WHERE FRENCH AND BRITISH LINK UP.
GERMANS AIM SHREWD BLOW AT POINT OF CONTACT. FURIOUS ADVANCE MAGNIFICENTLY ■WITHSTOOD. [United Service.] (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 21. The "Daily Mail's" correspondent in France writes that the German attack on Longueval was shrewdly conceived. If successful it would endanger the front where the Franco-British lines meet. The enemy pretends that only n brigade was engaged, but French experts estimate that there were six divisions on a 2J-mile front. Despite tremendous odds and the exceptional fury of the German attack the British magnificently withstood the pressure.
