on the Somme front. The British troops had taken pos- session of the deep underground room.s within the (jerman position. In this way. the officers laughingly said, they ccicbratel the German Emperor's hir'h.iav. were recruited. .\s fast as recruits are gathered they will be drafted into battalions according to their fitness for various kinds of work, the strong-' Pro»tslon«â€" â- WTiola»al«. est women becoming member; of the! ^,.;':"'"^;;'' ^^; zl'ITii""'^^""'' Land Service Corps and the weaker to 37c .
