(By the Associated Press.) BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN" FRANCE, Friday. March 8. Great gallantry and Individual heroism were displayed by the Belgian soldiers in the face .of great odds in the flooded xone northwest of Dixmude Wednesday. The German attack was futile. This operation has been characterized as a raid, but In the case of the recent at tack on the Portuguese, there Is little doubt that the Germans mean to oc cupy certain posts permanently. They succeeded temporarily In one place, but were driven out with heavy losses after spectacular fighting. King Albert personally congratulated his troops yesterday on their remark able work. The Germans began their operations at daybreak against the Belgian positions at Beverdyk and Relgernvllet by put ting down a tremendous artillery bombardment. For an hour the German artillery continued to pour an avalanche of ex plosives, among; which were many gas shells, against the defenses and then followed with an infantry attack in force. Advaace Promptly fheekew. The Belgian artillery replied with heavy barrage and this, coupled with the fine work of the riflemen and ma chine gunners, promptly checked the German advance at Beverdyk and even tuaily completely repulsed the enemy. At Reigersvliet. however, the Ger mans secured a footing at various points, which was due to the fact that he floods had largely subsided and the enemy was able to cross with com paratively little difficulty. A Belgian post with only one man and one machine gun stood out against hundreds for hours, until relief arrived n the shape of a patrol headed, by a Lieutenant. . With this small reinforce ment, the Belgian commander took the offensive, rushing and recapturing the position taken by the Germans In front of a small bridgehead. Several German prisoners and machine guns were taken in this daring assault. Coawter Attack IV ins. In the meantime the chasseurs had been organized for a counter attack and the troops advanced under excel lent support by the Belgian batteries. Sanguinary fighting followed and at 1 o'clock in the afternoon the Belgians succeeded In retaking the first of seven posts lying In a semi-circle In front of the brldgehend. The savage battle- continued until 6:30 o clock In the aft ernoon, when the last of the posts was regained. The German losses were heavy. Forty bqdles were found lying on the barbed wire alone, while many perished under the gruelling fire of the Belgians. One German officer was decapitated by -a shHI as he was running away. Five officers and 111 men were cap tured, together with 12 machine guns. Although It la Impossible to give the exact total of the Belgian losses, they were light.

WARRANT IviADE VOID Search of Office of Henry Veeder Is Estopped. TECHNICAL ERRORS FOUND Court Rules That Specific Papers Wanted Must Be Asked For and 7 Concrete Facts, Xot Suspicions, .Mast Be . Furnished, CHICAGO. March 9. Th. United States Circuit Court of Appeals today quashed the search warrant issued' by Judge Landls to permit examination of the letter filed in the office of Henry Veeder, counsel for Swift & Co. by the Government. . The decision was "with out bar to further proceedings." The search warrant was sworn out by Francis J.. Heaey. attorney for the Federal Trade Commission, which is conducting a sweeping investigation of the packing Industry. It was said that the reversal was based on technical errors in certain of the Heney affi davits. The decision intimated that Mr. Heney was on. a "fishing expedition." in the Veeder vaults, whereas the court found that under the constitution and the statute the specific papers wanted must be asked for and the petitioner under oath must furnish concrete facts not "suspicions, beliefs or surmises' which tend to establish the necessary legal conclusion in the mind of the ssulng Judge. United States District Attorney Clyne declined to comment on the opinion. At Mr. Heney's hotel It was said that he left yesterday for Washington. Government agents are working on the files of other packers without re striction. .A leputy United States Mar shal will remain In rtiarre of the Veeder files until the mandate Is filed in the United States District Court. Otto Christiansen and George Van derveer, attorneys for the Industrial Workers of the World defendants, who have protested against the seizure of L W.
