OF Vimy ridge and west of Lens were
heavily shelied throughout yesterday.
German gunners were especially active
along the whole British front from
Newport to the southern extremity of

An Important Sequel
The British today added another
brief but important sequel to the bat
tie of last week, when they carried by
assault German forward positions
along the front between Frezenberg
and the Ypres-Menin road and thereby
obtaining strong defences which had
remained in the enemys possession on

the west bank of the stream several
farms that the Germans had been
forced to evacuate under pressure of
artillery fire and the gradual tighten
ing OF the French lines. Among the
booty captured by the French were
five guns\ which the enemy had been
unable to remove in their hurried
withdrawal.
