This was followed by a series of at- tacks in which large numbers of men took part against the two principal salients of this front. All the efforts of the enemy against the village of Bethincourt were checked by our fire. “During this same time the enemy delivered a furious attack on the cen- ter, against the village of Haucourt. In spite of repeated checks and of bloody sncrifices they were successful in getting a footing during the night in this village. We now hold the village under the fire of our dominat- positions.
