The following telegraphic de- ¡ spatch from the British General Headquarters in France was issued to-day at 12.20 p.m. :— Owing to the he;;vy rains which fell during the afternoon and the evening of yesterday, the opera- tions between the Ancre and the Somme were impeded. The night was chiefly spent in im- proving the forward positions gained in yesterday's fighting. In the neighbourhood of Donne- court we attacked the c-iieiiiv trenches with field guns and trench mortars. Near JSeuville St. Vaas and north of Iicx'hincourt, the enemy showed some activity yesterday, and exploded a mine north-east of the former, which, however, did no damage. The enemy also exploded a mine in the Hobenzollet'ii region. North-east of HuiJoch we sprung a mine and destroyed a hostile gallery. Our aeroplanes rendered very great service. In addition to active co-operation with the artillery and important reconnaisaiice works, our aircraft carried out the bombardment of a hostile aerodrome at Douai, dam- aged hangars, and did material dunmge. During the last few days we have captured 20 guns, 51 machine guns ano a targe number oi automatic rifles, transporters, cannister throwers, and such which have not ,yet been scheduled.

Paris, Saturday.—The newspapers this morning render a unanimous iribute of homage to the gallantry of the British A rmy. The Matin says the honours of yes- terday's fighting .'n the banks of the SomnM fall to the hraw' J' Tcmmies." The Echo de Paris says: Let us put it plainly, for it is the simple truth, that wherever the British attacked they gave proofs of a calm courage which is above all praise, and displayed very great tenacity in maintaining the important gains they secured during the day." Con- tinuing. the journal points out: "The Germans could find nothing with which to resist the British advance east of Con- talmaison. hnt a division of the Prussian Guard, and when the Guard gives ground there is danger. The whole division of the Prussian Guard was decimated. «ay6 the journal, and more than ;).000 dead were found on the battlefield after the division had been beaten by the British infantry and forced to retire on the village of Bar*r"iitin. The bad weather, which un- fortunately persists, did not help the operations of our British allies, and this ae ther reason for warmly on what they achieved yesterday, despite the rlf ra te efforts of German troops who have bc^n brought to the front between the Sucre and the Somme. Colonel X.. in the -Journal," writes:— After s ix days of battle there is not much .more to be said regarding the difference between the conditions of conflict on the two banks of th" Somme. The British ad- vance has little chance of accelerating its rate of progrr-s.r, until the bringing into play of our artillery from positions cap- tured on the plateau of Flancour> enable.? us to take the German lines north-west of Combres in the rear. Wl,pn -,ir big run,, are able to take a hand the position of our gallant Allies will improve seri- ously. The Colonel concludes: We must have patience. The silence along our front is not the silence of inaction. WTe are preparing for the coming of good days," Other War News will be found on Page Three.
