Of this territory is in the northern

IN THE AIR THE BRITISH HAVE GREAT ADVANTAGE
OVER THE GERMANS; BRING DOWN MANY PLANES

London March 30-The fighting
Yesterday in the north centered about
Bois LIE Mare, Ayette, Courcelles and
Ablainzeyillo Here the Germans
made a succession of heavy assaults
for the purpose Of obtaining high
ground, but in each case the attack
inb infantry either came against a
stone wall defense or was immediate
y thrown out by a vigorous counter
attack
At least six attacks were delivered
during the day by the Germans and
the engagements have resulted in vir-
tually no change in the situation. The
enemy lost heavily in men. The Ger
mans are still rushing up artillery
fer continuance Of the battle but
in some sections the guns are coming
forward somewhat slowly Prisoners
say that good supplies also are con
irg up badly because Of tho length.
ening Of communication
Certainly no small part of the Ger.
man difficulty in getting guns, troops
and supplies forward has been due tc
the marvellous work Of the British air
men since the inception Of the ba'
tie The British aviators have
waged such intense warfare over the
enemy territory that the Germans
have been forced to abandon some Of
the highways and employ roundabout
routes. A striking example of thi is
the Albert -Bapaume road which igI
one Of the main arteries and which
the Germans are compelled to avoid
Bravery and skill of the British fliers
is illustrated we'll by two rather or
cinary battles which took jlace yes
terday One British fler when at
tackled by ten German albatrosses
stood them off and brought down one
before he retired in safety. Another
British machine was attacked by nne
German triplanes. The pilot returned
after a hot fight In which he brought
down one of the enemy.
