GERMAN ATTEMPTS AT RAIDING PROVE UNSUCCESSFUL. High Commissioner's Cable. LONDON, August 15.
Sir Douglas Haig reports:—" As a result of local fighting northwest of Pozieres during the last two days, we have retaken nearly the whole of the remainder of the trenches which the enemy gained on Sunday. During the night we also forced an entry into the enemy's trenches at Mouquet farm, bringing back 11 prisoners. Towards the right small enemy attempts to raid our trenches were repulsed with loss."
A French official message reports great artillery activity on the Somme.
