Waste of .Waters Confronts Bri-
tish North of Valenciennes.
A 'despatch from London says
the region east of Courtrai the British
delivered an attack on Thursday
'against the Germans, gained all 'their
objecitives 'and took a thousand Ger-
titan prisoners, according to Field
Marshal Haig's communication issued
on Thursday nig:ht, and whieh indi-
cates that the British are fighting
rig.ht on the Scheldt, and are probably
acros'§ it at an iinportant point.k
A despatch from the British Armies
in France says: -A waste trf waters
c ,-ifronts the British First Army
north of Valenciennes. The Huns
have- breached the banks of the
Scheldt Canal and blown up sluices to
give their rear guard additional pro-
tection and a great artificial lake, in
places ,three 'miles broad, ziow covers
the level ground before oirtpots.
The larges,t inundation is between
Valehiciennes and Conde, -where the
Seheldt g1.111S, are:practically in a
straight line for nearly seven miles.
It j9ins the 1VIons Canal at Conde, and
thelatter'thee pra:ctically disappeared
in the floOd. which stretches beyond
Fresnes toward Thivencelles and other
villages north-east of Valenciennes.
,There. are •leeser floods and patches.

Thus the 22 -mile front limng

a -water harrier for tworthirds, of ,the
way. The, ;foods firE not deep, m

but obviously they cannot,. easily be

The Austrians in the north • are

The other Austrian army is menac-

The Austrians have been complete-
