NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE battle- front in France has been extended on both flanks during the week, and the fiercest fighting rages, as we write, on the sector north of La Bassee, while the critical salient facing Amiens is for the moment calm. The enemy is exerting his strength to the utmost, especially against our lines. The situation is un- doubtedly serious, but it will be saved, we firmly believe, by the unconquerable valour of the British and French Armies.
