"The battling says the corre-
spondent. has been in many places
of ding-dong order, which renders it
extremely difficult to define the situa-

claimed as successful day for our
gallant troops. The most cOnspicu-
GUS gains have been on the fianks of
the long front, while towards the cen

haCe made less progress owing 10 the
intensity of concealed machine gun
fire.
DESPITE the opposition of massed
