OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF FIERCE
ATTACKS OF PRUSSIANS GUARDS
OA BRITISH LINE AT YPRES
Detailed Story of Assaults and Counter Assaults, Brought Up
to Nov. 13th, in Fiercest of Actions—Desperate Fighting,
Dogged Determination and Bayonet Charges—lmmensely
Greater Losses to Invaders Than to Allies
London.—Col. E. D. Swfnton, the of
ficial observer at the British head
quarters, gives a further chapter in
his narrative of operations at the
front, bringing up his account to Nov.
13. His latest report describes the
fierce attack of the Prussian guards
4B the British lines in the neighbor
hood of Ypres.
Colonel Swinton's report, issued
througH the official press bureau, fol
lows in part:
Recommenced.
“The diminution in the force of the
German rush to the west has not lasted
long. On Nov. 11th they recommenced
the desperate battle for the possession
of Ypres and its neighborhood.
"Though the struggle has not yet
come to an end, this much can be said:
the Germans have gained some ground,
but they have not captured Ypres.
"In repulsing the enemy so far, we
have suffered heavy casualties, but
battles of this fierce and prolonged
nature cannot be but costly to both
sides. We have the satisfaction of
knowing that we have foiled the en
emy in what appears to be at present
his main object in the western theatre
of operations and have inflicted im
mensely greater losses on him than
those we have suffered ourselves.
“To carry on the narrative for the
Bring Back
Your Appetite
With a Little Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablet, the Secret of Perfect
Digestion.
You should see our farmers and
their boys eating in the fields. On the
farm five meals a day is the rule. No
one ever has stomach trouble because
meals are digested and people live
normally.
In the city we lose our “pep” and
indigestion, dyspepsia, stomach trou
ble, etc., make us look on five meals
as an impossibility.
Farmer’s Boy—“ Just think of broth
er Joe in the city. He can't eat. Why a
sandwich like this would kill him.”
A majority of people have come to
know the blessings which an occa
sional use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets confer upon the stomach. They
are unquestionably the most popular
remedy known, for the reason that dys
pepsia is the national disease, and
these wonderful little tablets have long
since acquired a national reputation
as a thoroughly reliable and efficient
cure for all forms of dyspepsia and
Indigestion.
No matter how great the excess of
food taken into the stomach, one or
two of these tablets will digest every
particle of it. A package of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets should always be
in the house. Many a person has
saved himself from a serious attack
of acute indigestion by using them af
ter heavy meals, such as are eaten
Christmas, New Year’s, Thanksgiving
and other holidays and festal seasons.
After attending banquets, late sup
pers, heavy fancy dinners, after
theatre parties, etc., where one has
dined sumptuously and luxuriantly.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets should in
variably be used, as they digest the
food perfectly and completely, and
prevent all possibility of dyspepsia,
which, without their use, is more than
likely to ensue.
Go to your today and buy
a box. A small sam'ple package of
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will be
mailed free to any one who will ad
dress F. A. Stuart Co., 150 Stuart

three days of 10th, 11th, and 12th of
November:
Shelling Less Severe.
“Tuesday, the 10th, was uneventful
for us. At some distance beyond our
left flank the enemy advanced in force
against the French and were repulsed.
Directly on our left, however, along the
greater part of the front, shelling was
less severe and no infantry attacks
took place.
“To the southeast of Ypres the en
emy kept up a very heavy bombard
ment. On our left center the situa
tion remained unchanged, both sides
contenting themselves with furious
cannonading. In our center the Ger
mans retained their hold on a small
amount of ground which they had
gained from us, but in doing so incur
red a heavy loss from our artillery and
machine gun fire.
“Wednesday, the 11th, was a day of
desperate fighting. As day broke the
Germans opened fire on our trenches
to the north and south of the road
from Menin to Ypres. This was prob
ably the most furious artillery fire
which they have yet employed against
Us. A few hours later they followed
this by an infantry assault in force.
