Renewal of the German Drive For the

For Hourly-Heavy Artillery Fire
Below Amiens.

London. Big battle signs fiared ur
repeatedly during the last "a hours on

val as the storm center. French and
German troops clashed in violent local
engagements and the poilus had the

In Flanders the situation has been
"quiet" except for the steady rumble
of the big guns. There was only one
local infantry action there. 1t TOOK

French improved their positions and

checked by the French fire and cost
the assailants losses in blood and pris

There were artillery actions of more
than average intensity in various sec
