SIR D. HAIG'S REPORT.

ALL ATTACKS REPULSED. ALLIES’ LINE RESTORED. London, August 11. Sir Douglas Haig reports; Fresh enemy divisions from the reserve strongly attcked positions at Lihous and south and north thereof. All attacks were repulsed after severe lighting, in which we inflicted great loss upon advancing lines. At one point, immediately north of Lihons, assault troops broke into our positions and penetrated the western side of the village. We counter-attacked with determination and, in the course of fierce fighting over difficult ground, drove hack the enemy to the eastward and northward of the village. The line was completely restored. On our right the French, co-operating with us, continued to attack and progressed south-west and south of Rove. Our patrols took prisoner on the' remainder of the remainder of the British front.
