BRILLIANT FEAT OF ARMS.
BRITISH BRIGADE'S WORK
LONDON, March 30. Mr Beach Thomas, correspondent of the Daily Mail on , the front, states that recently a British -brigade dashingly attacked a machine-gun position near C'roisiles against a hail of bullets. The cavalry charged several machine-gun positions and 'captured the guns. Individual feats of Red Cross men are unparalleled. Some bearers carried tho wounded for six hours without rest. The enemy's retreat is more hurried than he likes. He is holding farm and village fortresses under the direct orders of Hindenburg, who reviewed the line three weeks ago. Among the defences of the villages were found roomy panelled dug-outs, with three staircases, and as many as 37 steps. Roadside fortresses were also discovered, with walls built* of heavy iron girders, in double bands, with 6 feet of sandbags between. The Germans tried, but failed, fco destroy these defences. The Germans call their new positions the Siegfried line.
