FIGHT AT EMBERMENIL.
(Received Juno 21, 1-35 a.m.)
Paris, June 20.
An official communique states: "We hold the slopes of Hill 110, north of Arras, where our troop» cling to the ground beyond the last German trenches despite attacks by the enemy. South of these slopes our line has been advanced to the north-east of ' the labyrinth.'
" A German battalion at Embermenil, on the Lorraine frontier, captured a small post. We immediately counter-attacked, though our forces were numerically inferior, and reoccupied the whole position, putting our assailants to flight. " Our advance in Alsace along both banks of the Fecht continues, despite a dense mist and torrential rain."
