fore the projected German attack, the
French and British gunners played
havoc with the German preparations.
The allied troops also have been carry
ing out local operations which improved
their lines and upset enemy schemes.
Yesterday the allies occupied large
number of important positions at vari-
Gus points along the front Of 1000 yards
west of KENNEL. The British also made
an advance Of 500 yards along the front
Of 1000 yards northwest Of LOGON,
thereby gaining a number Of positions
which had been contested many days.
This morning the Germans tried to re-
gain some of these positions, but were
repulsed. An enemy attack yesterday
morning in the LOGON area, under cover
of heavy barrage, likewise was
smashed.
On the southern battle front the Brit
ish last night, near Sailly-le-Sec, ad-
vanced their line in a minor operation,
without casualties. The German pris-
oners taken in all these local engage
ments make a considerable total.
The spirit of the allied troops re-
mains at the highest pitch. They know
that every days delay is in itself vic
tory for them. Each twenty-four hours
that slips by makes America loom larg-
err on the horizon and brings the much
needed overseas troops nearer the bat
