WESTERN FRONT ACTIVE.

MUTUAL TRENCH RAIDS. HEAVY ENEMY BOMBARDMENT. LONDON. March 3. Sir Douglas Haig reports:— We made successful raids southward of Armentieres and in the neighbourhood of Arleux-en-Gohelle. Two enemy night raids entered the British trenches and captured a few prisoners. In a third all the raiders were killed or captured. After a heavy bombardment on a wide front northward of Neuve Chapelle, a strong party attacked and entered the Portuguese front trenches. They were immediately ejected and the position was restored. The British repulsed raids on the Ypres-Comines Canal, and southward of Houthulst Forest.
