Another smashing drive by the Brit
ish on the French front was begun to-
day. General Haig reports an advance
on an extended front north Of Scarpe.
The attack already has scored good
progress and is continuing. Heavy
fighting has developed, the Germans
throwing fresh divisions into the fray.
The field of the new push lies within
the ten mile front from the Scarpe
to the coal city Of Lens, which the
British have had under their guns on
three sides for nearly two weeks.
General Haig already Lad pushed a
deeper wedge into the German line

German Ground Hard to Hold
Every yard he gains there is max
ing the German front between that
point and Lens more difficult to hold.
A considerable part of the force Of the
present heavy attack seems to be aim
ed at this part of the line.
At two points along this stretch the
British are reported to have advanced
more than mile as far as Arleux nd
Oppy but definite possession of these
villages was question for the furious
fighting of the day to settle.
The British apparently are giving
the Germans more than they can sue

section of the great battlefield. The
French are keeping up a heavy artil-

The French seemingly have COM

booty taken In the recent fighting on
this front They captured 175 cannon
of all calibers, 412 machine guns and
