With the arrival of German reserves, the fighting is growing more intense and threatens to spread from the Somme to the Sea. Rotterdam reported today that British artillery has been pounding the German lines in Flanders intensely for two days. People on the Flanders coast have heard the sound of naval guns and it was supposed that British Monitors have joined in the mighty symphony of artillery. Berlin dispatches to the United Press expressed the belief that the British will attack most powerfully further north in Flanders. A Rotterdam dispatch said: "No such tremendous cannonading for such a long period without a break has been heard since the first coast battle oitwo years ago." German counter-attacks are growing more vigorous and have checked and bent back the British left. The British center is making methodical gains under terrific counter attacks. The offensive, after the first deep thrust, now is resolving in to a steady rolling movement with Peronne and Baupme ap parently the immediate objectives. East of Albert, where the French and English lines link, the bloodiest struggle is proceed ing. Driven from five villages, the Germans are fighting des perately to save the important highway lines, the capture of which would imperil Baupme and Peronne. PARIS, July 3. The French have captured Herbecourt. throwing back the Germans on a wide front and advancing to within five miles of Peronne. The French have advanced along a three mile front. A communique said that combats south of the Somme were entirely favorable to the French. Grenade reconnaissances cleared the Deuloges wood of the enemy. Ger mans failed in their counter-attack north of the Somme. The statement indicated that 40,000 Germans were defend ing the Peronne sector. About 31,000 suffered terrible losses and are badly disorganized. The French captured many prisoners and heavy artillery north of Estrees. Most of the prisoners were exceedingly young. They admit that the artillery preparation was very effective, annihilating the defenses and destroying communications. French artillery has destroyed 13 captive balloons. PARIS, July 3.
