London, Sept. 2S.-Widely separated
wings Of the opposing armies in North
ern France still are striking hard
blows at each other in an effort to
break through their respective posi-
tons.
Bota sides, according to the French
report this afternoon. have made some
progress; the Germans on the allies
right, perhaps, the greatest. Tonight
however, French statement says
that the enemy has been repulsed all
along the front; that the French are
making progress on their left, and
continue to gain ground in the Woere
district.
For three days or more, a violent
battle has been raging in the hills
and on the plains between the rivers
Disc and Somme. Official accounts
both German and French, are silent
about how it is going, but in the
front attack on the Germans strong
~ fortified and we'll reinforced posi-
tons. Farther south, the allies have
made slight progress, the Germans,
apparently being satisfied to remain
on the defensive until the battle on
the flank is decided.
