LITTLE ACTIVITY ON THE FRENCH FRONT.
GERMAN COUP DE MAINS FAIL GRENADIERS MAKE PROGRESS IN FLEURY SECTOR. (Received 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 19. A French official message states that-the night was calm on the greater part of the front. Two coup de mains by the enemy on our small posts in the region of Paschendale, in Belgium, and north of the Aine, near Passy, failed under fire. On the right bank of the lleuse there was lively artillery fire in the Fleury sector. We made some progress by the help of grenades at Chapello Saint Fine, eastward of Fleury.
