MANY SMALL FIGHTS
ALONG BRITISH FRONT

London. Aug. 29.-General Haig
reported today that there was fight
ing last night and today on half
dozen fronts along the western lines,
but with no concerted offensive.
The dispatches from Paris speak
only of artillery activity on the
French front.
Along the front in northern
France bad weather again has set
in. and aside from reciprocal bonn
Ibardments, which at some points
have reached the stage OF drumfire,
little is being done by either OF the
belligerents.
In the Verdun sector the Germans
have ceased their counter-attacks
against the newly won French posi-

the task OF trying to rehabilitate
themselves was useless. The infan-
try OF both sides have remained in
their trenches and only on the west

been even artillery activity.

consistent effort was made to use
them where their especial qualifica-

most service. 1t was quickly found
that they were especially valuable
