In the western theatre of war there have been during

the week renewed attempts on the part of the Crown Prince's army to advance, but these have all been checked. In the British section of the line there has been fierce fighting in the neighbourhood of Hooge, in which the Germans made repeated use of flame projectors. Though we at first lost ground, some of our trenches have been recovered. It is to be feared, however, that the casualties have been very heavy.
