IN THE WEST.

GENERAL HAIG'S REPORT. Received Jan. !), 5.5 p.m. London, Jan. 8. General Haig reports: We repelled an eneiiy ibombing attack about the Ar-mentieres-Lille railway, and our artillery has considerably damaged the enemy trenches at various points. ARTILLERY BATTLES DAILY. BLUEJACKETS SURPRISE THE HU.YS. Received Jan. 9, 5.5 p.m. London, Jan. S. , Mr. Philip Gibbs reports that the British artillery are engaged daily in batfie along its entire line, sometimes reaching the violence of a bombardment preceding an attack. Our losses lately have been small. Our gunners are confident. The enemy are suffering tenfold, and their morale is shaken by the continual strife.

The enemy replies are chiefly mining operations. They lately fired five mines simultaneously near Hulluch. The explosion was terrific, but nevertheless the casualties were few.

The enemy's attempts to occupy the craters were frustrated, chiefly by the action of two bluejackets who were off a visit to the trench. They seized a couple of machine-guns and swept the ground over which the Germans tried to advance.
