ARTILLERY PREPARATIONS INDICATE
ANOTHER HEAVY ATTACK BY GERMANS
Big Gun Preparation indicates Infantry Attack on Larae

tones along 4 front Of more than 100
miles from north OF Arras TO north Of

said to be rocking from The heavy de-
'onalionS but no infantry action has
yet developed.
Especially severe has been the Ger
man fire around Bucuuoy. north OF
Albert; south of The Sommc and be-
tween Montdidicr and Noyon. Last
week the Germans failed in mass at
tackS TO penetrate the British and
french defCnScs north and south Of
the sectors directly cast of Amicns
and thus extend the apex of their
wedge. The tremendous lombard
ment now going on undoubtedly is the
iorcrunncr Of heavier attacks prob
ably all along the line from .Arras TO
NOyon.
Bucuuoy which is south Of Arras, is
on the northern end Of The sector
which the British defended so valiant
