The French reporr” speaks of intermittent artillery firing there. The m several successes along 16 center and eastern lines, while the Germans declare they have taken the second British trenches in Belgium. ert they have repuised oug points, which indi- eling process is under 1 aiong the lines. So close are the trenches of tth ailies and the Germans at many points that aimost the only weapons used are hand grenades, since it is impossible for the men to expose even to so small degree as would be necessary for the ‘vurial of the dead between the lines. According fo a British eyewitness, for any weeks aloug miles of the battle e dead have lain as they fell nere are gruesome accounts of bodies eld erect by the barbed wires and scouts crawling over them of nights.
