Days Gains Are With French and British.
ASSOCIATED Press) %:.s
Persistent attacks with strong forces of in
fantry and lavish use of artillery have not enabled
the Germans to break thru the British defense,
and after four days, the great offensive blow In
northern France has not yet brought decision.
Heaviest fighting is in progress around Bapaume,
near Peronne, and where the French and British
fronts join.
HAIG'S WITHDRAWAL MASTERLY
Field Marshal Haigs withdrawal has been ex-
ecuted in manner described as mastery, and
great credit for it's success is given to the small
units, which, sometimes Outnumbered eight or
nine to one, impeded the German advance. The
British have made few counter attacks, but every
one attempted has been successful British ef-
forts are centered on withdrawing as occasion re-
|quires and permitting the enemy to wear himself
|Out.
Early this morning the Germans again hurled
great numbers of infantry against the British
near Ervillers but at the latest reports 0nrushing
troops had been unable to force their way thru the
intense barage which the British maintained. s.
heavy battle also has been proceeding to-
day on the British right flank, where the enemy
had succeeded IN forming MS way across the
Somme and the canal south of Ham. The allies
were delivering counter attacks for the purpose
Iof pushing back the invaders across the water
WAY. -..@..,>"
The fighting in the north Sunday reached the
old battle field of Somme, from which the Ger
mans retreated year ago. Bapaume is the key
position between Arras and Albert, and Berlin re-
ports that a "gigantic" struggle is being made for
it's possession. Peronne is claimed by the Ger
mans, but heavy fighting is taking place around
it. Between Bapaume and Peronne the Germans
have reached the Transloy Combless- -Maurepas
line, held by the British.
GERMANS HALTED AT CHAUNY .4
On the south, where the sanguinary struggle
has not halted for many years. the Germans have
reached Chauny, an important point on the Disc
river, southwest of La Fere Here, however, their
advance has not been so great as directly west OF
st. Quentin where they have progressed more
than ten miles. The British and French battle
lines meet near Chauny, and the French lines
along the Chemin Des Danes and eastward to-
ward Rheims would be menaced if the German ad-
vanced as far as Compegie, on the road to Paris
Compegie is 20 miles southwest of Chauny.
The intensity of the struggle is shown by the
official announcement that British aviators on
Sunday brought down 81 enemy machines. The
British lost only 9. In addition, British airmen
again have dropped bombs on Mannheim Ger
many.
