A violent snow storm has served for
the moment to hold in leash the Brit
ish forces which since early Sunday
morning had been hammering the
Germans hard along the Arras Lens
front. Low-lying clouds and the thick
lv falling snow greatly tmpeded the
movement Of the troops Wednesday.
Early in the morning, the village
and heights of Monchy lie Preux, east
Of Arras fell into the hands OF the
British and were held despite two
counter-attacks delivered by the Ger
mans, according to London. North Of
this position Berlin reports the re-
pulse with heavy casualties of British
infantry and cavalry attacks near
Fampoux and Roeux.
The London communication says that
in the neighborhood Of Bullecourt,
west of Cambria, Field Marshal Haig's
men penetrated a German position,

Somme and have won wide recognition
of their skill and daring. Sergeant Raul
Lufbery has brought down six German
machines, Sub-Lieutenant Bert Hall three
and number of other Americans one
each.
Lieutenant William Thaw. ranking off,
Ger among the Americans, bested a FOX
ker at Verdun and was wounded in the
arm, but is again in service. Sergeant
Kitten Rockwell and Norman Prince were
killed in action after each had sent two
German machines to destruction. Cor
poral Victor Chapman brought down
three Germans and was killed at Verdun
by Captain Boelke. the famous German
airman. Sergeant James Mcconnell, who
was decorated with the French war cross,
was killed last month in a battle over
the German lines.
The success of the Americans has led
the French authorities to give them many
difficult and dangerous assignments, and
they are often to be found far behind the
German lines. 1t was the Lafayette corps
which escorted the squadron that bonn
barded the Mauser rifle works as Oben-
dorf, leading to several aerial battles and
the destruction Of three German ma
chimes.
