London, Aug. 19-The famous Lya

British pressure.
Again Field Marshal Haig's forces
have compelled the enemy to seek
ground to the eastward where he will
be more secure from the shells of the
big guns that for several weeks have
been firing criss-cross over the entire
salient, working havoc among the de-
tenders of the insecure line.
Likewise the Germans are being
given no rest by the Franco-British
forces north and south of the Somme,
and the French and Americans along
the Vesle and the Americans in Lar

Bailleul and Vieux Berquin on the Lys

the Germans to depth ranging from
1000 to 1000 yards, taking in the
maneuver the village of Outtersteen
and 400 prisoners. A little to the

Jeopardy by attack from the north.
At the same time to the south of
Roye, over the four-mile front be-
tween Beuvraignes and Canny-sur-
