The Official Eye Witness Tells of Successful. Action on Saturday Last --Trench War Within Ten Minutes. . Ottawa, Oct. 26.--Lieut.-General Sir Sam Hughes has received the fol- lowing report from the Canadian War Records Office: . ~ "Canadian Corps Heallquarters in France, Oct. 22 (via London, Oct 25). ~The mystery of the Regina trench is solved. The resistance of the Germans at this point has been finally broken, and the British are now: in possession of a line to which the 'enemy attache considerable tactical importance. Three times the Canadians had attacked. this position. Each time they had successfully broken into the trenches and had in- flicted heavy losses upon the enemy, but each time strong hostile counter- attacks had driven them out again. "Thé German defences had indeed been so organized that almost an air of mystery and of sinister hidden danger had come to be attached to the Regina trench. It was known to ba strongly built, with many deep and to be protected by wire entanglements but the line ran for the greater part below the crest of the intervening ground and could be reconnoitered only by night. Wounded men who returned claim- ed that the enemy rifle and machine gun fire came from behind the trench and that in counter-attacking the Germans appeared to spring from a concealed position immediately in the rear. Success Last Saturday. In the advance of October which carried the British line 21, for- ward on a frontage of 5,000 yards and to an average depth of 500 yards, the Canadians, with other troops, ad- vanced to the attack of Regina trench, They were successful. Pro- fiting by the former experiences, their artillery maintained a continu- ous bombardment of their objectives until the wite entanglements were ali completely blown away and no longer presented an obstruction -to the in- fantry advance, In the general assault the task of the Canadians was a minor but a very important ong. Their actual ob-~ jective was only a length of 600 yards of the Regina trench immedi- ately to the north of the village' of Courcelette. But this formed the right 'flank of the attack, and the Canadian troops were obliged nto only to secure their proper objective, but also to connect the right of 'the captured position with their origifial line in such a manner as to make a defensive flank to the east. ; For this purpose-troops from west- ern Canada and Montreal were em- ployed. An Ontario battalion was also to advance in close support. During the night of October 20-21 the assaulting troops took up their position. The night was clear and frosty. The trenches, dug in heavy soil, were half filled with mud and water, for therq had been much rain during the previous days. The ground about was in a difficult copdition, churned and 'beaten into a sticky pulp by the long hombardment. The morning sun could do little to dry the water-soaked earth. Won Within Ten Minutes, Shortly before noon the enemy, suspecting perhaps the imminence of an attack, began a heavy artillery fire own guns opened with the full fury of their massed batteries. The cpon- centration was terrific, and the hail of heavy shells and shrapnel descend- ed with deadly force and accuracy. * The infantry advance began, The men clamored out of their trenches, and in long lines dashed forward close under the barrage. advancing as .ra- pidly as the state of the ground would permit, In ten minutes the 500 yards of open ground had been crossed and Regina trench was ours.
