GERMAN TRICKERY

SOUND BRITISH BUGLE CALLS LINE PUT INTO CONFUSION (Rec. September 9, 5.35 p.m.) London, September 8. A wounded private of the Royal Irish Fusiliers says: "A fair number of our men were captured owing to the trick of the Germans in. continually sounding our bugle calls. In one of the worst fights the Germans sounded the retreat and four of our advanced battalions were then attacked in a murderous fashion as they" deployed across the open which threw the whole line into confusion. We soon recovered ourselves and drove off the Germans at the point of the bayonet. Tho bugle calls were then abolished, but the Germans tumbled 'to tho game and commenced picking off dispatch riders carrying orders. In consequence some of our troops did not know whether to advance or retreat, and so got cut off here and there."—("Times" and Sydney "Sun" Services.)
