Dormant Fighting Lines on
Western Front Become
More Tense and Germans
Develop Nerves. Battle
Scared Ridge Under
Fire.
ARMENTIERES ALSO
STANDS SHELL RAIN

British Headquarters in France,
July 26.-The German and British
fighting lines in France and Belgium
which have been comparatively dor
mant for several weeks SO far as any
large offensive is concerned. have
tensed perceptibly in the last few
days Out of the stiffening have grown
numerous fierce artillery duels, es-
pecially in Flanders. The Germans
have developed what Is known among
the British as nerves" that Is they
have been exceptionally sensitive to
any movement Of their opponents
which deviatas from the routine and
give evidence OF this condition in
furious bombardments at suspected
points. From this the conclusion is
drawn that for reasons Of their own
the Germans may be fearing that
trouble Is impending in some section
and are not certain where to look for
its appearance.
Lens and Hill 10 nearby have been
under heavy and almost continuous
gunhre. Even the battle SCARED and
barren vimy ridge which overlooks
the valley above Lens, has been the
object Of vigorous shelling which has
accomplished nothing except to add
still more shell craters on the already
badly punished hill
Armentieres also has undergone q
tremendous fire and various other
places whic happear to have come un-
der the suspicion or displeasure OF
the Germans have withstood a rain Of
shells.
HEAVY GERMAN LOSES,
Paris, July 26.-German assaults
were re-opened last night along the
front Of about two mill; on the Aisne
front from a point 81 Of Hurtebise
to La Bovelle The french official
statement issued this afternoon said
that at the cost of tremendous losses
the Germans were able to penetrate
into certain elements of the French
first line trenches.
North of Aubertive In the Cham
pagne the French penetrated the Ger
man trenches. the statement says. and
inflicted heavy losses on the Germans.
On the other parts Of the Champagne
front the artillery bombardment was
intense. Fighting lasted all night, the
French repelling every attack made
by the Germans.
The Germans also renewed their as
saults on the French positions at Hur-
tebise farm but the attack broke down
under the trench fire of the French.
The reciprocal artillery fire on the
left bank OF the River Meuse in the
Verdun region was maintained with
the usual violence.
