shock of the German assault in the re-
newal of the drive in the great battle
south of tho Somme. the British and
Franco American lines are now stand
ing firmly against tho desperate con-
tinuing assaults of the enemy.
On tho ten-mile front south of the
Somme, where the intensive force Of the
blow has been concentrated, the British
have lost villers-Bretonneux and the
French the village of Hangard-en-San-
terre.:
Already Field Marshal Haig's forces
have begun to react strongly in the
vicinity Of tho former place. and they
have resained ground around 1t and
considerably improved their general
position.

skirts of the town. Whero severe fight
From tho French sector came word
that the Germans had made very slight
progress.
Violent Artillery Preparation.
Tho assault was preceded by = heavy
bombardment about villers-Breton-
neux. At the conclusion of this prepa-
ration the Germans surged forward
along the whole British front south of
the Somme. although It seemed evi-
dent that they had villers- Bretonneux
as their ultimate goal because Of its
dominating position.
The f1rst attack was thrown back. but
the enemy Immediately came forward

cess. In the face of heavy machine gun
and rife nre the Germans pushed on

bert region, the British infantry put up
an 8. o. s. for artillery protection about
o'clock this morning and what ap-
peared to promise q serious attack be-
gan to show. 1t turned out to be moth
ing more pretentious than at attempted

smashed the enemy infantry as they
we're leaving their trenches.
Between Robecq and Givenchy-lez-
La Bassee there was also considerable
enemy shelling this morning and the
Germans made a small attack in an
attempt TO take post near Givenchy.

which resulted in the recapture of a
strong post which tie enemy held.
