LONDON, July 18 (evening). Sir Douglas Haig reports: The Australians made a successful local enterprise on the 17th in the neighborhood of Villers Bretonneux, advancing their lines on upwards of a mile of front, and captured two field guns. We slightly improved our positions eastward of Hebuterne, and successfully raided southward of Hebuterne. We repulsed raiders southward of Bucquoy. There is considerable hostile artillery activity northward of Bailleul.—Aus.-N.Z. C.A. and Reuter.
