respondedly splendidly to our

IyONDON. May 24. Lmring the
battle of Arras, the British prisoner
ed 21.000 Germans, from forty dif
ferent divisions. The enemy prison
ered only 3000 Britishers in the sama
battle. General Maurice. director of
operations, 'asserted. He declared the
British losses were fifty per cent un
der those suffered by the British in
the Sorame battle.
"In the battle of Arras." Maurice
continued, "we captured two hundre-i
guns, and occupied territory two times
as large as that reclaims! In the
battle of the Homme. -
"We've got the Germans reduce.!
to such a stage of nervousness they
claim big losses at a point we didn't
attack. May 21 the Germans reported
a British attack on the thirty kilo
meter front In the Arras-Cambrai
road was repelled with bear? loas?.
The fact hi no single British soldier
moved in that sector. Whenever w
attack we say so.
"A German order captured on one
prisoner, dated prior to the Arras
battle, says no commander must al
low hut troops to surrender, hut thev
shall contest every inch of ground.
Those surrendering, the order stated,
are guilty 'of the basest treachery to
their fatherland
"Contract thia German statement
with the official explanation they
evacuated Bullecourt voluntarily." ,
