BRITISH GAINS ON THE ANGRE NUMBER OF PRISONERS STILL GROWING FRERCH REPULSE GERMAN COUNTER-OFFENSIVES AIR BAlD IN EGYPT. TO-DAY'S BRITISH OFFICIAL. The following message was issued from British General Headquarters in France at 10.50 a.m. During the night we secured the! ground won in our attacks yester- day north of the Ancre. More prisoners have been taken, the number of which will be reported later. TO-DAY'S FRENCH OFFICLAL. 1 To the north of the Somme We made some progress at the northern cor- ner of St. Pierre Vaast Wood. The artillery activity has been rather iively in the region of Saillisel in the course of the. night. To the south of the Somme the bom- bardment which has continued for the past two days in the Ablaincourt-Pressoir region, as- sumed during the night an ex- treme intensity, and was followed this morning by a German coun- ter-offensive, conducted with im- portant forces on the positions conquered by us on the 7th November from the Ablaincourt Sugar Refinery as far as Chauvnes Wood. The attacks were carried out with a desperation from six o'clock this morning. Despite the extent of the assault and the intense use of liquid fire and tear shells, the enemy sustained a sanguinary defeat. South of the Sugar Refinery at Ab- laincourt, and at Pressoir, as well as in the' woods to the south of this locality, our artillery and machine guns shattered the waves of assault, which sustained heavy losses. Only small sections of the enemy were able to reach a group of houses situate to the east of Pres- soir. A fresh attempt to attack made yesterday towards 3p.m. on Pres- soir was repulsed with grenades. JThe bombardment, effectively checked by us, continues in the whole region. ,To the east o fRheims the German attack on our small outpost in front of Trasmes failed.
