The fighting on other portions OF
the battle front evidently is limited
to artillery duels.
FLANDERS FRONT-Activity is
increasing along the western portion
of this front. The British yesterday
and last night advanced their lines
slightly near Neux Berquin and
Meteren. A German attack north.
west of KENNEL was repulsed.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD. Aug. 14.--Gen.
Humbert. following the successful
advance OF his right wing in the
Disc valley. is now striking north-
ward into that region, almost at
right angles to the main battle
front.
This operation Is now fully under
way. the French infiitrating the ra-
vines between the tiny hills-fcw Of
which are more than $50 feet high.
and which give this section its name
as Little Switzerland"
The French already possess Pies
sier and LEcouvillon. the keys to
this region.
Steady Advance N
The advance is careful because Of
the great quantities OF mustard gas
with which the Germans flooded the
depressions and their abandoned
trenches. but 1t is steady.
The French line is now OF n saw.
tooth nature. owing to the peculiari-
ties OF the terrain.
Prisoners taken by n French d.
vision now before Belvan. a mile and
half south of Lassigny. are re-
sponsihle for the knowledge of Ger
man commands and orders. These
prisoners. consisting OF III men and
seven officers. from five different
companies. added to the increasing
testimony OF the shakiness OF the
German army's morale.
