Again Fb hi Mar, shal Halg's forces have compel..,! enemy to seek ground to the eastward where he will be more securo from th shells of the big guns that for several weeks have been firing crlKs-cros, over the entire salient, working havoc among the defenders of the iimecun lino. Likewise tho Germans are hilnj given no rest by the Fraiifo-itrltish forces north and south of the Sonant and the French and Americans alon? the Vcsle, and tho Americans In i,or. raine, also are harassing tlinu ,y ar. tlllery fire and local attacks. Nowhont has the enemy had the better of any encounter. Over a front of four miles ljr-twen Bullion and Vleux Iierquin, on the Lys sector, tho British have forced back the Germans to a depth ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 yards taking In the maneuver the village of Gutter steen and 400 prisoners. A little to the south along tlie I,yi River near Merville the British al.o have advanced their line, nnd mil farther south, between Arras and Al bert, the Germans have been relieved, under pressure, of further terrain nur Bucrjuoy. While as a whole the German line between the Somme and the 0:e (livers Is still holding, notwithstand ing the terrific pounding It is recelv fng from the Allied guns, the Ilrltlsh have drawn nearer the road leading from Chaulnes to Hoye between Chilly ind Fransart, placing Roye In greater jeopardy by attack from tho north. It Is In this region that the French are endeavoring and In their Initial efforts they huve met with consider able success to carry forward thiir two-fold purpose of outUanklni; both Hoye nnd Lasslgny by a drive east ward In the direction of the road lead ng southeastward from Hove to Noyon. Along the Vesle River front, wher the Americans and French are holding '.hi; line against the Germans, tlieie has been considerable reciprocal ar tillery shelling, but with the weight of gun power and of shells resting with the Allied troops. They gave the emimy two shells for one. An indica tion that the German line immediately In front on the French and Americana Is thinly held Is the fact that Amer ican patrols at various points have penetrated sectors to the enemy's barbed wire and trenches without en countering Infantrymen. In Lorraine, where the Americans captured the village of Frapelle, near St. Die, Saturday morning, they have pressed on and gained more ground, notwithstanding a heavy bombard ment by tho enemy.
