rangement can be made to dig another Trench across,
that some system of screens or camouflage be erected
and movement made overland, as less damage
would be incurred in crossing the valley, owing to the
increased speed which would be made.

The Enemy's shelling, while intermittent, is severe, using
H.E. From 9.30 till noon today, he threw about eight
shells on our Front and Support Lines, as well as in
Jouave Valley. From 2.45 until 4 o'clock this af-
ternoon, our entire area was very heavily shelled
considerable further damage being done to our
trenches, and Ersatz Valley has again been blown
in at several points. His range on Hospital
ridge is very accurate, and during this after-
noon's bombardment, about eight shells were
placed on the 38th Batt. Headquarters, and Company
Headquarters on this ridge hae also suffered.
Quite a number of his shells were apparently
fired on the Arras Line and intermediate points
