THE GRANT BATTLE LOLLS
ALLIES STRENGTHEN LINES
There has been little news from the front today. That little is good news, It shows the allies are not only holding the lines, but are making advances. The Germans made a hard drive against the French and Americans Saturday night and Sunday, fighting all night and until noon Sunday and succeeded in getting into the American trenches, but were repulsed with heavy losses and today the Americans and French, working together, have retaken the ground lost, have strengthened their positions and are ready for another German attack. The Americans fought bravely, giving ground, inch by inch and making the Germans pay dearly for every foot of ground gained, and then retaking it and leaving the ground covered with German dead.
The British forces strengthened and advanced their lines today and are re-enforced.
