has 'fettled the question of our dis-

did, because she must. It is neces-

Brazil's declaration that "one by one

One remarkable feature of Braxll'.

ask for tin loan from the United

LONDON, Dec. 4.—The Germans
on Monday made their second great
attempt to break through the British
defences In the Gonnelleu sector and
pinch off the salient which General
Byng recently drove into the enemy
territory a little further to the north.
The German assault was launched
against La Vacquerie shortly before
9 o'clock In the morning and spread
rapidly. Within two hours a heavy
*Meae was in progress over a consid-
e ble front from La Vacquerle
thward towards Vendbuile. The

The British 1n ntry and artillery
had met the shock brilliantly and
were holding their own strongly
through the first grim hours of fight -
Ing. The Germans approached La
Vacquerie from the east and south-
east and at the outset it appeared
that the attack was comparatively
local.
In their Initial charge the enem7
came up against a stone wall, and
they were forced to fall back. They
kept coming in waves, however. and
finally secured it footing in the town,
but immediately were ejectedl
The attempt of Crown Prince Rope
precht by an encircling movement to
make nil the brilliant advance of the
British General, Dyne, toward Cam -
brat has resulted apparently In com-
plete failure. Although at certain
poiets :he Germans pierced the Brit-
ish -lines and captured positions, men
and guns, they paid dearly for their
enterprise in easualtfes.
Rdlativilly the British line remains
as it was before the German drive,
Tactically it 1s just as strong. The
enemy, in great numbers. has endea-
vored to pierce the front at Mas-
nleres, delibering in all ten attacks
there, all of which were successfully
repulsed. Some of the enemy suc-
eeeded by redoubled errors In pene-
trating the adjoining village of Les
Rues Vertea, but later were driven
out in a counter-attack.
The sharp salient formed by the
occupation of Maanieres by the Brit-
isb was ,an eitremely hard one to
hold,' and during Saturday night
General Byng, to Improve his line,
ordered the evacaution of the vit. ;
lege. which was carried out unham-
pered by the Germans, who Sunday
morning evidently bad net learned
of the strategic movement, as they
were continuing to bombard the old
Positions. Later Berlin announced
'Hier -tire' village had been cleared of
Britidb.
`ear the southern base of the line
the Germans also have attempted to
better their positions around Gon-
neuleu, La Vacqutere, and Bourton,
but their efforts, as at Masnteree,
brought them nothing more than ad-
ditional heavy caonalttes. The Ger-
man War Office claims that sixty
guns and more than one hundred ma-
chine guns were raptured by them
In the lighting Friday and Saturday.
The Reuter correspondent at Brit-
iah Headquarters in France sends
the following: "During Saturday the
Germans delivered no less than 15
attacks against our positions in La
Vgcquerie. Those in a position to
know say that we killed more Ger-
mans opposite La Vacquerie in. 12
hours than In any other spot in the
same time during the whole course
the war.
"By far the greater proportion of
ICU abandoned in the first German
onset on Friday have been recaptur-
ed: t e others were disabled. The
amoynt f territory the enemy has
gained at the sacrifice of thousands
of lives Is eo trifling that practical-
ly the situation remains unaffected.
