Result Of DAVIS Fighting.

London March 28.-In the last "a hours the Ger

quarters For the British there may be claimed several
distinct local successes either in completely repeng
enemy blows in wrestling back ground won by coun-
ter attacks.
Although the Germans continue to use their infan-
try with ruthless prodgaty the general pressure along
the front is for the moment less determined This may
be attributed in part to the enemy waiting to bring up
heavy artillery preparatory to another great effort and
in part to exhaustion.
Nothing can be learned of the appearance of enemy
tanks the British 'front.' while those left by the re-
treating British Systematically destroyed the cor
reports,
The enemy is continuing to bring troops from far
and near to replenish his reserves and along wide
stretches the German front is held by mere screen of
troops. e

Germans have usually given the
captures of prisoners and guns in
round numbers, not as actually coun-
ted but as anticipated.
Our total loss of guns is about
500, according to our best informa-
ton. This compares with the Ger

Probably the same ratio holds
good regarding German claims Of

prisoners includes many OF our
