Massey.) Aua 11 It was mainly due to the extraordinarily well sustained efforts of the Anzao Mounted Division that the Turks to day abandoned their advanced base at Bir el Abd. On August 9 fighting oetween tne two loroes was determined and exceedingly bitter, but the Australian Light Hone, the New Zealand Mounted Rifles, and the British Territorial Horse Art ill Yeomanry fought with superb resolution. Their iuuii ana courage overcame attacks launched with desperation, and forced superior numbers back behind their defences. Our guns got within 2,000 yards range of the Turks, who threw an amazing number of high explosive In the afternoon the artillery duel was much more intense than at the battle of Romani, and all engaged who were in Uallipoli agree that nothing in the Peninsula was so consistently fierce. The Turks thrice attacked, the thirf time late in the afternoon.

This was a very determined attempt to reach our line, and could only have been delivered in such an impetuous manner by fresh troops. It faded completely owing to the heavy gusts of shrapnel and the steady and disciplined fire of the Ansae marksmen. In front of our position the enemy dead were very numerous, and the Turks buried many next day. Yesterday constant pressure was kept up. The Turks found that the holding of Bir el Abd was too costly (though here they were out of range of our monitors in the Mediterranean) and crept away in the moonlight along the route which may still be a troubled path.

There is no doubt that the original estimate that the enemy lost a third of their effective strength has been largely exceeded. lacing the great previously prepared, the Turks prevented the the constant roar of infantry, since yesterday week they have had mdow. Again and again we fight alm08t incessantly. This the finest brazen clamour of military tribute that can be paid to the Anzac Mounted jfcMic out the superb strains ol the Division.

It is across the range of hills shown in the above section plan of the Somme battlefield that the British Army has been forcing the Germans northward and north eastward since the offensive began on July The range is 10 miles long, and its highest point is less than 500ft. above the sea, The hills are so small that they are not counted as such in the general geography of Europe, but only as details of the surface drainage system of the great East and West European Plains, which can be crossed by tram irora the Pyrenees to Warsaw out passing tnrougn a single tunnei. ine 3 has sometimes been called a plateau, but it has, in miniature, all the salient features a mountain range.

Looking northward from a slight eminence in front of Bray sur Somme, the main water shed of the range can be seen undulating along the sky line trom west to a little south oi east. Parallel to this main axis, and mounting up to it. one sees the successive shelves, or terraces. of the range's southern slope. It is also possible to make out the lateral valleys and ridges cutting down southward and south westward across these terraces and breaking up the whole slope into capricious looking irregularities of urface.

The ranee is made of a stiff yellowish clay, and is dotted, on the nearer side, with a dozen villages, a few isolated farms, and six or seven thick woods of irregular shape, with well defined edges, looking rather like patches of fenced cover in a bare park.

Sfat iSSgt out bD point from which the battlefield is being viewed there are the battered remains of the first system of German trenches, with the ruins of Fricourt and Mamets beside them, and Montauban on the rismg ground beyond. On and above the fit broad terrace, or alp, of the range, behind Montauban, can be traced the general trend of the second German line of defence, running south eastward from Poxieres, past Bazentin le Grand and Longueval, to Guillemontr the six mile stretch of trench and fortified village that we carried at the second step of our advance. On the wooded sky line beyond can be made out, with the glass, some points on or near the German third line, which is now our objective. The high ground above Tbiepval is one such point.

High Wood (the Bois de Foureaux) is another. Martinpuich, the chief village on the line, is not quite visible. Once we stand on that sky line, with the Martinpuich line of German tranrhm in our hands, we shall look down the far slope of the whole range mto the little vaUey formed by the upper waters of the Ancre as they flow west ward from Gueudecourt, past Warlencourt, to Miraumont, before turning southward to Albert. We shall look across his unnv valW of the Ancre to Bapaume, on its opposite slope, and we shall know that for the Germans the security of Bapaume will be gone, and that the German position west of a 12 mile line drawn from Bapaume to Arras will have begun to acquire the character of an almost peninsular salient. It is this that our troons are arraduallv achieving.

It is a situation to be regarded with quiet confidence, as the Army on the Somme regards it, but it is well that people at home should not underrate its past and present difficulties. What the fighting has proved so far is, first, that given an ample supply of munitions, our artillery can reduce any desired sector of a German trench to a condition in which it is untenable against really determined infantry attack and, secondly, that the infantry of the new Army can be depended upon to attack with that determination. These two facts together are the assurance of ultimate success, but not of headlong immediate success.
