The British lost a very small piece of territory between Bailleul and Dranoutre on Wednesday, but the German attack here must be record- ed as a failure.

A despatch from Canadian Army Headquarters, says:--All night long . on Wednesday Canadian guns have ! been "active against the enemy positions, shelling hostile "batteries, routes, railways and dumps, while time after time hostile infantry posi- , tions, assembly areas and communica- ! tions have been swept with a harass- ' ing fire. 'Indeed, since the last cable, artillery. activity has been the main eature on the Canadian front. There ave been constant duels between our pwn and enemy batterips. A consid- erable amount of gas has been used. Early Thursday morning we carried ut a small projector gas bombardmen: Sant the enemy positions, to which the Boche replied with gas shelling, but neither operations approached the magnitude of our heavy gas shell * bombardment reported in cable of April 8, in which over 9,000 shells were fired on hostile artillery posi- tions. That gas bombardment was as successful as it was extensive, 22 gut of 82 batteries engaged having en out of action ever since. - While our guns have been active, our infantry have had & comparative- iy 'quiet time, save for constant ¢lashes between patrols. "In one vig- .orous encounter with a. hostile 'raid- ing party, 20 strong, one of our pa- n trols drove the raiders back in dis- order, killing six, capturing two and wounding 10 at least. = We suffered only three slight casualties.
