WONDERFUL BRITISH.
10.000,000 SHELLS IN LAST PUSH. Facts arc now available says a London paper, illustrating tile magnificent work of tlie British troops in the recent great advance. The engineers had thrown bridges over the Somme capable of carrying horses and OOpdr. guns a few hours gfter the enemv had withdrawn. The transport service supplied at least 10,000,000 rounds to the artillery, an expenditure greater than that in the prolonged third battle of Ypres. Our counter-battery work is known from captured enemy documents to have caused ten times greater losses than our own, and it is held up by Ludendorff as a pattern. Our field and heavy artillery have constantly pushed up almost to the front line, firing point-blank and knock ing out the enemy’s forward guns.
