BOMBARDMENT GROWING IN INTENSITY.
British Working Up Hill. Approaching a Dominating Position. London, July 17.. The Daily News correspondent writes: Our bombardment preceding the capture of Longueval and Bezenin was the most stupendous yet seen. A wonderful and appalling belt of flame fringed the great arc of the horizon. The noise was terrific. Par over to the left, also, in the region of Ovillers and La Boiselle, it was like a volcano in violent eruption. " The British offensive thus far has been over groimd that is uphill, though not steeply nor always perceptibly. If we can enthrone ourselves on the high ground between the high wood and Martinpuish, we shall dominate the enemy portions."
