London, Aug. 31. Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports:-Oux, operations are pro- ceeding satisfactorily east and north of Bapaume, despite increased re- sistance. Hard fighting has taker place on the greater part of this front and the enemy has made a) number of heavy counter-attacks. We entered Riencourt-les-Bapaume and Haucourt, where we actively en- gaged the enemy throughout the day. We captured Fremicoart and Vaulx Vraucourt, securing prisoners, and reached the western outskirts of Beugny. The enemy is still obstina tely defending Ecoust St. Mein, though closely pressed by our troops, who took a number of pri- soners, Determined counter-attacks by strong forces at Bullscourt and Hendecourt compelled us to fall back to the western catskirts of these places, and to the German, trench system between these villages, where our fire stopped the enemy's attacks.
