British and Huns Locked in Great
Battle in Picardy; Haig Doing Well
Associated Press war R.riex.

British and German armieJ are locked
in a mighty battle today over a twenty
fivemile front from Lihons, six miles
south of the Somme river, to the
Cojeul river, southwest of Arras. This
combat, which began with the British
attack against the enemy positions east
OF the Ancre river on Wednesday,
now has spread into one OF the great
est battles in Picardy. II is officially
reported from London that the British
are making progress at some points
and that German attacks east Of Beau
court at about the middle OF the battle
front Were repulsed.
The British apparently are on the ag-
gressive along the whole line.
French troops have occupied the
southern banks OF the Oise and the
Ailette between Sempigny, south Of
Noyon, to the railroad bridge west OF
Coucy le- Chateau.
South of Coucy le- Chateau they have
reached the outskirts of Guny and
Pont St Mard. This process brings
them still farther toward the rear OF
the German forces holding the hills
north of Soissons and within three
miles Of the German positions north OF
Chemin des Danes. as they stood be-
fore the offensive of May n.
Allied pressure continues strong
along the whole front. Unless the
enemy can stop the onrush. particularly
in the south, his territorial gains OF
the present year are IN fair way to
be wiped out Further. II either OF the
allied strokes can break through. the
old Hindenburs line itself will be i'm
periled.
