IN MASS ATTACK
BRITISH REcAPTURE BULLE-
COURT AFTER DAYS OF MOST
INTENSE FIGHTING OF YEAR.
Frenchmen also Victors in Furious
Encounters, Causing Heavy casu-
alties to Germans and Taking
Many Prisoners.

London.-After days of intensive
| fighting, in which positions have
changed hands numerous times, the
British troops have recaptured the
greater portion of Bullecourt and re-
pulsed violent counterattacks by the
Germans east of the village.
Along the Scarpe river, east of Ar
ras there also have been sanguinary
encounters, but again the advantage
rested with Field Marshal Haig's
forces. Portions of Roeux have been
taken by the British and another step
forward has been gained by them on
the western slopes of Greenland hill.
There has been no let-up in the
fighting, which has been going on
since the spring offensive began.
Eleven German airplanes were ac-
counted for Saturday by the British.
The British lost six machines.
On the southern end of the line held
by the French the Germans Sunday
morning made strong attacks on the
plateau of Craonne, on the sector north
of Rheims and in the region of Mai
sons de champagne. NOT alone dld the
French put down all three attacks with
the fire of their artillery and rifles
causing heavy casualties, but they
pushed back the German line and in
addition made prisoners.
There is still no indication of the |
approach Of any fighting of moment |
between the Austro-Germans and Rus
slams on the eastern front from the |
Baltic sea to Roumania. Along this
entire line the operations consist
merely of small skirmishes and recon
In Macedonia violent artillery duets
are in progress along the entire front,
with the preponderance in the gun
power apparently on the entente side.
Sunday saw no infantry actions there.
