RATHER LIVELIER
WEATHER IMPROVES
SHARP ARTILLERY EXCHANGE
(Daventry Broadcast.)
LONDON, Friday Night.
The Western Front: was. rather livelier yesterday as a result of an improvement in the weather.
German troops were seen building fortifications, and French artillery opened up and dispersed them. German guns returned the fire, and there was a sharp exchange for some time.
There has been more flying, and a number of decisive engagements are reported over eastern France. One French reconnaissance machine was attacked by twelve Messerschmitte while carrying out a survey over southern Germany. It managed to escape to safety by power-diving to its own lines. ■■■■■•■ .'.'■■ .
