HARD FIGHTING
IS CONFINED TO
NARROW STRIP
<By Associated Press)


On the front In France the hard
fighting has been confined to the Bull
lecourt sector and the region north OF
the Scarpe, in the Arras battle area.
and to a strip, about two and one-half
miles in length, on the western end
of the Aisne front.
Correspondents dispatches from this
region report General Haig's troops as
having reclaimed all the ground they
had lost within the confines of the
ruined village and to have established
new posts, west Of Bullecourt.
As to the fghting north Of the
Scarpe, there is nothing in the oficial
account to give clue to its definite
import or to the way 1t is trending.
A new German attack on the French
lines was delivered along a four hlo-
meter stretch in the region Of the Las
faux mill, where the French front
bends northward. The French posi-

of repeated powerful assaults BY the
Crown Princes troops.
