While Il new German stroke on

General Fetain's troop; yesterday eve
ming drove the Germans from Hill
81, an emincnce of some ESQ feet
overlooking the Avre river, and cap
turing the wood to the east and south
east, immediately bordering on the
Avre.
The ground thus gained is probably
more valuable than any other of equal
area which lies along the entire
Somme line. 1t was at Hailles that
the Germans effected their greatest
westward penetration in their Amiens
Grive and at Hill 50, they were within
three miles of the important Paris
Amiens railway.
Adding this new terrain to the other
farther south along the Avre not long
ago, an excellent line of defenses ap-

Other Positions Bettered.
The positions of the French at
Hangard and those of the British on
the Villers- -Bretonneux ridge preserve
the continuity of the line on COM
manding ground at virtually all the
vital spots north of the Somme. In
the Villers-BretonneuX region, as well
there has been further Improvement
of the entente position, the French
gaining ground in local fighting there
last night.
The German artillery seems to have
turned it's attention chiefly to the
southern side of the Flanders salient
and last night was bombarding the
region along the fifteen mile line be-
tween Givenchy and Nieppe wood. In
several thrusts at this front previous
ly the enemy has been unable to make
any substantial headway with the
British lines, supported as they are by
the barrier of La Bassee canal and
