s., Yesterday the first. attacks on
any large SCALE launched for sew
, eral days were made upon the
British and French positions be-
tween the Somme and Ancre and
north of Mont KemmeI, respec-
lively, (which attacks maybe the
prelude to the greater attack de-
veloping on this sector, or feints
to cover preparations on the Al
bert front, where the Entente
strategists believe the heavysef-
fort is to be made.
One attack, as reported by
General Haig, developed along a
mile of the British front in the
Somme-Ancre angle, near Nor
lancourt. Here, at one point, the
Germans penetrated the British
lines and there was heavy hand
to-hand fighting, with the Austria,
lians countering 6ercely. The
British cleared their positions and
drove the Germans out. At all
other points. along this front the
HUNS were beaten, back before
they reached the British trenches
suffering heavy losses. n ]
GERMANS SEIZE HILL "a
On the Flanders front the fight
ing is of a desperate nature, a
rush by the Germans having Civ
en- them possession of Hill "A,
north of NJ ont KENNEL, an i'm
portant position. The Germans
were apparently holding this hill
last night, according to des-
patches from General Plumer's
headquarters, with the French
driving a heavy counter against

cuPation. .
On the Somme-Ancre sector
the Germans bornbarded heavily
during Monday night, preparing
for the infantry advance launched
yesterday. During the night and |
morning there was also heavy
artillery duels on the Champagne
front, in the neighborhood OIL
Beaulieu.
On the Italian front there was
very bloody hand-to-hand fight
ing on Monday night, the Italians
endeavoring to retrieve their de
feat on Monte Como and to re-
gain the position. The Italians
fought desperately and the enemy
was defeated. Much of the fight
ing was dom. in darkness, light
ened only by the flash of rifle and
machine gun firing and the short
illumination of the glares. The
