Capture of Messlnes Ridges Peculiarly

of Former British Defeat
Defenses Shattered.
With tho British Armies in Frnnce,
June 7. In ono of the most elaborately
planned nnd dnrlngly executed ma
neuvers of tho wnr Sir Douglas Hnlg's
forces have dealt n mighty blow
ugalnst tho German line In Bolglum,
nnd been rewarded with notnblo gains
in terrain nnd the capture of more
thnn 5,000 prisoners nnd numerous
guiiH of various caliber. In nddltion
they inflicted heavy casualties on the
Germans.
Tho Germans, though nppnrently
aware that the blow wns coining nnd
seemingly prepared to meet It, wero
driven from their nearly three yenrs'
hold on Messlnes rldgp, opposite "poor
old" Ypres. Ypres In a sense was
avenged today, for Messlnes ridge hns
been the vnntngc point from which the
Hermans have poured torrents of shells
Into tho stricken city. The British nlso
wiped off nn old score ngalnst tho Ger

which extended well Into tho night, tho

In tho shndow of nn old windmill
which has withstood tho storms of n
century and been undaunted by nearly
three years of war, tho correspondent
witnessed the last phases of tho soven

tho British infantry confidently on
their wny to new successes In lighting

has ever known.

Like Volcanoes In Eruption.
Day was scarcely breaking when
from the dimly visible rldgo n score
of fiery volcanoes seemed suddenly to
spring from the earth. Tho night "had
been filled with nt range noises nnd still
stranger sights, but these masses of
flame, leaping from the ground, had u
meaning all their own. They were the
spectncular outward and visible evi
dences of more than a million pounds
of high explosives which had been
buried deep In mines below tho ene
my's positions for months.
All the world appeare'1 lurid and
horrible under the sinister glow. The
enrth shook as if torn by n great seis
mic disturbance. It wns not a stngU
shock. Tho force of tho explosion
actually set tho earth rocking to und

It has seemed that tho battle of tho

this sudden outpouring on Messlnes
ridge wns beyond nil calculation. The

The effect of this counter bnttery
work was not appreciated until Inter
In the dny, when the lnfuntry sent
back word Unit their progress hnd
not been hampered by the enemy nr
tlllery nnd that their casualties
amounted to virtually nothing.
Enemy Signals for Help.
Great black observation balloons
hnd stolen skywnrd during tho din of
the newly begun battle. In the wood
bacjs of the windmill spring birds,
nwakened by tho deafening clamor,
had begun to sing Joyously. Like so
many children who have come Into the
consciousness of being in the midst of
the wnr, these birds regarded tho np
palllng noise of the buttle as a normal
condition of life.
The smoko of tho giant mines ex
ploded nlong the battle front mean
time rose In great, curling plumes to
ward tho sky and was punctunted by
red signnls for help from the stricken
Germans in tho front and support
lines. Never wns the air filled with
moro frantic notices of dnngcr. The
cntlro horizon glowed with red balls
of fire sent up by tho nervous Ger
mans. Afore nnd more British airplanes be
gan to make their appearance. One
flow over the lines, the flashes of the
guns being reflected brilliantly on Its
highly glnzcd wings.
Under this nppalllng fire trudged for,
ward on tho ten-mile front General
Plumer's nrmy. At ninny places the
men found Germnn troops utterly
dazed by tho mine explosion nnd tho
ordenl of the nrtlllery fire.
First Taste of New Warfare.
Many of these troops had but recent
ly como from Russia, whero they had
spent 18 months and knew nothing of
what nctunl warfare was like on tho
western front. They had bolted nt the
first mine explosion nnd had only been
gathered together in groups by their
noncommissioned officers when tho
British nppeared out of the smoke nnd
shells nnd mado them prisoner.
They said they had been given to
understand by their officers that the
British always killed their prisoners.
It wns really pitiful in somo instnnces
to sco tho manner In which these pris
oners cringed to their captors.
As a matter of fact, tho British sol
dier, when the fighting Is done, Is In
clined almost too strongly to treat tho
German prisoners as pals. Somo of
tho prisoners taken today had only
gono into tho German lines last night
and hud mado their way forward un
der u galling flro nnd had lost henvlly.
But tho troops already In tho lino were
calling for relief In such a manner that
their appeals could not bo denied.
Failed to Time Attack.
In view of tho fuel Unit tho nttack
had beep expected the German com
mnndors were endeavoring to got tholr
best units actually Into the lighting
front, but had underestimated when
tho British would strike. Tho troops
in u strange line wero utterly bewil
dered when tho nttack began and fell
cosy prey to tho advancing British.
The Irish. New Zealanders and Aus
tralians, who had been rehearsed in
every -detail of "tho show," know Just
what to do from Uio moment the word
to advance was given.
Tho battlo was far more vlslblo dur
ing the first uncertain moments thnn
later when tho sun gradually burned
its way through tho eustern bnnks of
clouds. By that Ume tho smoko of ex
ploding shells nnd tho vapors from the
blinding barrage, whtch hnd been part
of the urtlllery duty, obscured tho moro
dlstnnt landscape to such an extent
thnt the roaring guns could not be seen
at all, although the firing wns almost
at one's feet. Tho brilliantly leaping
shrapnel shells, breaking far above
ground, appeared through a thick mist
only as brief nnd brlUlnnt electric
sparks.
British Planes Rule Air.
For n month post, but especially
since June 1. tho airplanes on this
front hnvo boon indefntlgnbly nt work
during every possible flying hour.
They had brought down nenrly 50 ma
chines In six days as n means of blind
ing the enemy. Lntely the Germans
have endeavored vnllnntly to obtain
airplane observations for their nrtll
lery, but their observing machines
have soldom been nblo to direct moro
than one or two shots before tho Brit
ish lighting scouts had pounced upon
them nnd either sent them crashing to
the earth or had driven them to cover
at breakneck speed.
Today the British planes flew far

Naturally all plans for sending the

Newton D. Bnker has pointed out the
danger of speculation ns to who is to

thnt the war department will from

of their safe arrival.
Tho only reports of tho passage of
General Pershing nnd Ills staff came to
the press associations by cnblc, these
