circus with a new commander, is
busy east of Amiens, where twenty
five or thirty enemy machines are
trying to block the allied scouts from
the back areas along the Somme.
The number of German machines is
increasing and new battle tactics are
being employed. The enemy is put
ting up an exceedingly stiff fight.
There is little ground fighting. The
artillery keeps pounding heavily in
spots. There was a terrific cannonad-
ing between $3.50 and midnight south
of Arras. on a single corps front, while
the harassing fire was unusually bit
ter in the region of Lens, Bethune and
