With tb British Armiea In th. FUld. D.c. 18. -(Delayed) (U. P.) One again the notorious Tpra salient haa earned a place on the war's scoreboard. The German official wireless on December 14 jrave the impression of an Important victory scored there by German troops and said they stormed and occupied "British second line trenches southesst of Zlllebeke, the garrison of which fled." Here's exactly What happened at 9:06 at night on December 14. A strong- German attack was launched against the British southern paunch of the salient. Expecting the Mark, the British got the stormers under a deadly fire, so that when the Germans reached the British, there were only 10 of the attacking party left. These immediately scurried back. The whole action lasted just 10 min utes. The enemy losses were believed to be severe; the British casualties were very slight. All advantage re mained on the English side and val uable Information was obtained from the bodies of the dead Germans. On the following day the Germans again attacked, this time at Hill 60. nearby. A heavy barrage fire com pletely wiped out this attack, not one man reaching the British lines. Again the German loases were regarded as severe, for despite the bad weather it waa perfectly plain that the British lire was effective. Montha ago the Yprea salient was the scene of some of the hotteet fight ing of the war the Germans hurling attack after attack against the Brit ish in an attempt to crumple their line. Of late "Deadman's Corner" has almost been forgotten. "Peace Val ley" would be mora appropriate, con sidering the fierceness of fighting at other parts of the line.
