viously had taken an elevated position

RAIDS FROM BOTH SIDES

With the British Army in France
May 7.-(By the Associated Press)-,
The artillerymen yesterday and last
night continued to carry the weight
of the conflict on their. shoulders and
had busy time Of it at numerous
points along the battle front.
There was no infantry action in this
period, but from the furious gun duels
waged south of Arras during the early
part of the night one might easily
have drawn the conclusion that a
grand attack was in progress.
1t developed nothing bigger than
raids, but the quick response of heav'
les along the line showed the tension
that existed. "
During the evening the Germans es.
sayed a raid near Boyelles and about
the same time the British, few thOus.
and yards northward, at Neuville'
iVtasse undertook an expedition into
the enemys lines. The first move
sent colored flares across the sky in
an appeal for artillery barrage. With.
in a few seconds the big guns of both
sides all along this part of the front
were pounding away like mad, and for
several hours the duel continued with
drumfire intensity.
