FRENCH. PPRIS, Tuesday, 11 p.m. In the region of jSiotre Dame de Lorette the artillery istruggle to-day was very fierce.

At St. Vaast we have cap- tured the whole of the western "island" of tho village, as well as some fresh houses in the principal road of the north- ern "island" In the "Labyrinth" our troops have re- pulsed a violent counter-attack, and slightly extended our progress. To the south of Hebuierne we have maintained yesterday and last night's gains, in spite of a strong attack de- livered by two German battalions which were hastily brought up in motor cars from tlie region to the east of Arras. We then continued our progress towards the east on a front of about 1,200 metres. The enemy has violently bombarded the trenches which we captured from him yesterday to the north of the Aisne, near Moulin-seus-Tovent. This bombardment, to which our artillery replied, was not followed up by any counter-attacks.  GERMAN.. AMSTERDAM, Tuesday.
