ALLIES FURTHER PROGRESS.
Received Friday, 11.30 p.m. Paris, Friday.
A French eye-witness says three hundred corpses were found in the ruins of St. Georges. We held the position, though on the 13th the Germans fired four thousand shell*, smashing up St. Georges. We held up forts occupied by 140 Germans in the Ypres region. Seventy were burned and others fled, but our artillery wiped them out." Our patrols found many flooded trenches full of German corpses.
