FIGHTING AT ARRAS ASSUMES NEW CHARACTER
(Received July 7, 10 p.m.) s PARIS, July 7. The fighting at Arras has assumed a new character. The Germans have commenced a. series of violent attacks against the two extremities of the semi-circles forming around Souchez: that is, against the advance post thrown out in front of Lorette Hill, and against Cabaret Rouge. There is ferocious'infantry fighting at Angres Road, both sides using stakes from the trenches if their bayonets are broken or their cartridges expended. The Germans prevented the threatened occupation of .Souchez. The German bombardment east of Amiens was not accompanied by -infantry attacks, though intended to foreshadow violent attacks by massed troops. It resulted in a disproportionate loss of ammunition, as the French were not deceived. .
