[AUSTRALIAN it N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION]

V LONDON, July 20th. ■’ The United Press, correspondpnt states that Sir Douglas Hair’s artillery is giving the Germans fits. This stren- , gthens the indication that the Allies are slowly and surely increasing punch, and in places the inHis guns throughout Armentieres are silent, and elsewhere are perpetually pounding the enemy along the roads, support trenches, ’ and reserve positions, also the more distant rest billets. • • , Wherever Prince Riipprecht replaces the tired; by comparatively fresh divisions, the British high explosive shells harrass the moving troops.
