To-day on the front OF the British Of
fcnsivc. Reuters correspondent at the
british hca dguarters telegraphs that
the German So appsrently have good
idea OF the principal points against
which the British effort is directed and
which must be carried before 1T will be
possible for tho British TO go ahead

fresh troops to defend these positions
as rapidly as II is possible to hurry
them up.
The contour ot ,he Scarpc Valley is
particularly favorable to tho establish
Incnt OF perfect nest OF machine gun
positions which are extremely difficult

TO deal with by artillery fire. but they
arc gradually being subducd.
Just in the last pitched battle,
the hottest fighting centered around
Monchy. now Rouex is the scene Of the
severcst lighting" the correspondent
continues. The Germans appreciate
the tactical value OF Rouex as com
plement to Monchy. and are sacrificing
troops in drovcs in an effort to keep
the British out. but the concentra-
tion OF big British guns is making the
Germans pay heavy price for their
opposition.
"All night long the battle crashed
and Numbered around RoueX, and the
