LONDON, April 26 General Haig
officially a . louiiccd today the com
plete repulse oi violet German coun
ter attacks against the new British
position around Gavrelle.
Germany is suffering the most ap
palling losses of the war in her des
perate endeavor to stop the British
drive by sheer weight of human
masses. North ol the Scarpe river,
where the British fotight ahead inch
by inch, the German carnage was the
greatest since the start of the war.
Front dispatches showed that the
Germans realize that no trench could
stand against the terrific (ire ol the
Britiah artillery. The (oe is seeking
to make a living wall of humans
against the advance.
Into the closely packed troops the
artillery did terrific work. Thousands
of mangled bodies, mostly of Ger
mans, were (lung over the battlefield
along the Scarpe.
British losses were exceedingly
low considering the ferocity of the
(ighting. Prisoners' statements show
that the morale of the Germans is
undermined.
