The following telegraphic dispatch, dated April 12, 10.10 p.m. , has been received from General Headquarters in France :–

Last night we made a small raid on the enemy’s trenches near Richebourg l'Avoué . It was successful and about 10 Germans were killed.

Enemy yesterday made three successive attacks west of Pilkem-Ypres road. The first gained a footing in our trenches but was quickly driven out. Other attacks were repulsed, leaving about 25 dead in front of our trenches and three prisoners. We bombarded enemy’s trenches of this area to-day.

Considerable artillery activity to-day northwest of Wytschaete. Some shelling about Souchez, Carency, and Calonne.

Behind St. Eloi there has been heavy hostile shelling, but little shelling on the front line and craters.

It has now been established that the gallant fighting of the Canadians in this area has inflicted heavy losses on the enemy during the last week.
