The Gorman infantry drew closer,but the annihilating fire of the guns drove the Blacks out. They re-formed in sheltered ground, and began a counter charge, with the yellow Turcos and re-took chateau.

With this final break in the centre, the enemy's whole line vwiuored-- The French pressed forward, and the Germans stumbled over the swamps, abandoning forty-two field pieces before order was restored by subsequent withdrawal further eastward.
