Carpeted frith Dead
Semlofeclal accounts of the fight-
ing of the Belgians at Ypres show that
the tactics of Gen. 1)e Counlnck, com
mantling King Albert's troops betweon
Yperles and Langematck were brit
tient and proved enormously coatis
to the Germans. He concealed ma-
chine gun sections of the grenadier
and carabineer regiments in trench's
n ear the Yperles stream supported by
• grenadier battalion under Major
Borremans. Not suspecting a trap a
hugs wave of Germans swept towards
Yperlee until, at a range of 160 yards
the B.igtan machine guns began to
belch death. The Germans' dense
formation and the onward thrust of
their rear guard prevented the oncom-
ing enemy from halting or retreating
and very soon the ground for 100 yards
around was carpeted with dead_ Aa
soon as the German rear turned about
the remnant of the vanguard tied
Dante -stricken from the blood-soaked
battlefield to tbetr covering trenches,
abandoning tbousands of dead and
dytag. 80 complete was the surprise
that the Germans 7ere unable to in-
dict any serious looses on the vic-
torious Belgians who counted but a
few dead and but 400 wounded among
their ranks.
