ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

Successful Allied Raids.

London, June 9. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports: We success- fully raided on the night of June & to the southward of Beaumont Hamel, prisonering thirty. A successful French raid northward of Bailleul prisonered a few. We repulsed raids south-eastward and eastward" of Arras, and in the neighbourhood of Givenchy Lez La Basses Hostile artill erying is above normal between Villers Brettoneux and " Albert and between Givenchy and Robeeg..

Stopping the German Rush.

London, June 3 "(Dolayed). Beuter's correspondent at the French Headquarters. writing at mid-night on June 2, says: The past week has" brought many unwelcome surprises and hours of acute anxiety, for which no blame can be attached to the troops. If the front now shows a tendency to stabilise it is because the arrival of reinforcements has stiffened the line to a point at which it is physically possible it can hold Up to Sunday wo could only hold the enemy hour to hour and the Germans were enabled to maneuvre and go round obstacles. Their numerical advantage vanishes day to day. We have now "arrived at a ̈stage whereat the formation of a continuous line forces the Germans to attempt mass attacks against La Fer strongly held positions instead of turning them. semilon, the birthplace of Racine, has been bombarded and shells are beginning to fall on Villers Cotterets. Our avia tors regained the ascendancy during June 1, and on the following night dropped 63 tons of explosives on German communications and troops. On May 30 an enemy column three miles long was attacked by fifty aeroplanes, which, flying low, machine-gunned, bombed and dispersed the troops over the neighbouring fields. Sixteen German planes were brought down on the battle-field besides a largo number of balloons, five whereof were destroyed on the Rheims sector in one day. This evening's reports are more hopeful than any since the beginning of the battle. For the first time since May 27 the enemy has not gained ground during the day. On the westward facing front in the direction of Paris, where attack and counter-attack followed in quick succession, the gains of the Germans are at least counter- balanced by those of the French. In the centre tas enemy extended his front on the north bank of the Marne, which is still bounded by Chateau Thierry, which was ovacuated some days ago, and Verneuil Between Verneuil, north of the Marne and Rheims the line runs practically straight north-east. There are no changes of importance in this direction except around Rheims where the Germans hare drawn the line closer. To-day as yesterday the fighting is tho hardest on the western front of the German advance, along the eastern border of Villers Cotterets Forest and south- ward between the valleys of the Ouroq and Mazna. The thick forest which favours the German tactics of infiltration is traversed from east to west by two well-defined valleys, along which runs the railway from Soissons to Vismis. Entering the forest at Longpont the Troesee, a small tris butary of the Ourcq joins these two pointa Along this stream a hotly contested battle raged all day and another round Longpont, Corey, Faverolles and Troesnes. The fight ing was terribly bitter. Trocanes and Corcy were at- tacked again and again, but held in spite of all efforts of the enemy. Our counter-attacks enabled the line of villages fronting the forest to be maintained. Tresnes was re-taken by a counter-attack A new German division was identified in this fighting, relieving & Guard division, which suffered heavily in the opening days of the battle. Bouth of the Ourcq the fighting was almost equally obstinate, The village of Paesyenvallois and Hill 163 were taken by the Germans early in the morning, bat re-captured later in the day. On the whole the enemy has nothing to show for his day's work on the western front. The German line round Rheims, beginning at St. Leonard on the 'Aisne-Marne Conali, ¿ thurine miles south-east of the city, passes throngle Fathony, to north of Trois Fontaines to the north-west and thesse moudle wynt between the suburb of St. Brice and the main town to La Hambette. None of these places bxcept St Leonard are more than a mile from the city. Theims is. asrounded east, north and west. Fully three quarters of an armed circle round the city is held by the Germans. Nothing worth preserving is left in Rheims but the cathedral
