tirement Expected.
FRENCH AND BRITISH
IN LOCAL BATTLES
Haig Presses Toward Le Verguier.
Aerial Activity Is Gen.
orally Intense.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Allied pressure against the Ger.
mans on the western front shows NO
signs Of abating. In the region Of
Metz the enemy is reported to be
burning towns in the valley Of tho
Moselle, probably in preparation for
a retirement to the Hindenburg line, in
this region.
From Ypres to Rheims the British
and French are carrying out local en-
gagements with success. Between Lens
and Ypres the British have pushed for
ward slightly, while northwest Of st.
Quentin they are pressing toward Ls
Verguier, which is on high ground and
offers good starting point for flank
ing movement north of st. Quentin.
Aerial activity in the region from
Laon to Metz continued intense. and
possibly may be the forerunner Of large
scale infantry operations on this front.
French aviators have accounted for six
teen captive balloons and twelve enemy
airplanes. while allied bombing squad
rons have been drenching enemy rail-
way functions and other targets effec-
lively.
German artillery fire against the new
American front southwest Of Metz is
very strong. The belief that the enemy
is digging in on the Hindenburg line In
strengthened by the fact that his heavy
artillery bombardment has not been fol-
lowed by infantry attacks. This also
is borne out by the repor.: that the Ger
mans are burning towns between Nets
and the American front.

This is the first project in which the

the fact that many men with families
have been brought to the proving
grounds, which is not within con-
vapient distance of school facilities.
In view of the rapid growth of the
washington navy yard, with a corre-
spending increase in the work of
proving guns at Indian Head, it is
likely that work on this project will
be started as soon as possible after
the contract has been awarded.
