another big effort on the wide battle
front In Northern France. Heavy drum
fire, such as usually precedes an at
tack is reported along extensive sec

artillery actions along the French front.
The most intensive fire seems to be
in progress south Of the Somme where
the direct drive toward Amiens is on
and north OF the Scarpe river towards
the British left flank.
The increase in the artillery fire
north of the Scarpe river may mean a
renewal by the Germans OF their thrust
toward Arras, which broke down ut
terly earlier in the battle against the
southern approaches to Fimy ridge.
