WEDNESDAY, NOV. 18. 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.

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.” WRENS, GA, NEWS Wrens, Ga.—Miss Maud Samples is spending some timo in Wrens. Miss Eunice Roberson of Tennille, is the charming guest of Mrs. B. P.
