Tho Germane have, to the time of writing, made no
attempt to counter-attack our men on the ridge or on its north-western slopes. They bombarded the ridge on Monday, but their infantry did not move. On Tuesday the enemy voluntarily evacuated the low ground east of the central part of the ridge round Broodseinde, which the Australians took and now hold. In the new positions our men look right across the Flemish plain to Bruges. The correspondents have thus boon able to ace and describe ono of the incessant British naval air raids on the Bruges docks and the locks of the Zeebrugge Canal. When the battle of Flanders came to a standstill, the British line south-east of Arras again became active. Last Sunday Eastern County troops executed a brilliant raid south- east of Moneby-le-Proux, killing two hundred Germans and capturing sixty-four. Other raids followed on Monday and Tuesday near Bullecourt and Roux, to keep the enemy occupied.