This attack was carried out by the
First and Fourth brigades of the guard
corps, w'hich, as we now know from
prisoners, had been sent for to make
a supreme effort to capture Ypres.
Casualties Enormous.
As the attackers surged forward
they were met by our frontal fire and
since they were moving diagonally
across part of our front they were also
attacked on the flank by artillery,
rifles and machine guns. Though their
casualties before they reached our line
must have been enormous, such was
their resolution and the momentum of
the mass that in spite of the splendid
resistance of our troops they succeeded
in breaking through our line in three
places near the road. They penetrated
some distance into the woods behind
our trenches but by another counter
attack again, enfiled by machine guns,
they were driven back to their line of
trenches, a certain portion of which
they succeeded in holding in spite of
our efforts to expel them. What their
total losses must have been during
this advance may be gauged to some
extent from the fact that the number
of dead left in the wjjoda behind our
line amounted to seven hundred.
Simultaneous Effort.
"A simultaneous effort made to the
south, a part of the same operation,
although not carried it by the guard
corps, failed entirely. The fighting to
a great extent was carried on at close
quarters. Scattered bodies of the en
emy who had penetrated into the
woods in the rear of our position could
neither go backward nor forward and
were nearly all killed or captured.
"The portion of the line to the south
east of Ypres held by us was heavily
shelled but did not undergo any very
serious infantry attack. That occu
pied by the French, however, was both
bombarded and fiercely assaulted. On
the rest of our front, save for the
usual bombardment, all was compara
tively quiet. On the right one of our
trenches was mined and then aban
doned. As soon as it was occupied
by the enemy the charges were fired
and several Germans were blown to
pieces.
Partial Lull.
“Thursday, Nov. 12, was marked by
a partial lull in the fighting all along
our line. To the north a German force
which had crossed the Yser and re
trenches on the left bank was annihi
lated by a night attack with the bayo
net executed by the French. Slightly
to the south the enemy was forced
hack for three quarters of a mile. Im
mediately on our left the French were
strongly attacked and driven back a
short distance, our extreme left hav
ing to conform to this movement. Our
allies soon recovered the ground they
had lost, however, and this enabled us
to advance also.
"To the southeast of Ypres the en
emy’s snipers were very active. On
our center and right the enemy's bom
bardment was maintained but nothing
worthy of special note occurred.
"Although the failure of his great
attack by the guard corps to accom
plish their object cannot be described
as a decisive event, it possibly marks
the culmination If not the close of the
second stage in the attempt to cap
ture Ypres and it is not without sig
nificance. That the guard corps should
have been selected to act against the
eastern edge of the Ypres salient may
be taken as proof of the necessity felt
by the Germans to gain this point in
the line.
Dogged Perseverance.
“Their dogged perseverance in pur
suance of their objective claims whole
hearted admiration. The failure of one
great attack, heralded as it was by an
impassioned appeal to the troops made
in the presence of the emperor him
self, but carried out by partially train
ed men, has been only the signal for
another desperate effort In which the
place of honor was assigned to the
corps d’clite of the German army.
“It must be added that the guard
corps has retained that reputation for
courage and contempt of death which
it earned in 1870, when Emperor Wil
liam I, after the battle of Gravelot,
wrote: ’My guard hag found its grave
in front of St. Privat,' and the swarms
of men who came up bravely to the
British rifles in the woods around
Ypres, repeated the tactics of forty
four years ago, when their dense col
umns, tolling up the slopes of St. Pri
vat, melted away under the Mrs of the
French.
Wear Allies’ Uniforms.
“There have been reports from so
many different quarters of the enemy
having been seen wearing British and
French uniforms that It Is impossible
to doubt their truth. One absolutely
authentic case occurred during the
fighting near Ypres. A man dressed
in the uniform closely resembling that
of a British staff officer suddenly ap
peared near our trenches and walked
along the line. A similar visit having
been reported by several men In dif
ferent trenches orders were Issued
that this strange officer was to be de
tained if seen again. Unluckily he did
nut make another appearance.”
