True to anticipations, the, ene my on the Western front has made an attempt to re-establish at least some of his shattered prestige by an attack on the British line, selecting the Bulleconrt sector as the point of attack.. The attempt fail ed of its main purpose, the only results accruing to the Germans be ing a small bits out of a salient that had just previously been rend ered useless by 6hell fire.
