ports. Three machine guns were cap
tured. The statement follows:
I'VE carried out successful raid

captured a few prisoners and three
machine guns, with slight casualties
to our troops. A raid attempted by

German lines of communication and

ish heavy guns, both in Flanders and
In Picardy.
While Won Hindenburg is preparing,
mighty onslaught, his preliminary op-
eratiOns are being carried out under
difficulties.
This is indicated by both the French
and British reports both of which tell
of artillery exchanges. nearly all along
the battle line in northern France. At
some points this big gun dueling, dis
patches say, reaches the proportions
of a pitched general engagement.
Reciprocal raiding activity in the Ar
ras region is looked on with interest
here as showing both sides on their
toes at this point Both the Cana
dams in their sortie near st. Vitassee
and the Germans at Boyelles probably
were seeking to feel out their oppo-
nents' strength and local dispositions.
Some observers here consequently be-
lieve that the enemy's next blow may
be delivered against the Canadians at
Arras' and n0rthward along the Vimy

front.
There was no infantry action in this
period, but from the furious gun duets
waged south of ArraS during the early
part of the night one might easily have
drawn the conclusion that a grand at
tack was in progress.
The Germans kept up a considerable
bombardment of the back areas in
Flander, with high-velocity guns. The
allies, on the other hand, were busy
hammering the enemys roads and CON
centration points.
1t rained again, making the Flanders
battle-ground still more difficult for the
enemy to work over in carrying out
preparations for a further attack.
