In the western theatre of war we are glad to

be able to record that the French have during the week made a consider. able amount of progress. In the country north of Arras—i.e., in the neighbourhood of Souchez—they have not merely held their own, but have pushed on and gained a good deal of ground. In Lorraine and in the Vosges the French have also made progress, but on the heights of the Meuse, "at the trench of Calonne," the enemy have made a email advance.
