A number of German soldiers who had put oa British uniforms In order to create confusion in the battle on tha Somme front were taken prisoner and executed. The Germane threw at least seven divisions Into an attack on the British front on both sides of the Scarp River after a heavy bombardment this morn ing.

Although the Germans continue to use their infantry with ruthless prodigality, tha general pressure along tha front la for the moment less de termined. This may ba attributed In part to the enemy waiting to bring up heavy artillery preparatory to another great effort and In part to exhaustion. Village la "a Maa'a Land.
