The enemy counter-attacked immediately, in accordance with their new tactical

scheme. Their repeated assaults wore repulsed everywhere during the day. In the course of the night, the Germans concentrated their attack on the low ridge east of Ypres, between Et. Julien and Westhoek. Our men held the xidge, but had to withdraw from St. Julien and from the larger portion of Weethoek. On Wednesday afternoon the enemy again attacked this ridge, and at their second attempt broke into our advanced trenches on a narrow front near Verlorenhoek. Late that night, however, they were driven out by our counter-attack. These slight setbacks on so wide a front emphasize the stubbornness with which British and French alike held the ground that they had won.
