Official fig ures are not available, but the cor respondent is confident In stating that not less than 49 German plan-s were shot out of the air and crashed to the ground yesterday along these roads lying between Wyetscaete and a little south of Armentieres. The German casualties yesterday and last night were very heavy. They can hardly be avoided in following out the method of massed attack being employed by the enemy, who must be given credit for showing great discipline and sticking powers In the face of terrific punishment from the machine guns and artillery. Yesterday afternoon a heavy at tack north of Locon forced the Brit ish to give some ground Again last night at 8 . o'clock the Germans augred forward east of Locon and bh creed ed in penetrating the Tlrltlsh lines. Hard fighting followed and the enemy was finally driven back Not satisfied with this, the Ger mans attacked again In the same place and once more the assault was smashed. Another attack southwest of Le Rart also was repulsed. Ro becq. southwest of Merville, was the seen of heavy fighting last night and this morning the place appeared to be still a battle, ground which neither side could claim. North of iere the Urltlsh had clung to St. l-lorls. to which the Germans were trying to drive in order to reach Aire. Merville was strongly held by the enemy this morning. In the righting about Dallleul last night the Germans . succeeded In penetrating Merrls and here a hot fight was ex changed at close quarters with the result that the enemy was pushed out and held off In the outskirts of the place. The whole southern part of the liailleul broke into flames last night an burned fiercely, the glow of the fire being visible against the clouds for miles across the low-lying coun try La Crccho was araln In Hrltlsh hands this morning, this place rep resenting a part of the result of last night's counter-attacks between Hallleul and Neuve Krllse.
