LONDON, April 5. Tho enemy is again thrusting at what ho believes is the junction of the Kranco-British armies, in tho hope yet of separating them. .' . HivS assaults against tho British yesterday, apparently aimed at a converging movement upon the Jittle town of Cardie, wero delivered in dense waves, which- machine-gun and rifle fire heavily punished. He succeeded in straightening out a little .salient in our line in the neighbourhood of Hainel Wood and village. Our counterattack was not sufficiently strong to restore the position. The weather was wet aud misty, and it was impossible for our airmen to co-operate.,
fragments of projectiles with which the enemy is shelling our back areas bear tho British, marks, .showing that the guns and ammunition came from the Russian front. :
