Infaiitiy Fighting Around Fontaine Has Ceased Temporarily
But Intense Artillery Fire Continues.
sA despatch from London says: The
British are pounding hard along their
front in the Cambrai sector, and the
town of Cambrai is now directly under
the fire of the British cannon.
The battling of the infantry for the
possession of Fontaine Notre Dame,
and between eloeuvres and Bourlon
has ceased temporarily, • but at times
the artillery fire is of great intensity
in these regions. Near Poelcapelle and
in the .Arras sector the big guns of
both groups of belligerents are main-
taining a heavy bombardment.
Attacks on the Belgian position
east of Merckem by Bavarian storm-
ing troops gave the enemy some prise
onus' and two niachine-guns, but an-
other hostile attack n Belgian troops
in the neighborhood .of Aschhoop was
beaten off after a bitter fight.
