NEWS OF THE WEEK.

SIR DOUGLAS HAIG reports this week a series of raids and counter-raids in every sector of our Western Front. From the sea to St. Quentin, the enemy is being kept in a state of nervous tension. We have gained some ground south of Ypres, and also near Monchy, on the " Hindenburg Line " to the south-cast of Arras. Despite the bad weather, the airmen on both sides have been un- usually active. In the seven days ending with Tuesday, we brought down forty-five enemy machines and drove down forty-three others out of control, eo that probably many of them were destroyed. As the price of these victories in the air above the German lines, thirty-one of our machines are missing.
