TROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
London. Oof. 27—The Lon
don Mail's correspondent wire
over thi> morning that the;
are 8,500 bodies of dent Ger
man soldier? n the Yser Cane
:i rth and south of Dixmude a?
the result of the fighting la
night. the fiercest, closest and
Moodiest since the beginninc
of the war. Many of the dea i
i> d met their death from
drowning, others had gapin;
wounds from shot, shell and
bullet, s me had met the col
steel of he bayonet, while
others still clasped the throat
of a foe who in turn had Choak
ed him to death and both had
then been trampled underfoot
by the onrushing legions of tin
Kaiser in their attempt to "bey
hi- imperial mandate to reach
the coast last night or die in
the attempt, and die they did.
bat their living comrades this
morning in- -- at the
coast are forth r back from it
than they we e l3-t night be
fore ‘heir charge. The water
of the different canals at Dix
mude are hi >o iy, and the
streets of the little town were
thickly strewn with the dead
from both armies. The ghoul
i-h facts alone can give an ad
equate idea of the desperation
of the German advance and the
stubborness, of the Allies’ re
- stance. The night was pitch
dark, with a gale blowing up
m the English Channel, and
ra.n falling in torrents. The
?:rs| intimation of the German
•advance was the shots of the
A ed i(posts as U ev were
pressed back. Then the figh:
-farted, at first each side shot
indiscriminately in the dark
ne-- at each other, then as the
Germans r.i-hed forward in
solid columns tl ivonet was
brought into play, nj then
man grappled man. each dying
where he stood. The German":,
had orders tc get hrough to the
■mast. and they gave their all,;
life, in the attempt. Theyi
massed the Grand Cabal as th w'
were bid. but there they were!
unable to -‘ay when the B?l-;
gian and British made a counter
bayonet charge driving them ;
down the -iippery banks of the!
canal to drown in the water- {
below. They did ‘all that hu
man might could Jo. but they
were outnumbered and out
fought. It i- estimated that
last a quarter of a million
German- participated in the at
tack.
