~ SAVED THE DAY BUT LOST SEVERELY

After Being Completely Surrounded They Fought. Their Way Out, Inflicting Very
Heavy Losses on the Germans---Between One.and Two Thousand
oe Killed or Wounded, Including Officers |

Canadians

London, April 27—The corres-
pondent of the Daily News writ-
ing from Northern France says:
-Every where in the department of
Pals De Calais the praises of the
gallant Canadians are being sung
They were put to the most severe
test and they delivered the goods
in,real Canadian style, They had
been forced to retire owing to the
weakness of their support, but it
was only for a few hours, and
then they charged sweeping all
before them and reeking terrible
revenge upon the foe,

Wounded Canadians who came
down to the base today, and there
are many hundreds of them, were
in high spirits, though many. of
them assuredly will neyer fight!’
again. These men respect the
Germans as a fighting machine,
pure and simple. When asked of
the German's humanity they just
shrug their shoulders expressive-
ly.

* “They tell how, in the great
Steenstrrate fight, they had to
. Yetire for a spell during the thick
of the tumult, leaving-the wound-
ed: troops behind. -.Later. they
. found all their wounded comrades
‘bayoneted to death. Their™ re-
venge for this was swift and ter-
rible. At the point of their own
‘bayonets they made. a horrible
‘rush and there was no stop until
only two Germans were left and
these were made prisoners. © All

They had been surrounded, enfil-| ee

“London, April 27—Official—1st
Severe fighting to the north east
of Ypres still continues, the gen-
eral situation remains unchanged

its line to meet the conditions due
to the original ‘forced retirement
of the French who had to face
north and to extend west beyond
St Julian. This extensiun weak-
ened our line for a time, and af-
ter a gallant resistance by the
Canadians against superior num-

the enemy. Our lines now ran
south of this place.

2nd--Our troops to the east of
Ypres have born the brunt of re-
peated heavy attacks which they
have stubbornly opposed through
out the battle in an entirely un-
expected situation which has de-
manded both gallantry and forti-
tude by the men and quick re-
sources and other military .quali-
ties by their commanders. -

ered by the Germans yesterday
