Our French Allies have had a relatively quiet week, during

which they have improved their positions round Bixschoote, on the Veer, which protects our northern flank at Ypres. On Friday week the enemy made several attacks on the French lines at Fayet, to the north of St. Quentin, and on the Aisne and the Champagne fronts, but achieved nothing. They cannot shake the French resistance anywhere, and therefore cannot account themselves secure on their long southern flank from St. Quentin to Verdun, while Sir Douglas Haig, first in one place and then in another, is battering their northern lines.
